Vending Machines Are Going to the Dogs

When I take Greta for play dates, it’s inevitable that I will forget at least one thing (a toy, poop bags, her dish, or water).
I’m going to start keeping my eye out for the Hey Buddy! vending machine, which is chock full of toys, treats, water and poop bags, all of which can be paid for with coins, bills and credit cards, just like a regular vending machine.
Where else (besides a pet store) can you buy a ball, toy, Frisbee, flea collar, pick-up bags, leash, water and treats? Hey Buddy is a one-stop doggie product shop.
Here’s a list of current locations, and if you have an idea for a new location, check out the franchising opportunities.
Bark Stix has gumball-like vending machines about. One I’m familiar is outside of Jungle Vibes in Petaluma, CA. Pretty cool for those dogs about town. http://www.barkstix.com/gumball.htm
Bark Stix is owned by greyhound rescuers and their site features their dogs–and what cuties they are!
very cool, carrie! thanks for the link!
