First Potato Salad on Kickstarter, Now Dogs are Crowdfunding

Vancouver, BC – A new crowdfunding campaign was launched today on Indiegogo and in an interesting wrinkle, the campaign is being led by dogs. The K9Koolers campaign (www.indiegogo.com) is offering pre-order for an innovative, integrated Pet-Air system that provides pet air conditioning for vehicles when owners are away with monitoring via an app. Pet-Air is addressing the issue of pets left in hot cars leading to heat exhaustion and other harm.

“Anything that can be done to keep hot dogs in my food dish and out of hot cars is alright by me and my buds,” barked Polo, the Campaign’s Top Dog. He added, “The Pet-Air allows us canines to survey our kingdoms on car rides while knowing we’ll be safe and secure on those occasions our human companions need to stop and leave us for a short time. Woof. Woof.”

The campaign is led by Cavachon pup Polo and Springer Spaniel Cassie and backed by their human companions. In the campaign video, Polo extols the dilemma of loving car rides and him and his canine buds having to wait in the car after not being allowed into many places despite “their movie star looks.” The campaign is playful but the cause and solution are very real. Thousands of pets globally face this issue and a humane solution, and some whining by Polo and Cassie, was the driver behind the formation of the K9Koolers team.

“We appreciate wherever possible pet lovers should take their pets with them when they are out and need to stop or leave them at home,” stated Cassie’s companion and K9Koolers CEO Sam Conkin. “However, we realize that there are many instances while travelling – in stores, parks, beaches – where dogs are not allowed. We are designing a system that will give pet lovers and passerbys peace of mind that the pets are safe and comfortable when left alone for a short while.” Cassie added, “Woof, woof.”

In a time where crowdfunding for projects like a potato salad have met success, a campaign by dogs for dogs seems to fit. Perks being offered include front-of-line access to the first Pet-Air systems at a 50% discount off retail, purchase credits at the special rate, autrographed swag and T-shirts for the dogs and their human companions.

“Polo barked alot with Cassie and then gave me the puppydog eyes look that implored us to solve this problem,” commented companion Bret Conkin. “He’s persuasive and cute, if he can get me to scratch his belly, hourly, we might as well help him out. We believe Pet-Air can be your pet’s best friend, after you, of course.”
