Hallandale, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/11/2012 -- Among the many rewards of dog ownership are the fitness benefits. Betsy Banks, “mother” of six-year-old Truman, says, “I knew that having a dog in my life would guarantee me lots of love. What I didn’t know I was getting was a full-time personal trainer!” Truman, she reports, is an energetic taskmaster. “At his insistence, we walk twice a day, for close to four miles at a time.” This rigorous “training” schedule requires quality equipment. “I can’t tell you how many leashes we’ve been through,” Banks says. “I like the control a retractable leash offers, but finding one that could withstand Truman’s enthusiasm was far more difficult than I imagined possible.”

Whole Pet Direct offers the perfect solution with its aptly-named Avant Garde line of retractable leashes. “Its very name means ‘innovative,’” Joe Alba says, “and the leash definitely lives up to that name. User feedback has been overwhelmingly positive—so we’re excited to offer the latest design to our customers.”

The sturdy ergonomic handle of this well-constructed leash comes in over a dozen beautifully printed, fashionable designs. The newest, Somewhere Up There, features cheerful birds watching the world from a vantage point above treetops. “I love this leash,” Banks enthuses. “It sounds silly, but it looks great hanging on the hook by my front door. I never thought I’d pick a dog accessory because it coordinated with my interior design—but I have to admit: it just makes me smile. And it’s even better when I hook it on to Truman’s collar—because, really, there are few things better than a great walk with a great dog.”

Other Avant Garde retractable leash designs include Prep, a pink argyle design perfect for the stylish female canine, and Animal, a leopard-print guaranteed to unleash any dog’s inner wild child. “They’re really hard to resist,” Banks says. “I’ve had many retractable leashes snap on me mid-walk, so the great construction and durability of the leashes sold me. But having such a wide array of designs is just plain fun.”

Fashioned from the highest-quality materials, Avant Garde retractable leashes are available in two sizes: small, which extends 9 feet and supports up to 28 pounds, and medium, which extends to 15 feet, and supports dogs up to 48 pounds in pull. Both sizes come with an impressive 12-month warranty and retail for $29.99. Whole Pet Direct offers flat-rate shipping of $5.75 per order—with FREE shipping on orders over $100.00.

Style and pricing are not the only reasons to visit Whole Pet Direct. This well-stocked pup emporium not only features supplies selected by experienced dog care specialists to meet all of your pooch’s needs, but is philanthropic, as well. “You’ll find everything you need to keep your best friend happy and healthy,” Banks says “But what feels really great is that, as you pamper your own dog and tickle your own fancy, you can help rescue another dog.”

Mindful of the many benefits dog ownership offers, Whole Pet Direct generously supports dog rescue and adoption. “We are very proud to have partnered with Big Hearts for Big Dogs Rescue,” Joe Alba states. “This non-profit 501(c)(3) organization is devoted to rescuing and placing dogs for adoption, and we happily donate 5% of all sales that are made through the referral link at Big Hearts for Big Dogs.”
