Pet Ecology Brands, Inc. Secures Additional Retailers for Scientific Cat Litter; Marketing Plans of Company on Track to Exceed Original Projections.


DALLAS -- Pet Ecology Brands, Inc. (Pink Sheets:PECB) -- www.petecology.com -- reported today that their first trade show of the year has resulted in additional retail and wholesale distribution for its recently launched cat litter brand.

The Company's Scientific Professional(TM) Cat Litter was presented by Jupiter Industries, Inc. at their booth in the National Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council (PIJAC PIJAC Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council of Canada ) Canada Trade Show, held this past weekend in Toronto, Ontario. Pet Ecology is currently working with Jupiter Industries to present its products to the 500+ pet retail stores included in Jupiter's database, as well as potential access to more than 800 veterinarians Veterinarians and veterinary surgeons (vets) are medical professionals who operate exclusively on animals. Well-known and notable veterinarians include:
  • Wayne Allard, a U.S.
. Jupiter's representation of the Company's litter products achieves one of the Company's initial goals of securing distribution of its products into the Canadian market.

Deborah Evans, Pet Ecology's Director of Marketing, stated, "We were very pleased to accept an invitation by Jupiter Industries to work with them at their booth at the PIJAC National Trade Show. PIJAC is the world's largest pet trade association, and the Canadian Council hosts only 3 trade shows a year, the largest of which is the national show in Toronto. Our Scientific Professional(TM) Cat Litter produced a great deal of interest at the show, generating several new orders and numerous requests for product samples and information, as well as the opportunity to meet with representatives of major Canadian pet retailers, such as Pet Valu, Inc. and Global Pet Food Stores, Inc., both of which had already expressed interest in our product after seeing our ads in Pet Product News. We are looking forward to working with Jupiter Industries and expect them to be a key player in our plans for major penetration in the Canadian market. We expect the orders presently being generated by Jupiter will greatly exceed our sales projections in the Canadian market for 2005."

Global Pet Food Stores, Inc. has been a franchise system since 1976; in 1997 they acquired Ryans Pet Foods, and have grown over the last 25 years to become one of the leading retailers in the pet food industry in Ontario.

About Pet Ecology Brands, Inc.

Pet Ecology Brands, Inc. has developed a revolutionary patented cat litter that destroys urine odor, clumps and is earth-friendly. The litter is ultra-lightweight and convenient to use (3 lbs works like 21 lbs of clay/sand based products); it is 100% flushable and safe for sewer and septic tank systems. It is completely safe for cats and our environment, and does not contain any sodium bentonite bentonite (bĕn`tənīt'): see clay. , as used in competing brands. The design helps to protect the landfills, and yet does everything that clay litters do ... and more. It has the ability to help indicate certain diseases commonly occurring in cats. The technique used is similar to that found in Merck's Veterinarian veterinarian /vet·er·i·nar·i·an/ (vet?er-i-nar´e-an) a person trained and authorized to practice veterinary medicine and surgery; a doctor of veterinary medicine.
