Paladin Pet Products Pampers Pets Online

City, State (PRWEB) April 4, 2008

Niaomi Hamilton recently opened http://www.PaladinPetProducts.com because of her love of animals and her desire to do something on the Internet. “They always tell you to do something that you know, that you’re familiar and comfortable with, and the Internet offered a means of doing a business where I’m comfortable,” explains Niaomi. “The fact that it’s a pet web site… well, animals I know. Pets I know. I’m very comfortable with my pets; it’s something I love and cherish, so it’s easy. It’s not work.”

A true lifelong passion, Niaomi’s love of her pets and of animals in general is a factor in every facet of her business. “It’s like they say — do something you’re passionate about. I’m very passionate about animals, and about the relationship between animals and people,” she says, detailing just part of her deeply-held philosophy about people and animals. “I want to make sure that it’s a healthy relationship for both parties, and offering products that encourage that relationship feels good to me.”

Niaomi takes great care in the selection of products for her store, going over them carefully before deciding whether or not to include them. “I’m choosing each and every one of these items,” says Niaomi. “I choose them in terms of safety for both the animal and the people. There are certain pet products out there that I disagree with, like dog muzzles that, to me, break the animal’s spirit. I’m always going to choose products that encourage a happy, friendly relationship between the person and the animal. Their relationship should be a joyful and fun one for both.”

Regular updates of both the amusing and the innovative are Niaomi’s stock in trade, keeping her products fresh and catering to all varieties of pet lovers. With a wide selection of pet clothes and fun toys as well as a number of practical items, like safety gates and pet beds, all avenues are covered. “I just found a dog bed for older dogs where you can fill it with hot water to keep them warm in winter, and also with cold water during summer months. That’s practical,” says Niaomi, who also jokes, “Sometimes people think, ‘Oh boy, why would you want to dress your animal?’ Well, if the pets are okay with it and the people are having fun with it, I say go for it. I want to help people understand that animals try so hard to understand us. They’re not just things — they are beings that have huge emotional feelings.”

Niaomi shares both her opinions about pets and advice about her products on http://www.PaladinPetProducts.net, her new blog. “My blog will be to encourage people to express their own relationships with their animals; to inform other people of discoveries they’ve made about relationships with their animals,” she says enthusiastically. “Maybe to relay some fun anecdotes, and again to express examples of how much animals try to talk to us, because they do. They try so hard to interact. I have dogs, and they try so hard to talk to me in a way that they feel I will understand. I think it takes an awful lot of intelligence to try and put things in a way that I will ‘get’. They work hard at that, and I want to give them credit for this, and I think that’s probably one of the strongest things that will come out of my blog. A lot of this is coming from years of study and reading, and a lot of observation — I’m not just pulling this stuff out of my hat. There’s been a lot of research behind it.” The blog will also feature discussion about the various charities Paladin Pet Products will contribute to, helping animals in distress and protecting wilderness areas.

Super Green Vegetarian Cosmetics Company Lush to Donate All Takings to Charity

London, United Kingdom (PRWEB) April 1, 2007

It sounds like a cruel April Fool, falsely raising the hopes of NGOs fighting to save the environment and help with human and animal rights.

Giving away takings is, however, not an April Fool’s joke, but the latest mad plan from looney, green eco-pioneers and purveyors of naked, fresh bathroom products Lush Cosmetics, who now have stores in 46 countries.

Their latest madcap scheme, launched in April, is the world’s first ever ethical loss leader, where ALL the takings, not just the profit, from their new “Charity Pot” Lush-ious hand and body lotion product (retailing in their UK stores from April at £9.95) will go to good causes, such as projects protecting the environment and improving the lives of people and animals.

Lush founder Mark Constantine, who started off by making products for the Body Shop which is now owned by L’Oreal, says, “The hand and body lotion is one of the best and most popular products that we have ever made, so it is perfect for helping to multiply the money available in the kitty to give to green and humane causes. “

Basically Lush customers donate all the money to the Charity Pot fund, (less the 17.5 percent VAT taken by UK chancellor Gordon Brown) and then get a free pot of the most luscious hand and body lotion they’ve ever had the joy of using.

Lush customers can’t lose — only Lush looses.

Time Capsule in New Pet Website Lets Pet Lovers ‘Make Their Pet a Star’

West Palm Beach, FL (PRWEB) November 7, 2007

When two friends decided to create a new spot on the Internet where pet lovers could honor the animals in their lives, the result was Million Dollar Pet Pix. This innovative new pet website, found at http://www.milliondollarpetpix.com – the home of the “Make your pet a star” time capsule, allows pet lovers to share pet stories and photos and to put their pet in the spotlight.

The site’s concept is simple – pets can become pet stars in an online time capsule. Stars mark the location of each pet’s corner of fame and are linked to pet stories and pictures provided by proud pet parents. As the time capsule for pets is filled with stars, finding someone’s pet becomes a kind of fun “Where’s Fido” game similar to the popular “Where’s Waldo” concept.

This “Make your pet a STAR” time capsule allows pet lovers to give “celebrity” to their current animal companions and to memorialize their deceased pets. The pet website also features well respected animal experts in the “Ask the Expert” section. Pet lovers of all ages can enjoy the fun. There are special offers, giveaways and contests for PetPix members, as well as pet notes, articles, pet stories, jokes, quotes and polls. Advertisers also get to shine by becoming stars in their very own “Star Advertisers Time Capsule”.

Unlike social networking sites, specific details like the full names and exact locations of pet lovers are never divulged on Million Dollar Pet Pix, making the site an extremely family-friendly, safe spot to visit for those who love to share pet stories. Even the human team members behind the scenes are represented by animal companion counterparts.

“We hope that pet lovers from all over the world will come visit us to share pet stories,” chirped PR Sammi, spokesbird for Million Dollar Pet Pix. “We’ve set up a fun pet website for pet people to visit,” agrees Marketing Max, the website’s spokesdog. “It is also a safe place where pet lovers can truly celebrate their pet and support a worthwhile pet charity,” he woofed.

A portion of the proceeds, from the sale of each star in this time capsule for pets, is donated to the Genesis Awards. This celebrity-supported charity, founded by animal activist and actress Gretchen Wyler and sponsored by the Humane Society of the United States, honors those in the news and entertainment industries who bring awareness about animal issues and promote compassion for animals.

About Million Dollar Pet Pix:

Million Dollar Pet Pix is a pet website that gives pet lovers a new and creative way to share their pet stories while making their pet a star in the innovative “PetPix Time Capsule.” The site evolved as a healing project to help one of the owners to recover from a great personal loss. Creating a fun and interesting way to make pet lovers smile and feel good was the goal of these two friends. Bringing a little more light and love into the world for pets and supporting a charity both friends respect is their way to uniquely honor animal companions all over the world.

New company bears down on untapped market.

Lees Summit, MO. (PRWEB) July 22, 2003

Everyone loves Teddy Bears, don’t they? Apparently not. NAASA Inc just launched a web site that they believe taps into a unexplored market, a strange and controversial market.

They believe people will pay to torture and maim Teddy Bears and have the remains or the “alive” and crippled bear sent to them.

NAASA Inc. (National Association for the Advancement of Stuffed Animals) launched http://www.ransombears.com on July 4th with the thought that something so off the wall was sure to bring attention. Off the wall may not describe the idea well enough, on the site customers are greeted by a group identifying itself as the Talibear, an organization that apparently just doesn’t like Teddy Bears.

The site is a mixture of humor and violence, and although the captors give you the option to release the bears unharmed there are many more options for torture and executions. Some of the more bizarre ones include fire, boiling oil and a trip to the blender. All bears killed come with a video showing the torture or execution, a certificate of death and an evidence bag containing the remains. Bears released unharmed will be sent in tact with a certificate of freedom.

Is it a joke? “Yes and no” says William County Jr., President of NAASA Inc. “We are serious about selling these bears, we really will be torturing and maiming teddy bears. But we realize these are just stuffed animals, that is the joke.”

How has it been received? “Very Well!” reports Devon M County, brother of William and CEO of the company. “We were getting thousands of hits to http://www.ransombears.com while we simply showed a small video clip of an executed bear and a counter to our opening on July 4th. People are excited about different things and excited about things that push the line.”

With a initial offering of 10 different character bears to choose from, including the Drunk Driving Bear and the Skinhead bear, there promises to be something for just about anyone. “What’s more” continues William County “is that we have another dozen bears in R&D and also have a line of shirts, hats and keychains coming. We hope to introduce at least 5 to 10 new bears each month. We want everyone to have as much fun with our company as we do!!”

Green Dogs Make a Fashion Statement

Springfield, Va. (PRWEB) December 4, 2008

Fundamentally Dog, a new company that offers pet-themed tee-shirts and stationery items, started as a joke: a “high maintenance” Great Dane named Fletcher needed a job.

The joke sparked an idea and evolved into a business that lets owner Nancy Mayes blend her love of dogs with a philosophy of social responsibility. The new line of eco-friendly products celebrates the basic connection people have with their dogs by focusing on what makes a dog a dog and what makes a dog fundamental to our lives.

“We can learn a lot from our pets, if we pay attention and learn to appreciate the value they add to our lives,” says Mayes. “I could write a book about all Fletcher has taught me. Instead, I decided to start a tee-shirt company.”

Mayes looked to Knoxville, Tenn. artist Elizabeth Sawinski to bring the concept to life. A fellow animal lover, Sawinski added her own flair and whimsy to launching the business.

“Besides the eco-friendly aspect of the products, we wanted to make Fundamentally Dog stand out in style, too,” Sawinski explains. “It was important to capture the various personalities and stay true to the dogs, yet do so in a way that was fashionable and fun.”

Sawinski’s artwork and the fun slogans, such as “Shake it Off,” “Live in the Moment,” and “Dog Crazy for a Crazy Dog,” are featured on 100 percent organic cotton tee-shirts that are printed using water-based inks. All of the company’s stationery items and promotional materials are printed on paper that includes recycled content and pulp from well-managed forests by a company that is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and operates a carbon-neutral facility.

“We wanted to start a fun business, and do things the right way from the beginning,” Mayes says.

Fundamentally Dog uses packaging made of recycled materials and strives to use minimal materials when selling and shipping its products. A portion of the profits from every product sold is donated to pet-related charities, such as non-profit rescue organizations and animal health projects.

(PRWEB) September 10, 2004

Founder and star of the english comedy “Monty Python,” ERIC IDLE was caught dining in the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary cafeteria in Kanab, Utah. “I was just telling my wife that the best thing about this place is that nobody recognizes me.” Idle said jokingly as he and his family were herded into the Best Friends radio studios for a quickie interview. The exclusive views of EnglandÂ’s top comic will be rebroadcast on September 25th on the Best Friends radio program.

Sporting cast and crutches, the legendary comic says the view from his cottage allows him to work on his book and see his wife (whose volunteering at Best Friends sanctuary), shoveling horse-poop. “It doesn’t get much more gratifying than that.”
