We recently returned from Global Pet Expo in Orlando, Fla. While there, we
discovered lots of fun, new pet products we are now working hard to bring to
our stores and customers.
One of the most exciting finds was a cutting-edge fashion option for a
companion animal that is often overlooked – our somewhat shy and homely
turtle friends. So, drum roll please…we’re proud to announce PETCO’s
exclusive partnership with iShell Turtle Shell Covers!
These fully customizable shell accessories are guaranteed to add a spark of
life to often boring brown turtle shells. Designed to work much like the
iPad covers, iShells use a natural adhesive that creates a temporary bond
with keratin, a fibrous protein that makes scutes, or the horny scales
covering the upper shells of most turtles.
The days of struggling to identify a favorite turtle from its tankmates are
over. With iShells, our customers’ turtles can now also be a delightful
complement to their home décor.
“iShells are made from a natural resin and come in a wide variety of designs
and colors,†said Associate Merchandise Manager for Reptile and Wildlife
Supplies Anna Rodriguez. “They can be easily removed and changed thanks to a
special patent-pending technology, which creates an easily-breakable seal
between the turtle’s shell and the iShell.â€
We expect iShells to become an instant hit when they become available to
PETCO customers this summer. We're also looking forward to other products
from the same Brazil-based vendor, including iScales for snakes and
reptiles.
