Nice on Gary, don't be offended but surely a hoax?

It's a great site, hoax or no hoax!

That is totally wicked - people must love it. Can you imagine icecream/newspaper kiosks in popular dog walking parks having one of these?

Any place where people take their dogs would benefit from this and kids would love it too (not the treats but getting them for Fido).

Good luck with it - I reckon it woudl attract top PR too.

I think it would make a great article at the end of any news broadcast on the telly, something to make people smile and probably something that most people have never even thought of!

Maybe get some good PR company to get you noticed?

Excellent product !

Hi Gary,

I love the product! Pet owners regard their pets as their 'children' in some cases so they'd sure want to give their pet a treat!

Fantastic and good luck with it!

Hi Gary

welcome to the forums, cool idea.
You ever thought of putting these things in pubs that allow dogs.

Good Luck

Great website Gary--welcome to the forum and good luck with the business.

Just one question - How do the smaller dogs reach up to put their money in the slot?

Just thought I'd ask! :lol:

Get these set up at beachside cafes near where I live in Cornwall and you would make a killing.

A great idea. Best of luck!

I would try probaly the beach or at major parks as they are locations where people like to walk their dog.

Saying that the beach is probaly better as people are more likely to have change in their pockets down the beach.


Realy good idea though, im sure itl take off in the UK

I second that!! It would probably go down brilliantly in the US too. Expand!

It's great to see someone come up with an idea that hasn't been done before (or at least I haven't seen/heard of it before - correct me if I'm wrong.)

Best of luck! 8)

I spent a few hours in Bourton on the Water, in the Cotswolds, yesterday. Well, I have never seen so many dogs on leads as I did there!! Dozens of them! One very nice touch they have there is to leave bowls of water outside shops for thirsty doggies - so imagine how much potential you have there for sales of your product!!!

Its where the content is pulled from

http://view.hairybullet.com/clients/doggyvend/

Which is why the risk rating is so high. Netcraft thinks the page may be a phishing page
