No matter where you live, you can no doubt find retailers who are paying attention to people’s pets. From gift stores to pubs there is a movement afoot, (slow though it may be), of supplying water and/or pet treats as an added value for patrons accompanied by their pets.

Pet owners would like to see this pet-friendly movement grow a little more quickly. Bylaws and regulations in most places still restrict pets from joining their owners inside pubs and restaurants, though many in more laid-back locales allow pets to be part of the outdoor pub or restaurant venue. It appears that the US is way behind the UK in terms of the availability of pet-friendly pubs and restaurants.

Despite the great challenges of the canine arthritis, spinal myelopathy and hip dysplasia that Watson and the heartbreak his owner suffered, the silver lining in all of this was the creation of a product that has helped many other disabled dogs.

The Bottom’s Up Leash is Watson’s legacy and their website, (a fitting tribute to Watson), is Arnie’s ongoing passion. Their invention has already helped tens of thousands of dogs and their owners to be more comfortably mobile and much happier. Inventing new senior pet assistance products keeps Arnie busy and involved with the pet community worldwide.

With summer in full swing there are a number of things we’d like to share with pet owners… to make their summer easier and more enjoyable.
