YOU CAN TEACH AN OLD TOY NEW TRICKS!
UNION CITY, CA (August 10, 2007) In an effort to focus their dog toy development on products molded from their unique, super-durable Stylastomer™ material, Otis and Claude announces a redesigned version of their Jed™ toy. This anxiously anticipated reinvention keeps the rounded bottom with the swooping top handle of the original toy but has been enhanced with the company’s legendary treat center. This new version follows the company’s consistent emphasis on making toys that are “playful” and useful.

We are very excited about the new version of Jed™, says founder Diana Flynn. This is such a strong original dog toy design and we are happy to be able to provide our customers with this new, much more durable and functional version.”

Jed™ will be available in the same six color combinations as the company’s Rita™ toy as well as their flagship product, Bettie® and will come in three sizes (S, M, L). Production quantities will be widely available in late winter.

The company started with a toy-obsessed chocolate lab name Dylan, a hip San Francisco loft and an idea that pet products could be better. In a time when dreams of making millions off every sillyidea.com, Diana quit her job in the high tech industry and set off to do something quite different. Since the initial success of its first product, the Bettie® dog toy, the company has added several new lines of toys, bowls and accessories. Otis and Claude, Inc. is headquartered in Union City, CA.
