Red, White, and Woo-hoo: Train with USA-Made Tools

Why trainers, retailers, and dog care professionals are doubling down on American-made gear this year.

As we celebrate Independence Day, there’s more reason than ever to be proud of where your tools come from, and what they represent.

At Blue-9, we proudly design and manufacture nearly all of our products right here in the USA. For pet professionals like you, that isn’t just a feel-good detail, it’s a smart business move.

Why Made in the USA Matters for Pet Pros

In today’s climate of global delays, rising tariffs, and consumer scrutiny, American-made products deliver clear advantages:

• Fewer disruptions. Domestic production means no overseas slowdowns, port congestion, or customs delays

• No tariffs. Avoid added costs and protect your margins with U.S.-made gear

• Faster restocks. Inventory moves quicker when it doesn’t cross oceans

• Stronger customer trust. Consumers increasingly care about where, and how, products are made

📊 According to a Consumer Reports study, over 80% of Americans prefer U.S.-made products, and 60% are willing to pay at least 10% more for them. (Source: Consumer Reports National Research Center, 2021)
