WhyZippers Are The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread (NAPSA)—That often heard phrase, “the greatest thing since sliced bread,” needs revising, says a recent poll. Nearly 90 percent of Americans surveyed cast their vote for zippers, not sliced bread, as one of the greatest innovations of all time. While the light bulb, the telephone and the Internet have also been deemed great inventions throughout history, nine out of 10 Americans believe zippers are so important that they can’t imagine life without them. Now, dog owners won't haveto either. Now there is dry dog food that features high-tech zipper closures. For example, the new Pedigree Slide-Rite Zipper Bag is now available on all 15- to 22- pound bagsof dry dog food. It features a specially designed slider zipper closure, to keep food fresh to the last bite. The zipper bag solves top concerns of dog owners whenit comesto their dog’s dry food packaging: freshness, resealability, ease of opening and convenience. Food is one of the most costly, but important necessities to the health and well-being of dogs, and the zipper bag gives dogs Dog owners now have a new reason to think the zipper is a great invention. food that stays fresh to the last feeding. As added convenience to dog owners, Pedigree is providing this new innovation at the same price as its existing bags, so improving the quality of dogs’ dry food won’t require dog owners digging deeper into their pocketbooks. Dogs’ Barking Orders— They Want Fresh Food Dry dog food is an important part of a dog’s everyday life, with 75 percent of dog owners feeding their four-legged friends dry dog food at least once a day. But, most owners admit their dissatisfaction with the quality of food and the inconveniences created by existing dry dog food bags. Most believe that food goes stale before its time because current bags don’t always withstand everyday use, oftentimes, spilling food. This leads more than half of all dog owners (58 percent) to inconveniently store dry dog food in separate, “airtight” containers. And the smart slider zipper technology eliminates the need for a separate container, helping to keep freshness and flavor inside the bag and hungry dogs, insects or other debris at bay. Thespecially-engineered bag contains a multi-layer liner with special adhesives that reinforce and strengthen the heavier-gauge zipper and the sides of the packaging, keeping the bag tough enough to endure everyday wear and tear. The new easy-open, easy-close bag also makes feeding time more convenient and less messy for owners. For more information, log onto www.pedigree.com.
