New to the pet care scene is All American Pet Company, which recently rolled out Pawtizer, an antibacterial paw wipe because “there are as many germs on paws as on human hands.”
According to the company, dogs carry germs and bacteria and can transfer them to their humans. The alcohol-free Pawtizer wipe, made of spunlace polyester, can kill 99.9% germs and relies on benzalkonium chloride, which eliminates E.coli, salmonella and staph on paws, face and coat. The Century City, CA company showcased the wipe at the 2012 Global Pet Expo in March, and as this issue went to press, company executives said they were filling orders from retailers and Pawtizer would soon be stocked at the “world's largest online retailer.”
