Global Pet Expo: A Huge Success

I just experienced my first Global Pet Expo in Orlando, Fla., and I must say that it was amazing! The excitement in the industry is truly palatable and I left feeling energized and more passionate than ever about the role pet products play in our lives. As a representative of Sergeant’s Pet Care Products, I want to share some of the products that were unveiled at the show. I’m sure that these will make all of you passionate pet parents out there excited!

Health and Well Being

SENTRY Clean Up Ultra+Pheromones Stain+Odor Remover

SENTRY Clean Up was developed for dog owners who demand professional-grade stain and odor removal. This lavender-scented formula with extra enzymes rapidly removes urine, vomit, blood and feces and contains pheromones. Pheromone technology is proven to modify behavior such as inappropriate marking.

An exclusive stainBUSTER Brush-on-Bottom design can be used as a separate hand-held brush or attached to the bottle and helps remove stains in just 10 minutes. Available at pet specialty retailers, the 32-ounce product is also offered without a brush in a 60-ounce size.

Sergeant’s Vetscription Joint-Eze Advanced

According to the Arthritis Foundation, arthritis affects one in every five adult dogs in the U.S. Sergeant’s Vetscription Joint-Eze Advanced is a maximum five-in-one joint care supplement that mirrors trends in human health supplements and contains the following ingredients that target joint care:

• Glucosamine HCL to support joint health
• Chondroitin sulfate, an important structural component of cartilage
• Poultry cartilage, which naturally contains glycosaminoglycans
• Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) to help maintain healthy fluid pressure of soft tissue
• Hyaluronic acid, a major component in synovial fluid that has been found to increase the viscosity of the fluid

Sergeant’s Vetscription Joint-Eze Advanced provides maximum relief for severe joint issues and senior dogs and is available at grocery, drug and mass retailers.
