Partnership offers opportunity for pet lovers to capture a paw or nose print honoring their furry family members, with limited-time savings
Woodstock, IL – May 4, 2021: Thumbies® Inc., creator of one-of-a-kind jewelry and keepsakes worn or carried to honor a loved one, is pleased to announce a new affiliation with the American Association of Pet Parents (AAPP). This partnership supports the AAPP and offers savings on Buddies keepsake jewelry, celebrating pets of all types, to AAPP members nationwide.
“The American Association of Pet Parents is all about the importance of the connection and love between pets and their people,” said Tom Van Winkle, AAPP Founder and CEO. “We are dedicated to providing pet families with dependable and readily available information regarding pet behavior, health and nutrition to help them nurture their bond. We are excited to announce this new relationship with the Thumbies team because we know they are just as passionate about pets and celebrating those relationships as we are.”
“That bond between people and their pets is something extraordinary, it’s proven that the relationship can lead to better health and longer life for everyone involved,” said Wayne Read, CEO of Thumbies. “Our Buddies keepsakes are about honoring that bond, and we appreciate the opportunity to partner with the AAPP to support their efforts for better pet health. And offering savings to AAPP members to help them celebrate their furry family members is something we are thrilled to be a part of.”
Pets are family and Buddies keepsakes perfectly capture the unique paw or nose print of your best buddy. AAPP members can choose a standard design or have our team of U.S.-based artisans design a custom piece, but no matter the choice, each captures the intricate detail of every pet’s unique paw or nose print. Some available options can even combine both pet and human prints, a tangible way to celebrate the entirety of your family.
All you need to start is your phone’s camera app (iPhone or Android) and a picture of your pet’s nose or pawprint to upload, it’s that simple. Pet owners can visit the American Association of Pet Parents site for more information on the best in pet care and additional information on ordering your Buddies keepsake to celebrate the love for your pet.
