The Treat Clincher is a simple, elegant solution to a complex and potentially dangerous problem. It creates personal time for yourself while your dog is fully occupied and safe.
Dogs - especially puppies - try to bite off more than they can chew. Pizzle sticks, cheese sticks and bones pose a major choking hazard, and can be the cause of esophageal damage, intestinal blockages and more. Broken chunks and slimy, chewed sticks can make a disgusting mess of carpets and floors.
The Treat Clincher will hold a variety of long-lasting pet treats. Securing a dog’s treat to a fixed object allows the dog to chew safely while you can peacefully take care of your business and keep a watchful eye from a distance. No more holding a bully stick with your hands or pliers. No more slobber on your carpets. No more worry about your pet swallowing chunks or choking.
It is a long lifecycle product. It is made to last for the generations of dogs most families raise. Solid aluminum and stainless steel represent the permanence of pets in our lives. The competitors are making throwaway devices. BarkerFun is building lifetime dog accessories. The Treat Clincher is patent pending.
The product serves two users. The dog and the human. The dogs stay engaged from an hour to a whole day. The humans get some peaceful quality time to themselves while the dog is occupied but under their watchful eye. We call it - having time to yourself with your dog.
