“Multi-Pet immediately captured the essence and whimsical-whackadoodle nature of my most notable characters in both cuddly plush and smooshable-squeezable latex toys! I am thrilled to be partnering with Multi-Pet whose collection of pet toys have been among my own personal favorites…Now together we collaborated on a new line of pet toys that perfectly capture my vision of the essential ingredients we need today: harmony, love, friendship, diversity and tolerance for all people and the pets they love.”  Said Debby Carman

“The minute that we saw the Bowzers & Meowzers™ characters and the creative flair of Debby Carman, we knew that these whimsical designs would fabricate well in to dog and cat toys. The stories behind each character are equally great. MultiPet is looking at a 4th quarter 2020 introduction of this fun line of pet toys” said Mark Hirschberg, President of MultiPet International.
