NEW BRITAIN - One of New England's oldest soda bottling companies has launched a new product.
Avery's Beverages, the 103-year-old city company, began selling Woof Water, a bottled water for dogs and their companions, this past week.
"Woof Water is requested by name by more dogs than any other bottled water," said Avery General Manager Rob Metz with a straight face. "It was inspired by Dog Drool, from our gross soda line."
Metz said customers told him they wanted a water they could share with their pets. The result: Woof Water, a pure natural spring water packaged in half-liter bottles.
Metz calls it "hydration for hounds and their humans." A portion of proceeds from Woof Water sales will go to the Our Companions Domestic Animal Sanctuary, the company says. The Bloomfield-based nonprofit organization is in the forefront of a movement to end euthanasia of healthy pets. Funds generated from this promotion will go to support its pet adoption and rescue programs.
Metz embraced the idea, viewing it as a win-win opportunity for Avery and Our Companions.
To launch the promotion, Our Companions featured Woof Water at its booth at the 16th Annual Connecticut Pet Show this weekend at the Connecticut Expo Center in Hartford. Our Companions' chief executive, Susan Linker, promised her organization would offer Woof Water tastings "that will be sure to impress the most discriminating canine connoisseur."
Avery's Beverages bottles and sells premium old-fashioned soda. The family-owned business, housed in a red barn on Corbin Avenue, uses in its sodas real cane sugar, pure well water and what it calls the finest-quality ingredients available. Its Village Spring bottled water is distributed to homes and businesses throughout central Connecticut.
Woof Water is available at the Corbin Avenue bottling plant, pet-related retailers or by delivery. It sells for $1 a bottle or $4.50 per six-pack.
Well if they get it out of a toilet my hound will go for it.
Looks like that dog drank to much beer last night.
LOL
That pic looks more like rover had a few too many doggy ales.
Beat me by 45 seconds. LOL.
LOL ... having a household of men, it was the only was to keep the terlit seat DOWN, and keep the hounds out of the bowl. Win-win situation for me! ;-D
“having a household of men, it was the only was to keep the terlit seat DOWN”
