Zoombak Advanced GPS Dog Locators Now Available at More Than 900
PetSmart Locations Nationwide
PetSmart is the First National Pet Retailer to Carry GPS Locator
Technology for Dogs
NEW YORK (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) May 20, 2008 --
Furthering its leadership position in the GPS locator market, Zoombak
LLC (www.zoombak.com), a Liberty
Media (NASDAQ: LCAPA) company, announced today that its Advanced
GPS Dog Locator is now available nationwide at PetSmart stores (www.petsmart.com).
PetSmart is the largest specialty pet retailer of services and solutions
for the lifetime needs of pets. Petsmart is constantly looking for
innovative new products that can help pet parents raise healthy, happy
pets. In support of this, PetSmart is now carrying the Zoombak Advanced
GPS Dog Locator in its network of over 900 locations nationwide. The
Zoombak GPS Dog Locator is the first product that combines the power of
cellular networks and global positioning satellites to help owners find
their dogs more accurately and in real-time via their computer or cell
phone.
“Dogs are an integral part of the family and
unfortunately, most that go missing are never recovered,”
said Simon Buckingham, CEO of Zoombak. “It
doesn’t have to be that way, and we’re
delighted that PetSmart recognizes the potential of our Advanced GPS
locator to reconnect pets with their owners quickly. The sooner they are
safely back home, the sooner they are out of harms way.”
The National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy recently found
that family pets are lost nearly every two seconds, resulting in more
than 10 million missing pets each year. Zoombak will partner with
Petsmart to offer a series of hands-on, in-store demo days at select
locations throughout June and July. These demos will provide dog owners
with the opportunity to learn about Zoombak’s
easy-to-use locator technology and the unmatched peace of mind this new
tool provides.
Weighing only 2.5 ounces, Zoombak features a compact, water-resistant
design and a long-life rechargeable battery. The secure, easy-to-use
interactive website lets owners create custom safety zones, set
real-time alerts and generate on-demand locates. The Zoombak Advanced
GPS Dog Locator retails for $199 and offers service plans starting at
$9.99 a month. Zoombak provides free live phone customer service that
can help users locate their dog 24 hours a day, virtually anywhere in
the US.
