PetSafe® Launches New Busy Buddy® Toys at PATS 2014

Global pet product manufacturer, PetSafe® is adding to its popular Busy Buddy® treat-holding and -dispensing toys at PATS this Spring. Building on the success of the existing Busy Buddy range, the leading pet product brand will introduce three new and exciting toys to visitors at the show: Busy Buddy Jack, Nobbly Nubbly™ and Barnacle.
