Scented waste bags are nothing new but Hawaiian Tropic is using them as a way to remind dog owners to apply sun protection before they go out on walks with their pet. For a limited time, the brand is giving people the chance to claim Hawaiian Tropic pet waste bags infused with the brand's iconic tropical scent, plus coupons for nourishing and protective Hawaiian Tropic SPF products.
The scented bags are being released at a time when dog adoption rates have spiked as a result of the pandemic, particularly among Gen Z and Millennials. By infusing the pet waste bags with the familiar scent of the brand's sunscreen products, pet owners will get a reminder to apply protection for daily life and not just occasions like going to the beach.
