Improving quality of life
Ten years ago, animal behaviourist and
canine expert Chris Onthank set out to
solve many of the common pet problems
we face today. Having worked with dogs
his whole life, Chris knows what products
work best to keep them healthy, happy
and safe. He also understands the day-to
day struggles that both pets and their
owners face, such as walking the dog, and
designs products that help alleviate the
stress associated with these tasks.
Joined by a team of experts from around
the world, Dog Gone Smart is known
for introducing innovative products and
technologies that improve the quality
of life for both pets and their owners.
In addition to its core line Repelz-It™
products of dog bedding and outerwear,
Dog Gone Smart’s award winning
products range from the Original Dirty
Dog Doormat™ product line, to the NINJA
Bed for the toughest of chewers, to the
newest innovative dog walking device,
I’m Gismo. This global manufacturer
of innovative pet products continues to
expand its product offering, catering to
both the pet and the pet owner.
Product innovation
Dog Gone Smart is excited to usher
in a new era of dog walking. The I’m
Gismo dog walking system is designed to
eliminate the struggles of carrying too
much in your hands and allows for a more
comfortable experience when walking
your dog(s). The Gismo can hold any dog
leash and the Gismo grip is ergonomically
designed to improve comfort and control.
I’m Gismo connectables allow the user
to ‘customize’ his or her experience and
turbo-charge the handle for different
activities. Connectable pieces – such
as a rechargeable flashlight, poop bag
dispenser and full-bag carry clip, training
clicker, treat container and dual leash
holder – illustrate the product’s true
innovative qualities.
In addition, Dog Gone Smart continues
to improve existing product lines. For
example, the original Dirty Dog Doormat
line has recently been redesigned as well.
Nanotechnology
Dog Gone Smart’s success story started
with the use of invisible nanotechnology
called Repelz-It Nanoprotection in pet
products, ten years ago. The technology
prevents liquids, dirt and natural oil
in a pet’s coat from sticking to fabrics.
Unlike other stain-resistant technologies,
Repelz-It is highly abrasion resistant
and remains functional for years of use.
It also uses a safe, state-of-the-art
bacteriostatic, which inhibits the spread
of certain odour-causing pathogens.
Products using this technology can be
machine-washed and dried, though
the ‘stay clean’ coating means you
won’t have to do it as often. RepelzIt Nanoprotection is not only safe to
the environment but also to the end
user. The company is not aware of any
other fabric finish repellent technology
in the pet industry that is both PFOA
(perfluorooctanoic acid) and PFOS
(perflourooctane sulphonate) free.
PETS International May 2016
Dog Gone Smart is always improving
on its technologies and staying on the
forefront of innovation.
International presence
Currently, the Dog Gone Smart brand
is found in over forty countries around
the world. “Continuing to expand and
strengthen our brand presence is one of
our key goals for 2016,” says CEO, Chris
Onthank.
2016 is especially exciting as the company
is pleased to announce the launch of their
new Dog Gone Smart company logo. “Our
D.GS logo design communicates a high
quality, innovative brand identity,” says
Onthank. With a strong brand presence
around the world, Dog Gone Smart’s
abbreviated D.GS logo design will assist
in overcoming language barriers that
the words ‘Dog Gone Smart’ could not
universally convey. The company’s new
tagline, ‘Smarter by Design’ signifies the
innovative and solution-based product
lines offered.
Core values
At Dog Gone Smart they understand the
deep relationship between owners and
their pets. By innovating products that
are beautifully designed, technologically
superior, and easy to use, they can help
make this relationship even better.
