Introducing PetKORE Products Supplied by Coastal Pet

Coastal Pet Products has been named the exclusive supplier and sales partner for the PetKORE brand, founded by Joe Markham who is also the founder of the iconic KONG dog toy.

According to a PetKORE news release, Markham’s vision for this brand was to bring something of value to traditionally underserved market segments, including larger dogs. “Enrichment toys and better designed grooming products are the brand’s initial focus. PetKORE products are all made in the USA with globally sourced materials, primarily use natural rubber, are patented or patent pending and are highly functional while also being safe,” stated the release.

PetKORE product samples include the new FloTek Ball. “The FloTek sub-brand refers to the deep grooves on the sides of the ball, as well as the hole in the middle of ball. The ball is solid (not hollow) and the grooves make the ball easier for dogs to pick up during games of fetch and reduces the threat of a dog choking because air can move around and through the ball. Furthermore, the ball is made of natural rubber which makes it durable, while also having a lot of bounce! The ball comes in two sizes and in a version that includes a tug strap. For this reason, that product is called the FloTek Tug,” explained the company.

PetKORE’s KOREflex sub-brand also features the KOREflex Ball and the KOREflex Ball & Tail, ideal for larger dog breeds. “The ball itself is 4.75 inches, includes raised side grooves for grip, is made with natural rubber and has two holes that lead to a hollow core. The ball can be filled with treats, while the ball & tail version is great tug of war and other enrichment activities,” according to the product descriptions.

PetKORE also features the PetKORE GroomRaker, an equine and grooming product. “The GroomRaker is a deshedding tool that has seven individual grooming fingers that are molded from durable plastic. At the tips of those fingers are seven stainless steel blades that are specially designed to pull loose hair and debris away but not irritate skin. The seven fingers move individually to easily contour to uneven areas during grooming,” said the description.

Markham will be in attendance at this year’s Global Pet Expo.
