Popper Pets

Wow! What an honor to be recognized by Pet Boss Nation!

Popper Pets is an emerging brand creating products that help owners create joyful connections with their dogs.

Two things happened at once this week... 🥁
We hit 250 episodes of the Pet Boss Podcast, and we finally did something I have wanted to do for years: give out awards to the brands that impressed us at a trade show. 👏

Morgan and I just got back from SUPERZOO, by WPA, and we walked that floor as buyers. Not as coaches. Not as media. As two people deciding what goes on the shelf at Dante & Dory's Pet Emporium.

Our unique perspective at Pet Boss Nation (the blend of business mentoring and brick and mortar experience) are what make these awards so meaningful!

You helped pick some of these. These first eight awards winners came from crowd voting on social and on the voting sheets at our Pet Boss Party happy hour.

Please join us in celebrating these amazing winners of the first-ever official "Pet Boss Trade Show Awards"

The phone pocket that started it all. 📱

I tested 20+ treat pouches on the market and couldn’t find a single one with a pocket big enough — and secure enough — to actually fit today’s oversized phones.

So I designed my own.

The Focus Treat Pouch features 5 pockets, including a dual-reward interior so you can carry two kinds of treats at once. Large enough to hold everything you need for a training session or a walk — without ever feeling bulky.

Your phone, treats, p**p bags, keys, all in one spot, all within reach.

I don’t have words to describe how I’m feeling in this moment. Seeing a product idea become a full blown brand with a booth at SuperZoo is honestly a dream come true. I can’t wait to get my treat pouch into new stores and get feedback on my new products from retailers this week.

This harness/leash/collar line is so close to being ready for retail - I can’t believe how fast this vision came to fruition! Not without a lot of work, blood, sweat and tears! But today, they are happy tears!

I’m so excited for what the future holds for Popper Pets! If you’re at SUPERZOO, by WPA, stop by booth 11371 in the Emerging Brands to see what the hype is all about!

We’re SUPERZOO bound! We can’t wait to connect with our customers, meet new retailers that can bring our products to your community, and connect with influencers! Come see our new colors and preview our leash, harness, and collar line!

Really loving the clip on the back of my Focus treat bag. Keeps them accessible and is a great reminder to treat my dogs when they load up for adventures!

Spring mornings hit different with an iced coffee and your pup. ☕🐾
