Exclusively at PetSmart® Stores, Martha Stewart Pets™ Helps Pets Stay Dry in Style

PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Spring has sprung at PetSmart (NASDAQ: PETM), and this year, April showers are bringing much more than May flowers. Featuring trendy rain gear, chic apparel and exclusive pet accessories, the new Martha Stewart Pets spring collection will have dogs looking posh, rain or shine.

“Pets are an important part of the family, and our goal with this collection was to make sure they had fun, fashionable and functional apparel all season long.”

“Dogs love their walks – rain or shine. But the spring season can bring with it a few challenges for pets and their parents when it comes to enjoying outdoor activities,” said Gayle Franger, vice president of merchandise marketing for PetSmart. “With quality clothing options that protect dogs from the elements, PetSmart is helping pet parents keep their pets comfortable, regardless of the weather forecast.”

To help pet parents choose the right clothing size for their dogs, PetSmart has put together tips and tricks in a new, step-by-step instructional video, “The Right Fit.” Featuring Barbara Fight, pet producer for The Martha Stewart Show, the video demonstrates the proper way to measure a dog for pet apparel and what to look for when selecting pet clothing. The video also highlights the importance of pairing accurate body measurements with quality design, including belly-belt Velcro closures, adjustable hind leg straps and an elasticized neck with removable snap-on hood.

“When shopping for yourself, you know how important it is to get the best quality, style and fit at an affordable price. The new spring line of pet clothing has it all and was designed exclusively for PetSmart,” said Fight. “Pets are an important part of the family, and our goal with this collection was to make sure they had fun, fashionable and functional apparel all season long.”

Stylish and Chic Products for Spring

New Martha Stewart Pets spring products for the season range from t-shirts to trench coats and everything in between, including:

Rain Coat: Available in red and blue, the Martha Stewart Pets sleeveless rain poncho features a chic dog-bone print with rubberized waterproof nylon outer shell and cotton lining for comfort.
Twill Trench Coat: A belted, classic trench coat in tan cotton poplin with vented shoulder cape, the Martha Stewart Pets trench includes a turn-up collar with hidden printed stripe pattern on the interior lining and wood button detailing.
