(PRESS RELEASE) SHOREVIEW, MN — Mendota Pet recently announced that it will be the exclusive U.S. distributor for Oomaloo Handmade Pet Toys. This deal will allow Mendota Pets to offer the manufacturer’s entire assortment of handmade toys for dogs and cats for distribution in November 2021.
“We are very excited about our exclusive US distributorship with adding Oomaloo’s wonderful line of handmade pet toys to our offerings,” said Robin Cady, president of Mendota Pet. “Their products perfectly complement our line of pet products, and we are committed to continuing the high standards and quality that has historically set Oomaloo toys apart in the pet industry.”
Oomaloo toys are manufactured in Turkey and handmade by women who reside in economically challenged, multi-ethnic neighborhoods of Anatolia. Needlework is one of the few ways these women have to earn income and creating these pet toys is one way they can express their creativity and extraordinary skill set. With each beautiful item, they share a part of their history, their culture and their lives.
“This craftsmanship and attention to detail are what we are most proud of in this age of technology and machine labor,” said Mustafa Koliva, owner of Oomaloo Handmade Pet Toys. “We value the skills and knowledge of these women, and we are proud to work with them in creating these unique pet toys. It is our way of both preserving tradition while creating innovative products for the modern world.”
With the addition of Oomaloo pet toys, Mendota Pet provides a comprehensive line of products for pets in Training, Health, Skin Care and Play. In addition to their best-selling, made in the USA, leads, leashes and collars.
