It has been a great couple of weeks at Ballboy! Getting prepped and ready for our first, FIRST, National Pet Trade Show. SUPERZOO! Last year Kris and I traveled, via roadtrip, to Superzoo 2012 to walk the show and determine if this would be a place to premier Ballboy to the nations pet retailers, distributors etc! We attempted to register for Superzoo 2013 last year but were denied.. the show had already SOLD OUT! Well, we knew we should be participating so we put our name on the waiting list.. just in case.. Well, we got the email some weeks ago.. there was room for us. .both in the General show booth area .. and a spot in the New Products Area!. This is a huge step for us.. and.. we are just about ready to go!. Thanks so much for all of our great allies!.. Sharon DeDalto, owner, inventor, sales etc.. like all new product manufactuers.. for her guidance and experience as a participant last year.. to Ellen Tortia and Mark Rosenthal of North Bend's Replicator Graphics.. . Awesome signs and the loan of a much needed Show Booth to use in Vegas!.. We are close to ready! Please come see us ..Booth 4952, and in the New Products area at Mandalay Bay Convention Center! We are pumped.. Kris, Lizzie (Production Lead) and myself will be ready to take new orders!

Natural Hemp Ballboy Collars

Posted on April 18, 2013 by Jim Ellis | 0 Comments

The Natural Collar

$14.25

The market is flooded with collars of all types, materials, colors. .etc. We decided to go "Natural", utilizing 100% natural grown hemp webbing, creating a very light weight and strong product. The collar is very soft and comfortable for your dog to wear. The findings used for the connections are high quality YKK buckles and steel, which contains a good percentage of recycled product. When the collar has completed it's work then clip off the findings, put them in the appropriate recycling bin, and then toss the collar into your compost pile! (the sewn on Ballboy tag is bio degradeable ) We make matching leads that will be featured soon as well!

The collar can be washed and air dried. Washing makes the collar softer feeling collar for your pet. Put the leash in a sock, knot the top of the sock, and put in the wash with other non color items. Using the sock will keep the steel findings from banging around in the tub. Remove the collar from the sock and air dry!

The Natural collar is made using 100% natural hemp webbing.

There are several sizes to choose from.
