Asleep in the Boat to Exhibit The Walker Vest at SuperZoo 2021
The AITB Walker Vest (patented) will be offered at wholesale and is entered as part of
SuperZoo 2021’s New Product Showcase!
HOUSTON, TX (August 2, 2021)—AITB, the creator of the Walker Vest, a product that simplifies walks
with your 4-legged friends, is excited to be an exhibitor at SuperZoo 2021, the industry’s only in-person
pet retail event in North America, taking place August 17-19 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. SuperZoo
helps pet industry professionals refine their retail strategies, master the latest grooming techniques and
stay ahead of animal wellness trends. AITB will be offering wholesale the patented Walker Vest in a
multitude of different colors along with other dog walking Essentials like reflective leashes, scented
poop bags with handles, and caps. The AITB Walker Vest will be featured at the SuperZoo New
Product Showcase and at booth #4975.
“It’s our first time at SuperZoo and as this event brings the entire pet industry together, we’re excited to
be there and see what everyone has to offer,” said Vicki Lynn, Founder. We’re also excited to introduce
the AITB Walker Vest which gives you the option to walk your dog “hands free” and provides a place to
stow everything you might need on a dog walk.
The AITB Walker Vest started out as a passion project for the Founder who has been a two-dog family
for years. Having taken up walking for WAG, Vicki Lynn noticed how much juggling she was doing on
her dog walks — phone, keys, license, treats, poop bags, water - not to mention the dogs... she needed
her hands free! The AITB Walker Vest is a patented design with an extra-sturdy belting system (patent
pending) and pocket features providing convenience for dog walkers, as well as for anyone needing a
place to put things on a walk or hike.
“We are excited to welcome AITB to SuperZoo this August in Las Vegas,” said Vic Mason, President of
WPA. “This year, it’s more important than ever to bring the pet retail community together after nearly
two years without reconvening. We look forward to providing all of our attendees, exhibitors and
sponsors with safe, in-person experiences to discover the latest products and innovations, collaborate
with like-minded professionals and access expert-led education sessions.”
SuperZoo connects pet industry retailers and buyers to products, education, networking and more. As
the most anticipated industry event of the year, pet industry professionals can explore everything that’s
happening in the industry, from the latest pet products to grooming techniques. For more information
