"To have our products chosen by the nation's top veterinarian and pet industry spokesperson from among tens of thousands of great pet products at this year's show, is a prestigious honor and tremendous compliment," said Chris Onthank, Dog Gone Smart Pet Products founder. He added, "Congratulations to the other 'Top 10' winners!"

Dog Gone Smart Pet Products were recently recognized as one of the top four pet products of the year at the Global PETS Forum in Barcelona, Spain.

These revolutionary pet products incorporate Dog Gone Smart™ nanotechnology that is PFOA- and PFOS-free of known carcinogens and are "bluesign® approved," the world's strictest EHS (environment, health and safety) stipulations for textiles. The nanotechnology is impregnated into the fabric without altering its texture and feel, and produces a non-visible structured textile surface that coat oil, dirt, and liquids cannot stick to. Residue can be rinsed off with water or machine washed. The fabric stands up to frequent washing and is highly abrasion resistant. These pet products also incorporate non-silver-based bacteriostatic, a proprietary technology that inhibits the spread of bacteria that can cause 'doggy' odor.

One of the three 'Top 10' product picks is Dog Gone Smart's new Aspen Parka that sports a wind- and waterproof outer shell and fleece lining on the inside, a faux fur collar, reflective trim, protective chest and abdominal piece, polyfill insulation, adjustable elastic waist, neck with zipper closure, and dual buckle fasteners at the back for easy fit. Jacket sizes range from 8" to 26" and are available in Scarlet (red), Fern (olive), Marine (blue), and Black.

The Dog Gone Smart unique and comfy Lounger bed, another winner, is made from 100% cotton machine washable canvas and inside pillow for added comfort. Bed sizes range from extra small to extra large and are available in navy, brown, khaki, olive and red. MSRP prices range from $60.38 to $151.60.

Each style includes collars, 4-6 ft. leashes, 80" European leashes, and 40" traffic leashes and harnesses.
