urges and run, jump and stalk."
Several other items on the market
allow pets to get exercise while
playing with their owners.
Booda Products, Inc., a Gardena,
Calif.-based company which entered
the pet market with covered litter
boxes for cats about 20 years ago,
now makes Wonder Tugs, heavy duty
cotton rings with rubber grip handles
for a friendly game of tug-of-war be-
tween owners and their dogs; two-
sided tugs (for owners with a pair of
pooches); and natural cotton bones
which act as dental floss for dogs. The
suggested retail price for the Booda
tugs is $10 to $20; for the bones, $7
to $15.
And to satisfy the hunger they work
up while watching their videos and
exercising, dogs and cats can munch
on gourmet treats, like the ones sold
by L. Coffey Ltd., based in Minne-
apolis.
Linda Coffey founded the company
in 1982, one of the first in the
gourmet pet food field. Except for
1990, Ms. Coffey says company sales
have doubled every year.
L. Coffey Ltd.'s initial product was
a gourmet dog biscuit concocted of
stone-ground whole wheat, corn
meal, Romano cheese and (the secret
ingredient!) a clove or two of garlic.
Ms. Coffey had created the biscuit for
her own two dogs; when they gave
it four stars, Ms. Coffey, a former
clothing designer/buyer, began
marketing them in the Midwest.
Ms. Payne, of Pet Business, says that
the biscuits sold by L. Coffey Ltd. re-
flect rising public interest in health
foods. She observes, "People's
interest in their own health has
carried over to their pets."
In response to the booming cat
market, L. Coffey Ltd. now imports
fish-shaped cat treats from England.
A 24-ounce jar of either Haute Feline
or Haute Canine treats sells for
$29.50. The company has branched
out beyond gourmet treats and now
also makes bow ties and bandanna
collars for dogs, mink catnip mice for
cats, and natural wooden grooming
brushes.
A pet-owner herself, Ms. Coffey says
