Eukanuba recently announced its free OFF LEASH iPhone application , a mobile application that enables dog owners to locate dog parks closest to them.

iPhone and iPod Touch users can tap into the "Locate Me" feature and the five nearest dog parks will populate the screen, along with a map and driving directions. Eukanuba will refresh the database with new dog parks every two to three weeks.

"Eukanuba OFF LEASH makes it easier and instantaneous for on-the-go pet owners to enjoy the outdoors and be active with one of their best friends -- their dog," said Dave Minifie, Eukanuba associate marketing director.
