Dexas H-DuO Hydration Bottle with Companion Cup Wins “Becker’s Best” Award From Dr. Marty Becker

COPPELL, Texas - March 25, 2014 - PRLog -- Dr. Marty Becker has spent his life working toward better health for pets while becoming “America’s Veterinarian.” For nearly 20 years, he was the veterinary contributor on ABC’s Good Morning America. He’s reached millions of viewers, readers, pet professionals and students with his New York Times best sellers, online posts and veterinary college affiliations.

At the recent Global Pet Expo 2014, the largest pet industry trade show in the country, he also selected his 10 favorite new products and awarded them with his “Becker’s Best” award.  The new H-DuO™ with Collapsible Companion Cup from Dexas and Popware for Pets was recognized for its unique dual-chamber design and the ability to carry a choice of beverages for the pet owner and water for the pet.

According to Dr. Becker and his comments on VetStreet.com, normal daily water intake for a dog is between 3 and 6 ounces for every 5 pounds of body weight.  A similar rule of thumb is 1 ounce per day per pound of body weight.  Depending on whether or not a pet eats canned or dry food, up to half of a pet’s daily water consumption can come from food sources.

“It’s important to have an idea of what’s normal for your own pet, so you can spot when water intake has changed and talk to your veterinarian about this,” said Dr. Becker.  “Such changes are often a sign of illness, so don’t ignore them.”

The H-DuO™ with Collapsible Companion Cup is a truly unique innovation – the first reusable water bottle on the market that can transport two beverage options within the same bottle cylinder. Pet owners can have a sports, energy or soft drink in one chamber, while the other chamber transports water for the pet. The pet parent can drink directly from the open cap top, while the dog can drink from the attached collapsible Companion Cup. Plus, enjoying a hydration break together will become a favorite bonding moment!
