The Dog Who Created
Kennel Gear - Dexter’s Story
Dexter was our beloved English Bulldog, he was an 83 pound fun loving guy that could hold three tennis balls in his mouth and give a big tennis ball grin. He was with us for 14 years.
​
After eye surgery, Dexter was prescribed a cone or E-Collar to wear for 3 months as his eye healed. As we all know, a bulldog with an e-collar equals total chaos in your home and a very challenging task to feed and water the big guy.
​
After a week of having to hand feed Dexter by holding the food and water dish at the proper angle to allow him to eat, an idea was formed that there must be a better way to keep Dexter happy and our house in one piece.
​
The idea of a securely mounted feeding dish was born. The challenge was to make a bowl secure enough for a bulldog to push on but also easily removeable for cleaning. After several prototypes and discussions with our veterinarian, the design for Kennel-Gear was born.
​
The Kennel-Gear design broke the mold of dangerous rings or mounting systems that leave dangerous brackets hanging from the wall that can harm the animal. Our design solved all the issues that veterinarians and boarding facilities have been dealing with for years, rings that can harm the animals and mounting systems that leave sharp protruding pieces of plastic or steel in the kennel with the animal.
​
Kennel-Gear, the securely mounted feeding system which leaves no harmful brackets in with the animal and provides a simple easily removeable bowl or pail for the safe feeding of your pet.
