Dexas range of feeders takes off in a big way


The colourful Dexas range of expandable and collapsible pet feeders is taking off in a big way in the UK following a highly successful PATS Harrogate trade show in September and Discover Dogs in London in October.

The Popware For Pets feeders, distributed exclusively in the UK by AmPet Products, are now available is striking new colours and are certainly catching the eye of both retailers and pet owners.

“Dexas unveiled the new colours at Global Pet Expo earlier in the year and they were a great success,” says Alex Wilson, AmPet’s Sales & Marketing Director. “They even won a Best New Product Award at the show so we couldn’t wait to showcase the range at PATS Harrogate.

“The new colours make for a brighter, more appealing display, and have been developed based on the latest colour trends identified by Dexas.

“We had a great response at PATS from retailers. People seemed immediately drawn to the brightness of the display, and the unique products. And there was a similar reaction from consumers at Discover Dogs so we’re expecting high demand for the products.”

The Popware For Pets feeders are now available in pink, turquoise blue, purple and fresh green.

The patented Popware products are packed with unique features, including:

  • Kennel bowls can be stored flat when not in use, saving on space.
  • Tandem and single feeders can be folded flat for carrying on holidays and trips.
  • The cups can hold wet and dry foods as well as drinking water.
  • Easy-to-carry drinking and feeding cups are designed to clip to belts, bags or leashes for walks.

Made to the highest quality standards, the Popware feeders fold flat and are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.

Retail prices range from £4.99 for the Travel Cup, up to £49.99 for the Elevated Tandem Feeder, which is suitable for larger pets. It can also be height adjusted to suit growing animals.

Alex Wilson added: “We are really pleased to see the sales of Dexas products growing in the UK. We believe it is a very exciting brand with a bright future.

“We hope more independent retailers will recognise the benefit that these colourful items can bring to their stores, and ultimately grow sales of these feeders and their other products.”
