"The innovative products showcased on our site make dogs wag their tails with excitement and kitties purr with delight," says website creator Geoff Mott, who regularly scours the Internet and trade shows for the hottest items.
Mott started PetGadgets last year after his own exhaustive search for truly one-of-a-kind pet products proved frustrating. Most items were scattered among hundreds of sites.
That's when Mott decided to create PetGadgets, a one-stop shopping site with the broadest selection of unusual and electronic pet products.
"This site is a win-win for both the customer looking for unique products and manufacturers that offer them," he said.
Last week the company unveiled its revamped website with bold colors, crisp graphics, and simplified format.
"Our goal is to enhance the customer shopping experience in a manner that both stimulates them visually and enables them to surf the site with ease," said Mott.
