Coppell, TX (PRWEB) April 14, 2015 -- Dexas and Popware for Pets claimed top honors during the coveted New Product Showcase at Global Pet Expo, the pet industry’s largest trade show, held recently in Orlando, FL. The company’s newly released dual-chamber pet hydration bottle called Snack-DuO™ was named “Best in Show” and took first place in the highly competitive dog category of new product introductions. The New Product Showcase attracted 925 entries during Global Pet Expo, with the dog products category accounting for over 500 entries. The Snack-DuO was voted the best new product in this crowded field, by buyers attending the show.
"The Snack-Duo is a product that solves a lot of problems dog owners face when they are taking their pets with them,” said Jeff Logan, Director of Marketing. “It’s simply the most practical, portable solution for carrying food and water for your pet, along with a collapsible cup for serving. And it all fits in a cup holder!”
Now in its fifth year, the New Products Showcase recognizes “Best in Show,” 2nd and 3rd place winners across nine pet product categories.
