Quick Pitch

P.U.P. Anchor*(Pets Under Protection) is a convenient  "patent pending " device that easily wraps around your vehicle's safety belt, then hooks onto your pet's collar or harness to keep your four-legged friend safe and secured.  

Product/Service Details

P.U.P. Anchor*(Pets Under Protection) tether allows for slight range of motion, so happy dogs can poke their noses out the window as you drive. This brilliant apparatus comfortably secures the dog in the seat and gives peace of mind that energetic canines can't crawl under the brake-pedals or fall out of the window while sniffing the country air.  I have designed them to be easily installed onto your vehicle's seat belt.   They are functional, well-crafted, and fashionable. 

Traction & Accomplishments

My friends and family members have begged me to make them their own designer P.U.P. Anchor* with matching pet harness and leash.  I now have secured "Patent Pending" status, and the word is getting around, demanding production of more P.U.P. Anchors* in designer colors.  Colors may include masculine black with gold pin stripes and neon green trim, Princess Pink with lace or rhinestones, camouflage green, and happy bright yellow with Aqua Blue trim, just to name a few color ideas.  I thought about joining with Vera Bradley* or other similar companies  to see about involving their designs with the P.U.P. Anchor*.

The P.U.P. Anchor* is one size fits most.  This product can be used for other small animals (cats, rabbits, ferrets, etc.).  As the project grows, the sky's the limit on the number of P.U.P. Anchor* line of products I will be able to add on the website "www.pupanchors.com".

My team is willing to bring the product to trade shows and businesses, such as veterinarian offices, pet stores, etc.  We are looking to pitch our product to the OHIO Safety Congress & Expo.  My focus now is to build funding and support to manufacture and market the P.U.P. Anchors*.  The projected budget will include manufacturing and start-up fees (estimated at $25,000), website hosting and design, maintaining the website, shipping expenses, business cards, trade show booth registration and marketing, and miscellaneous expenses (estimated at $10,000).  I want to get this product into every pet owner's car.  We can't do it without the supporters helping us achieve this goal.  Safety to the Pets!  Whooo Hoooo!

How We're Different

My invention has "Patent Pending" status, functional, well-crafted, and easy to install. No other pet tether for cars are as fashionable and can be personilized as my invention. My P.U.P. Anchor will fit any type of car (as long as they have a seat belt). Also the device is machine washable. In my opinion, the P.U.P. Anchor is the Best Choice out there for pet and car safety!

Greetings to all the great people that are helping entrepreneurs like me to get started on their dream! I am April Newton, a down-to-earth Ohio country girl who is pursuing the American dream. I have always been a dreamer and very creative. As a young girl growing up in the small town America, I had ideas of writing and illustrating children's books. Later, I went to college for Engineering, as well as Photography and Art. Now, I am a paramedic (I must tell you that I am a "woman of variety"). I am a wife and mother of 5 great kids. My supportive husband and kids have encouraged me to pursue my dreams again. A new wave of creativity has started to flow! Maybe the world will get to share my ideas. I am also the owner of an energetic Aussie-Doodle, named "Storm". He has been the inspiration to my P.U.P. Anchor* invention (P.U.P. is an acronym for "Pets Under Protection"). Like any other dog, Storm loves to go for a ride in the car and stick his head out the window to smell the country air. One day as we were going for a drive, he jumped in the front seat and found a ball on the floor to play with. As he tried to grab the toy, it rolled under my feet while I was driving. The ball lodged behind the brake and he leaped after it, nearly causing a serious car accident! I managed to pull the toy out from behind the brake just in time. I was very shaken up thinking about how wrong the scene could have turned out. As a paramedic, I have seen various types of motor vehicle accidents. They have been minor "fender-benders" to the dreaded fatalities (we almost had a serious collision on a busy road). I remembered a few accidents that were caused by pets loose in the car and distracting the driver. This incident caused me to construct P.U.P Anchors* to comfortably secure my dog in the passenger seat and give me peace of mind that he couldn't do that again (or fall out of the window while sniffing the country air). Let's go places together and make a difference for our pet-owner families! "Creativity is the pavement of our journey. Discover the road-discover the dream. " -- April Newton
