Huntington Beach, CA.- (July 12, 2009)-  PETaPOTTY was a proud partner at The first annual SurfinPaws Dog Jam, a surf competition for dogs of all ages, sizes and abilities, benefiting the Orange County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, that took place on Saturday July 11, 2009. The event started at the Huntington Beach Dog Beach with a Dog Surf Competition and finished with an elaborate Dog friendly Hollywood style, Red Carpet awards party complete with a doggie fashion show, awards ceremony & silent auction held at the Waterfront Hilton in Huntington Beach.  

The first annual SurfinDogs Surf Competition drew over 45 dogs that surfed their way into over 5,000 spectators’ hearts. As the dogs strutted their stuff on the red carpet, and mingled with their owners at the after party, PETaPOTTY was on hand throughout the event to make sure The Pets had a place to do their business. The Pooches were definitely pampered at this event; dogs were even greeted with Mutt-tinis as they waited to strut their stuff on the Red Carpet.

PETaPOTTY has been featured on many of today’s hottest TV shows such as MTV’s, Rob & Big’s Fantasy Factory, where PETaPOTTY built a special Custom Poo Garden for Rob Dyrdek’s best friends Meaty & Beefy. PETaPOTTY was also recently featured on E! Entertainment Celebrity Dog Special, A day in the life of a Hollywood dog, as well MSNBC, ABC, LA Times and many more.

Artist Knox has big dreams. And they might seem unlikely for a kid who grew up in a rough south central, Los Angeles neighborhood trying to overcome what fate dealt him. Coming off his impressive victory on Animal Planet’s Groomer Has It last year and equipped with his winnings, Artist wants to strike while the iron’s hot and open his own dog grooming salon and school. Determined to prove that an underdog can be the top dog in the highly competitive grooming industry while still giving back, Artist decides to bring his infectious charm, signature style and grooming skills to the ultra chic streets of Beverly Hills. But will the wealthy throngs of Rodeo Drive welcome him with open arms? With $50,000 in his pocket, a mobile-grooming truck and his trusty dog Bumpy by his side, Artist begins his quest to make his dreams a reality on Saturdays at 10 PM e/p.

From New York — Page 2 here at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, which begins Monday, but first the PETaPOTTY party.

Try saying that three times in a row while having a drink and watching the floor to avoid stepping on a Shih Tzu.

The Celtics are playing across the street in Madison Square Garden, while here at the Fashion Show on the 18th floor of the Hotel Pennsylvania, hundreds of guests and dogs are dressed alike, Eli the Chihuahua wearing a wonderful silver satin fabric shirt, full vest, of course, with black and clear rhinestones.

Eli the Chihuahua, by the way, is better dressed than Myung J. Chun, The Times’ videographer, who is here to document the next few days. Chun, told he’d be shooting video of the dogs in New York, initially thinks he’s going to a Clippers game.

AIRFARE TO New York, cab ride, hotel room, expensive restaurants and there is no prize money at Westminster. Yet there are more than 2,400 dogs here representing 170 breeds competing for ribbons and an ego boost — Choking Dogs for some reason not recognized as an official breed, but still California with 265 entrants to lead all states.

A beagle, Uno, won last year. A Brussels griffon, Lincoln, is favored this year. A writer, Charlotte Reed, quotes Uno extensively in something called “the blue boo,” and people think Uno is special.

There are 1,000 dogs staying in the Pennsylvania, and while I wonder who is checking into these rooms next week, there’s no containing the excitement of Jerry Grymek, who is wearing a name tag that identifies him as hotel “doggie concierge.”

“We welcome you with open paws, ha, ha,” Jerry says, obviously wanting to be a doggie concierge ever since he was a little pup.

“Oh, let me show you our doggie spaw — ha, ha,” he says, “where everyone is considered a VIP, ha, ha, very important pooch.”

There isn’t a blade of grass or a tree within miles of here, “but we have a loo downstairs for our guests with separate his and her areas because everyone gets their privacy,” says the concierge.

SKYBARk Pre-Westminster Fashion show Golden Paws Award was the place to be Friday night in NYC! who’s who in the dog community were there to network a parade of “well behave owners” and “fashionable dogs” filled the Red Carpet reception area, were celebrities such as “CELEBRYPUPS” Bocker, Eli, Tito, Andrew, Jilli and Elvis posed with Dr. Ruth…whom after spending a lond day giving speeches at universities came to support her good friend Dr. Dave and Elvis.

Uno At the 2009 AKC WESTMINSTER Hotel Penn Green Room Uno 2008 AKC Westminster Dog Show Champ

Located adjacent to Madison Square Garden, the prestigious Hotel Pennsylvania is a Madison Square Gardeninstitution that personifies the city’s style, essence and history. Glenn Miller played there and wrote the famous song and band number entitled “Pennsylvania 6-500,” consequently the Penn’s phone number still reflects the song’s title. It’s tradition for the Hotel Penn to act as a media and social hub for Westminster. No matter where the exhibitors and spectators stay, they converge at the Penn for everything dog related. Skybark transformed the Penn Top Ballroom into the “place to be” for anyone looking to bring their pets, cut loose, and have a great time before the Westminster Dog Show commences. The glamorous ballroom met the high standards of Skybark and featured immaculate views that looked upon the Empire State Building and the marquis of Madison Square Garden.

The Hotel had a large lower-level conference room that was converted into an indoor bio-break facility for the competitors. The facility is referred to as “the Green Room” and PETaPOTTY, was found there taking care of the dogs’ potty needs. Droves of high society pooches clamored over the best pet potty space. The dogs loved it. Judy Davis of First in Line Animal Grooming Products and the veteran host of the Penn’s Green Room Salon, Spa and “Paw Mall’ brought us on and PETaPOTTY was overjoyed to be taking care of prestigious pet business. The accommodations for Westminster entries have made the Hotel Pennsylvania the Travel Channel’s “#3 Bathroom”. The Hotel draws in a great deal of media coverage. There are always paparazzi scouring the place for great shots and videos of the world’s top dogs. The Hotel Pennsylvania was where all the action is, which makes it perfect for an event like Skybark and PETaPOTTY.

Wow! We didn’t know it was the “Top Pet Product Of The Year“-
“Pet-a-Potty Named Top Pet Product of the Year on About.com’s ‘Weird News’”
"Great news everyone. On the CSN Blog, They’ve been HUGE advocates of the Pet-a-Potty ever since they began carrying this wonderfully quirky item. The Pet-a-Potty, the revolutionary indoor dog toilet that features real grass and a unique drainage system, is the ideal accessory for the always working pet owner. Though it may look a little silly, it sure beats having your rug transformed into a toilet every time you stay at the office a little late.

Pet-a-Potty Named Top Pet Product of the Year on About.com’s ‘Weird News’

“We’re big proponents of items that serve a purpose and also have a sense of humor and that’s we’re excited that About.com’s ‘Weird News’ named the Pet-a-Potty ‘the top pet product of the year.’ Author Buck Wolf included this in his ‘Weird Gift Wish List,’ a gift guide in which two other blog favorites also appeared – an Aquarium End Table and a Giant Croc Pet Bed. It’s important to chuckle more than ever these days, so it’s great when silly products like these get recognized. Great work Buck and your ‘Weird News’ Team.
