Paws and Pints Wellness Weekend brings fun for pets and their humans
DES MOINES, Iowa — Paws and Pints celebrated their third Wellness Weekend on Saturday with the help of several vendors, including the Fi Smart Dog Collar. 'It's a way that we can give back, our customers and our members are so local to us so this weekend is a chance that we can give back to them,' said Kyle Casey, Owner and Cofounder of Paws & Pints. 'It means a lot to my wife and I, when we started this company, our goal was to be more active in the community and do things like today's event.' Paws & Pints is a local dog park that offers a good time for both pets and people. During the event, dogs enjoyed a foam party, pup cups, and unlimited tennis balls. Meanwhile, their owners learned about the latest in dog tracking and healthcare from more than 20 local vendors. Greenfield Mercantile grand opening brings business to rebuilding town In its first Des Moines appearance, the CEO and Founder of Fi Smart Dog Collar, Jonathan Bensamoun, showcased a collar that tracks your best friend's steps, sleep, and location. 'The collar is all about enabling dog owners to give their dogs the best lives they can and enjoy the outdoors like they are here at this park,' said Bensamoun. The product first hit the market five years ago, and Bensamoun said he was motivated after getting his own dog eight years ago. 'He's a German Shepherd, and when I got him, I was really worried about him exercising enough. You know German Shepherds are very active, so I wanted to make sure he was working out enough. I also wanted to make sure he didn't escape, so I tested out tracking devices and realized there was room for a new product out there.' Paws & Pints will wrap up their festivities Sunday with Puppy Yoga at 11 a.m. in their Training Facility, featuring adoptable puppies from Hope Animal Rescue of Iowa.
