Meet & greet with Cesar Millan at Canadian Tire store in Toronto on June 17
TORONTO, June 6, 2011 /CNW/ - Today, Canadian Tire launches a new line of quality pet care products by world-renowned dog behaviour expert Cesar Millan, star of the popular and iconic TV series Dog Whisperer with Cesar MillanTM. Canadian Tire is the exclusive mass retailer in Canada to offer this range of functional and healthy pet care products.
The Dog Whisperer with Cesar MillanTM range of pet care products was designed to translate Cesar's knowledge of dog psychology and behaviour into a line of functional and healthy products. The range features products targeted to enhance every aspect of a dog's life including feeding, walking, playtime, grooming and bedtime. Bearing Cesar's "Pack Tested" stamp of approval, all products have been inspired and tested by Cesar's own dog pack at his Dog Psychology Center in Santa Clarita, California.
"Research shows Canadians have more pets than children and pet owners want to provide their furry family members with the best care possible," said Duncan Reith, Senior Vice President, Merchandising, Canadian Tire. "We're consistently looking to expand our pet care assortment and what better way to do this than with the most trusted and credible dog behavioural expert - Cesar Millan."
Co-designed with Cesar's brother, architect and designer Erick Millan, the Dog Whisperer with Cesar MillanTM range of pet care products is designed to evoke an understanding of the simplicity of dogs' lives, with clean lines and functional designs.
"When I first launched the Dog Whisperer with Cesar MillanTM line, it was my mission to make products that were more instinctual and healthier for a dog's needs to achieve balance and fulfillment," says Cesar Millan. "I believe this newest range further fulfills that goal."
Affordably priced, the Dog Whisperer with Cesar MillanTM pet care line includes sustainable bamboo grooming tools, all-natural slow roasted bones, quality toys, bedding, collars, leashes, bowls, travel accessories and shampoos.
The new Dog Whisperer with Cesar MillanTM products are available now at Canadian Tire stores across the country. Customers can find more information on availability of products and promotional offers at www.canadiantire.ca/CesarMillan.
