As of July 9th, customers can use the app-connected houses as a safer and smarter solution when shopping with their dogs, rather than leaving them in the car or tied up on the street. All DogSpot houses are temperature controlled with A/C, puppy cam, app-controlled lock, and fresh-air ventilation to ensure a comfortable, clean, and safe stay for your dog. A vet-grade UVC light activates between each use to sanitize the house. "Zupan's Markets is committed to providing our customers with a grocery experience like none other in Portland & Lake Oswego," said Mike Zupan, President & CEO of Zupan's Markets. "We don't want any member of the family to feel left out, which is why we could not be more excited to introduce DogSpot's high-tech houses, sharing a safe and secure solution for our food-loving customers shopping with fido." DogSpot's Co-founder and CEO Chelsea Brownridge, explains how her own experiences as a dog mom inspired her to create DogSpot, "People who have dogs get it -- you don't get a dog to leave them cooped up inside all day. The best part of their day is going out on walks around town, heading to the dog park, and spending time with you. We're making it possible to say, 'Wanna go for a walk?!' more often and more safely than before." The Zupan's DogSpot official advertising partner is Portland-based Portland Pet Food Company. "We are thrilled to be the first partner for DogSpot at Zupan's," said Kate McCarron, Top Dog of Portland Pet Food. "We appreciate and share Zupan's and DogSpot's commitment to the safety and health of dogs. These high tech houses are a great alternative to tying up a dog outside the store or leaving your dog in a car. As makers of all natural dog meals and treats, we applaud new innovative options that bring health and safety to our community and we are pleased to be a partner of Zupan's and DogSpot, who share our vision," McCarron added. Zupan's Markets customers can easily access te houses through the DogSpot app, available for both iPhone and Android users, where they can view the locations in their area, and even reserve a house 15 minutes prior to arrival. The app also provides a live "puppy cam" feed of their dog inside the house and house temperature. The DogSpot is at all three Zupan's Markets locations: Burnside, Macadam, and Lake Oswego.
