GLOBAL PET EXPO 2007

FOUR PAWS PRODUCTS ENHANCES ITS OFFERING OF CABLES, STAKES AND TROLLEYS WITH TWO NEW TIE OUTS!


HAUPPAUGE, NY (Feb 19th, 2007)

Four Paws has constructed a dynamic new tie out stake that is designed to allow freedom and safety for dogs. The Hurricane Tie Out Stake is equipped with industrial strength metal wings, which keep it safely secured in the ground and next to impossible to uproot. The Hurricane Stake is built to endure the force of large dogs, but can also withstand extreme weather conditions to secure patio furniture, statues, tents and much more.

Directions:

  1. Hold stake firmly and hammer into ground until black top cap is flush with the ground.
  2. Attach pet’s leash or other object to the metal chain.
  3. Sit back and relax. The Hurricane Tie Out Stake will leave you with the confidence that your pet is safe to roam about within the area you have designated.

The Hurricane Tie Out Stake, Item No. 90700 will be available in March 2007.

In addition to the Hurricane Stake, Four Paws is introducing another product in our line of tie out cables, stakes and trolleys. The Secure Freedom Tie Out & Exerciser™ has been conveniently engineered as a portable and safe tie out. The elevated, rotating arm prevents the pet from getting tangled in its chain and it also eliminates spilling food & water bowls. Gives pets a roaming area of over 200 feet in circumference and 18 feet in diameter.
