New Zealand Designed Product wins "Product Innovation of The Year"

Torus™, the revolutionary pet water bowl system from Heyrex®, is pleased to announce it has received the “Product Innovation of the Year” award from the United Kingdom’s Pet Product Marketing in February.
 
Named the #1 best-selling dog water bowl in the USA, according to Amazon.com’s Cyber Monday results, Torus provides both dogs and cats with clean, fresh, automatically dispensing filtered water anytime a pet is thirsty. The Torus pet watering bowls are offered in two sizes – 2-liters ($59.95) and 1-liter ($54.95) and are available in red, blue, charcoal, and pink (1-liter only). A five-month filter supply can also be purchased for $17.95. Torus is BPA-free, comes with a 12-month warranty and doesn’t require batteries or any other power source.
 
Each year, Pet Product Marketing asks retailers across the United Kingdom to vote for the products and companies that make an impact within the pet industry. Among several categories, retailers voted on products they believe in and companies they trust, with the results being published in Pet Product Marketing.
 
“We are thrilled to be presented with this award, especially for innovation,” said Kim Goldsworthy, General Manager, Sales & Marketing at Heyrex. “When we launched into the US market last year we knew we had something different and that retailers and consumers were wanting innovation in this category. Receiving this award is a testament to how much our target believes in the Torus watering system.”

Hot on the heels of that award, Torus has been named second Best Care & Accessory Product at ANIDO Trade Fair for Pet Care Market, Belgium, 21-22nd February 2016
 
Now in its 19th year, ANIDO is a professional trade fair which aims to showcase latest innovations in the pet care sector. Industry experts, distributors and retailers were able to cast their vote.   “This is our second award in a month. Torus is a hybrid of a watering fountain and bowl, providing a complete solution for pets and their owners.  Torus continuously receives amazing reviews and testimonials from customers but to achieve this from our peers half way around the world means New Zealand really is delivering innovation in the every growing pet category.”
 
Where conventional pet water bowls contain a water supply exposed to dirt, reduced by evaporation and spills, Torus (Latin for “hollow circular ring”) stores water inside its reservoir walls to ensure an ample supply of water, protected against dust and contaminates. Each time your pet takes a drink, replacement water automatically flows, filtering the water as it refills, without the need for battery or power supply.  When the valve position is set to “lock,” the water is secured inside the walls ready to be transported, and its soft rubber feet and low-profile geometry help reduce mess and spills.
