Best Friend NYC joins WOW! Creations to celebrate Barack Obama’s arrival to the White House by presenting the First Family and their new puppy with the “First Puppy” Gift Box, and launching the “InauGROOMation” marketing campaign.  
We all witnessed Barack Obama’s historic speech on the night of his presidential victory promising his daughters
Sasha and Malia a new puppy in the White House. While the search for the perfect breed is still under way, President-elect Barack Obama has narrowed the selection of incoming First Dog to either a Labradoodle or a Portuguese Water Dog.

Equally excited about either choice, Best Friend NYC has partnered with California-based “WOW! Creations” to welcome the First Family and their First Puppy to the White House and present the Obamas with the “First Puppy” Gift Box.

Among a variety of canine-related items presented at this historic gifting, The “First Puppy” Gift Box will feature Best Friend NYC’s Natural Canine Grooming Regimen and a Canine Aromatherapy Candle. The gift box will be presented to the First Family at a ceremony taking place in Washington, D.C. on the second week of February, 2009.  

Additionally, to celebrate America’s new President, on January 15, 2009 Best Friend NYC launches an “InauGROOMation” marketing campaign. This limited-time campaign will feature four value sets (“Transition Team,” “Economic Stimulus,” “Full Cabinet,” and “Presidential Treatment”) with savings ranging from $12 to $30 on Best Friend
NYC Natural Canine Grooming Regimen products, Organic Gourmet Biscuits for dogs, online gift vouchers and Aromatherapy Canine Candles.
