KlipScoop™ for Pet Food Portion Control Receives “Becker’s Best” Award From Dr. Marty Becker

COPPELL, Texas - March 13, 2013 - PRLog -- Dr. Marty Becker has spent his life working toward better health for pets while becoming “America’s Veterinarian.” For 16 years, he has been 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 2013, the largest pet industry trade show in the country, he also selected his 10 favorite products and awarded them with his “Becker’s Best” award during a special ceremony. (http://www.vetstreet.com/dr-marty-becker/dr-beckers-best-from-global-pet-expo-2013 ) The new KlipScoop™ from Dexas’ Popware for Pets line was recognized for its multiple uses and the role it can play in portion control for pets.

According to Dr. Becker and a related post on VetStreet.com, up to 50% of America’s pets are either overweight or obese.  Similar to humans, dogs with weight problems can be predisposed to joint problems, diabetes, respiratory issues and even heart disease. Pet parents are strongly encouraged to ask their vet how much food they should provide daily.

Dexas Popware™ for Pets believes the KlipScoop™ will become an important tool to help solve the growing trend of pet obesity.  Since KlipScoop is both a collapsible measuring cup and a dry food bag clip, its unique visibility on top of the bag makes it an ideal solution that reinforces the feeding of proper portion sizes to every size of pet.
 
When collapsed, the KlipScoop clamps to the top of a food bag and lies flat against the side of the bag. With the bag tightly closed, the food stays fresh and the tempting smells stay inside the bag.  When popped open at feeding time, the KlipScoop becomes a precise measuring cup for scooping the correct portion size of dry food every time.

Here are the specifics of the new KlipScoop from Dexas Popware for Pets:
•   Materials:  BPA-free poly handle and collapsible cup with non-slip clip pads, stainless steel spring
•   Size: ½ cup, 1-cup and 2-cups
•   Colors: green, purple and pink cups, handle and clip are brown
•   Dishwasher safe
•   Safe for all pet food contact
