Purrfect or Dog Gone ? You be the judge
Robert Mazur, the inventor of the Purrfect Opener and the Dog Gone Opener is an interesting man with interesting ideas. He and his brother back in the day watched grandma struggle to open pill bottles to help her arthritis. This lead them to inventing several different products that allows not only elderly people but people of all ages to have an easier more efficient way to open pill bottles and do several other things too.
The first proto type was made out of clay by B.A. Mazur Inc., which was Robert and his brothers C-Corp company. This then allowed the actual forming from plastic to happen. Robert went to a business fair at The University Of Michigan and won $10,000 dollars. That is where he received all of his funding. He was also backed by his father but even to this day Robert says “my father is still asking where is my money that I loaned you”? The money that he won and that his father loaned him made the first prototype. Robert’s knowledge in engineering of 7 years where he worked in the automotive industry helped to launch the first initial product.
On January 4th, 2003 at 10:00 a.m. QVC aired the purrfect and the dog gone openers. Air time on t.v. is extremely expensive and hard to come by. To get this was a really big help for the companies reputation. The product had been out for a little while prior to QVC but now people all across the nation had heard about it.
The Purrfect Opener is shaped like a kitty cat and can do more than just open pill bottles. It can also: open soup cans, cut taped card board boxes, take out the cotton in pill bottles, cut pills in half, and catch pills when popped out of the back of the plastic that the pills are held in. The Dog Gone Opener can do all of the same things but is shaped like a dog.
Robert and his brothers company now have 8 different products and you can find a few of them at purrfectopener.com
