Planet Dog fetches Editor’s Choice award

Portland, Maine – Planet Dog, the values-led, globally recognized designer and developer of innovative, high quality and award-winning dog products, is proud to announce that its Zip Lead Retractable Leash has received an Editor’s Choice Award from Pet Product News International Magazine. The editorial staff of Pet Product News, a leading pet industry trade publication, announced the award in their August issue.

Thanks to this revolutionary Zip Lead Retractable Leash, dog walking is now more enjoyable. Light, sleek and strong, Zip’s advanced ergonomic design is both functional and highly practical. Zip offers more comfort with less weight, more freedom with less bulk and more pleasure with less strain on hands and arms. Its compact, yet powerful housing is made of ultra-strong poly-carbonate and durable zinc alloy. The wrist strap is roomy enough for large hands and gloves and is lined with neoprene for extra comfort. It also features 17 inches of reflector strip for safety.

Designed to fit in a back pocket so you can free your hands for more important things like ball tossing, Zip is lighter, stronger, smaller and cooler. It is available in three colors (titanium, blue and orange) in three sizes: small (12′ nylon cord leash for dogs up to 20 pounds), medium (10′ nylon cord leash for dogs up to 50 pounds) and large (6′ woven nylon tape leash for dogs up to 100 pounds).

The lightweight nylon lead which automatically extends and retracts without tangling or dragging has been rigorously lab tested and “Lab-tested”. Results repeatedly show it meets or beats the competition. All Zips are covered by a 1-year limited warranty. Unlike others on the market, it is socially responsible, too. A percentage of every Planet Dog purchase goes directly to the Planet Dog Foundation (PDF) to promote and celebrate programs in which dogs serve and support their best friends.
