Spring is Here - Do You Have Your Orbee Ball?

Planet Dog (http://www.planetdog.com/) is celebrating the 10-year Anniversary of their award-winning Orbee-Tuff Orbee Ball. The popular dog ball launched a decade of romping, wagging and giving in 2001. To celebrate the milestone, the pet industry leader has created three Special Edition Anniversary Orbee Balls.

Planet Dog is bringing back one of the very first color combinations, the retro best-selling Lake/Glass Orbee that was originally launched in 2001. The other new color combinations are Red/Teal and Silver/Pink.

The Orbee-Tuff Orbee Ball is known as the best dog ball on the planet. It has received numerous accolades from editors at leading pet consumer and trade publications over the years including Editor's Choice Awards as well as many Top New Product Awards.

Dogs love playing with the hollow, globe-shaped toy because it bounces un-predictably, floats and is peppermint scented. Dog Lovers appreciate that it is also extremely durable, non-toxic, made in the USA, 100% guaranteed and recyclable. It is interactive too since treats can be stuffed into its Treat Spot to entertain dogs for hours. They love the challenge of getting the treats out and of course the reward for their efforts.

All three new color combinations are available in four sizes; small (2.25"), medium (3"), large (4"), and for a limited time, extra large (5"). Wholesale pricing ranges from $3.50 - $8.25. The suggested retail pricing ranges from $7.00 - $16.50. Each size comes in a case of 6-assorted colors (two of each color). Planet Dog will also continue to sell the Orbee Balls in the current color combinations: Blue/Pink; Blue/Green and Orange/Glow.

In addition to all of its award-winning features, the Orbee-Tuff Orbee Ball also helps support canine service. Planet Dog is proud to donate 2% of every purchase to the Planet Dog Foundation (PDF), its non-profit, to provide cash grants to non-profit programs nationwide. Since January 2006, PDF has given away over $785,000 in cash grants and in-kind product donations to exemplary programs that train, place and support dogs helping people in need. To see the 2% in action, please visit http://www.planetdogfoundation.org/.

"The Orbee Ball has put the wag in thousands and thousands of tails for the past 10 years," says Smith. "And thanks to its success we have been able to raise crucial funds to help service dogs across the country help more children and adults in need," adds Smith.
