(PRESS RELEASE) PHOENIX, AZ — EZwhelp, a leading manufacturer of professional-grade whelping boxes and breeder supplies, has announced a new partnership with Rescue Retriever, the firefighter-founded pet safety company behind the first smoke detector designed specifically for animals. Beginning immediately, every EZwhelp Whelping Box sold will include a FREE Rescue Retriever smoke detection device, offering life-saving protection for mothers and litters in the event of a house fire.
The Rescue Retriever is triggered by smoke, activating bright strobing white lights that cut through thick smoke to guide firefighters directly to enclosures and the pets inside. By integrating this technology directly into its whelping products, EZWhelp is setting a new standard for breeder safety and care.
“This partnership represents exactly what Rescue Retriever was created to do — save pets’ lives by ensuring they’re never left behind in an emergency,” said Rusty Tussing, firefighter and CEO of Rescue Retriever. “EZwhelp’s leadership in breeder safety shows how our technology can enhance other brands’ products and give customers peace of mind. We’re proud to partner with them — and eager to work with other companies who want to do the same.”
For EZwhelp, long trusted by breeders for durable, easy-to-clean, professional-grade whelping boxes, this partnership adds another layer of value for customers by delivering both functionality and life-saving protection in a single package.
“At EZwhelp, our goal has always been to help breeders provide the best care possible,” said Travis Fitz, CEO of EZwhelp. “By including Rescue Retriever with every Whelping Box, we’re ensuring that care now extends to safety — giving breeders a level of security and confidence that’s never been offered before.”
The collaboration underscores a growing industry trend: pet brands are increasingly prioritizing safety innovation as a key differentiator. Rescue Retriever’s technology is proving adaptable for a wide range of applications — from kennels and crates to pet doors, grooming facilities, and shelters — and the company is now actively expanding its wholesale and OEM partnerships across the pet products industry.
