“Duties” explained. 

A long, long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away?), we discovered that professional handlers wanted to select as many features as possible for items that had direct contact with their animals. 

Things like color, shape, dimensional size, weight, and, yes, wall thickness were on everyone’s agenda. 

Some wanted relatively small items with very thick walls, while others wanted exactly the opposite: big items that were relatively light. We needed a way to differentiate. Enter “duties”. 

No matter the item’s physical size, its wall thickness (and therefore its weight!) will increase as we progress up the scale of Light – Medium – Heavy – Extra Heavy – and, Severe Heavy Duties. 

The main issue to remember is that a specific duty, say Heavy Duty, is a different wall thickness on smaller items than on larger items. The wall thicknesses on every item and every duty are published to ease your decision. 

Don’t see a wall thickness you want? No problem. Contact us toll-free at 1-866-793-0376 and we will provide a custom quote on exactly what you need.

We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time.

Did You Know?

When you purchase a mirrored product like our Looky Lou or Rocky Lou, you actually get (2) layers of clear Polycarbonate plastic and (1) of mirrored PETG plastic. Why? 

First, early on, the mirror material was either Acrylic or Polycarbonate. We found the Acrylic Mirror to be weaker than we wanted. The Polycarbonate was certainly strong enough but more costly and tended to scratch easier. Enter PETG Mirror! 

PETG Mirror is the best of both worlds. It is very strong and, yet, priced in the range of Acrylic. Nice! We have a video of an impact test if you want to see it. 

Why the Polycarbonate? To protect the surface finish of the PETG Mirror. We ship your mirrored item with (1) Polycarb CLEAR Cover on the top layer and another one on the back side to be used on the front side when the original becomes too scratched. Kind of like a built-in spare tire. This way, the mirror is always protected.
