Nano Pet Products, LLC Named Exclusive Worldwide Licensee by Schoeller(R) Technologies AG for Pet Products to Develop the Most Technologically Advance

SAN DIEGO, CA and WILTON, CT | Posted on February 14th, 2008

Nano Pet Products, LLC, a Wilton, Connecticut-based company dedicated to bringing
cleaner and healthier pet products to pet owners worldwide through
nano-technology, will debut its Dog Gone Smart(TM) Wear brand dog apparel
for the first time in the U.S. at The Global Pet Expo, February 14-16, at
the San Diego Convention Center. The company manufactures and designs
state-of-the-art pet products, The Dog Gone Smart(TM) Bed and Dog Gone
Smart(TM) Wear apparel line, that utilize a unique blend of patented and
award-winning NanoSphere(R) and ActiveSilver(TM) performance finishes based
on nano-technology. Please stop by Global Pet Expo exhibitor booth #5416 to
learn more.

"We have been afforded a unique opportunity as worldwide licensee of
Schoeller's(R) NanoSphere(R) and ActiveSilver(TM) performance fabric
finishes to develop and market the world's most technologically advanced
pet products on the market today," said Chris Onthank. He added, "We are
dedicated to providing our clients with superior products that not only
consistently perform year-after-year, but also are committed to using the
NanoSphere(R) and ActiveSilver(TM) performance fabric finishes that meet
the rigorous environmental standards of the European Bluesign(R) health
seal of approval.

According to Hans U. Kohn, COO, Schoeller(R) Technologies AG, based in
Switzerland, "We granted our worldwide license to Nano Pet Products' owner
Chris Onthank, based on his business vision to provide unmatched product
quality to pet owners, and on his reputation and lifelong dedication to the
care of animals."

The Dog Gone Smart(TM) Bed and Dog Gone Smart(TM) Wear products are
exceptional because:

-- They incorporate the NanoSphere(R) technology, making them extremely
resistant to liquids, dirt, coat oils, and stains so the beds and the
dog apparel stay clean, naturally(TM).
-- They afford pet owners significant savings as the beds and dog apparel
stay clean longer, are highly durable and abrasion resistant, are lab
tested and 100% functional and look like new even up to 60 washing
cycles.
-- They incorporate the ActiveSilver(TM) technology that kills up to 1,000
different bacteria on contact, thus reducing the risk of bacterial and
viral infections as well as allergies, and the dog's skin flora are not
negatively affected. This state-of-the-art technology helps to
significantly eliminate odors, fungus, mildew, and mold. Textiles with
silver finish are hygienic and remain fresh longer.
-- They are made from 100% pure cotton canvas, are hypoallergenic, and
will satisfy the most discerning pet owner and even the most demanding
pet.

According to The American Pet Products Manufacturers Association,
Inc.'s (APPMA) annual survey released last month, more than 26% of pet
owners purchase dog beds, and more than 46% of pet owners purchased dog
apparel in the last 12 months, and these purchases are on the rise.

Dog Gone Smart(TM) Wear offers one style in more than 12 sizes and four
different colors. Owners will find that the jacket is an attractive and
cost- effective option that owners and their pets will enjoy year after
year. These stylish and warm dog jackets can be purchased for between $35

loft and rebounds when your dog leaves its bed. The innovative and classic
beds can be purchased at: Woolrich Inc., In the Company of Dogs, store
chains like Pet Food Express, Pet People, kennel shops, and from
