As many of you know, we like to host a friendly “Pet of the Month” contest. In the beginning we featured one lovable pet a month on our website with a little write up about their likes and dislikes, and who they were. However, so many irresistibly cute faces started popping up in our inbox and giving us the infamous puppy eyes that we decided to expand the contest! Here’s how it works now.

Each week we announce a pet who has been selected as the ‘Thursday Furball.’ Then at the end of the month we ask you, our lovely readers, to vote for the pet you’d most like to see crowned with the honourable title of “Pet of the Month.” The winner then receives a Pawsh prize. Fun, yes? So be sure to email us your pet photos to [email protected] to enter for your chance to win!

For this month, April, we’ve decided to unveil the prize at the beginning of the month instead of the end and we couldn’t be more thrilled to introduce you to the sublime collar and leash combos of Peachy Keen Pets. That’s right, April’s “Pet of the Month” will walk away with a brand new collar and leash of their choice! How utterly fabulous is that?

Peachy Keen Pets (which, by the way, is a great name for a pet business!) was founded in 2009 by Niki Geroni and her two pug assistants, Miso and Hummus (again, terrific names!) Based in Toronto, Ontario, Geroni uses rare vintage cotton fabrics with the quirkiest prints possible to create her lovely leashes and cute collars. The fabric is then sewn over durable webbing and each item is finished with industrial welded hardware — in other words, tough stuff!

Miso and Hummus and some of their bigger dog chums, lend a paw as the official product testers to ensure that each item has been built to last! Geroni completes all of the sewing by hand while her sidekicks have the very important task of snoring noisily at her feet or making her laugh with pronounced ‘eye-googling.’

“I am truly lucky to have found a job that I really love to do,” says Geroni happily. “I get to be with my dogs all the time and get to outfit amazing dogs from all over the world with one-of-a-kind products.”

Peachy Keen Pets products are currently stocked in 26 locations across North America, with new stores in NYC and San Diego! PAWSH is very excited to be working with such a wonderful heartfelt company. So don’t waste another second! Grab your cameras, snap some photos of your pets and send them in to us! You could be awarded a beautiful collar and leash at the end of the month! And go!
