PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pet parents can bring the island lifestyle to their dogs this summer with Tommy Bahama Pets – a new collection of apparel and toys now available exclusively at PetSmart® (NASDAQ: PETM) through August. Since every pet deserves the paradise of a happy home, five percent of the purchase price for each limited-edition item will be donated to PetSmart Charities® in the United States and Canada to help save homeless pets.
“For 20 years Tommy Bahama® has invited everyone to enjoy the island-inspired lifestyle and for many, that includes pets as part of the experience,” said Rob Goldberg, SVP Marketing, Tommy Bahama. “This pet collection was inspired by the important role pets have as part of our families and our desire to help pets who need it most.”
Whether pets are headed to a relaxing travel destination this summer or to the backyard for some fun in the sun, PetSmart’s Tommy Bahama Pets collection features Tommy Bahama’s well-known hibiscus flowers, palm trees and camp shirts. Pets can enjoy a life of leisure with tees, dresses, beds and toys, including:
- Tommy Bahama Pets Fish & Chips Shirt: This classic camp shirt featuring playing cards and a beach scene is pet-ready with velcro straps so it’s easy to get on and off.
- Tommy Bahama Pets Pink Hibiscus Dress: Hibiscus flowers and a ruffled skirt give this dress a relaxed and tropical look that’s perfect for island nights or an afternoon walk.
- Tommy Bahama Pets Straw Hat: Go overboard with this eye-catching, island-style hat that’s trendy and earth-friendly. The breathable liner keeps your dog’s head cool too.
- Tommy Bahama Pets Floral Cuddler Bed: Nestled under a palm tree in the warm sun, this cozy bed is the slice of paradise your dog needs to relax, with plenty of room to stretch out.
- Tommy Bahama Pets Hibiscus Ball Crab Toy: The tide washed in this squeaky toy for pets to play without a care in the world.
“Tommy Bahama Pets captures the island and coastal spirit so pet parents can have even more happiness with their pets this summer,” said Laurie Taylor, PetSmart’s vice president of dog and cat hardgoods. “And more homeless pets will be helped by the donations PetSmart Charities will receive from the purchase of these products.”
