MESA, Ariz., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- For pet owners, modern day conveniences don't always make life easier. Electronic items, along with remote controls and cables, can pose a threat to pets that like to chew - often resulting in serious injury or even death.
"We have seen pets who have had their tongues burned off or killed after chewing through power cords," said David Wallace, the owner and inventor of ChewProof products. "Ingesting plastic items from remote controls is also a real danger to pets."
After discovering his own dog had been chewing on a remote control and his father's cat ate some TV wires, Wallace invented ChewProof products. Currently, the company offers two safety products for pets: A universal remote control made from a chew-resistant polymer and a power cord protector designed to safeguard the wiring.
"When you consider the number of electronic items people have in their homes these days, chewing-related injuries will begin occurring more and more," Wallace continued. "This is a serious health issue for animals, but unfortunately there is very little awareness among pet owners." Not only are remote controls and power cords a potential danger to pets, but also audio-video cables, speaker wire, and any other cords within a dog or cat's reach.
Wallace realizes that the ChewProof approach has merits for products other than electronics. Already under development are a ChewProof Wallet, a ChewProof Eyeglass Case, ChewProof Leashes and Collars, and last but certainly not least, a ChewProof Cell Phone.
"Anyone who is a pet owner knows that dogs and cats don't see the world like humans do," he said. "They see a chew toy where we see a remote or a power cord. Our research has found that pets are often attracted to items by their scent. Our products are designed to prevent as well as protect; they are made from a super-hard compound that resists chewing and also emits a scent pets do not like to help prevent chewing."
