Business Wire
Central Garden & Pet Company (NASDAQ: CENT) (NASDAQ: CENTA),
a leading innovator, marketer and producer of quality branded
products for the lawn and garden and pet supplies markets is proud
to announce that its Bio Spot™ Smart Shield™ Applicator was named
as the most innovative product in the dog/cat flea and tick control
category by the editors of Pet Business magazine.
Launched in 2012, the Bio Spot™ Smart Shield™ Applicator is a
breakthrough topical flea and tick control delivery device with an
exclusive, patent-pending design. The applicator gets fast,
effective treatment down to a pet’s skin where bugs live, while
keeping the liquid off of consumers’ hands.
The applicator delivers a more confident, secure, and easy
application of Bio Spot Defense Flea and Tick Spot On topical
treatment, which starts killing fleas and ticks in 15 minutes and
helps prevent re-infestation for up to two months. Designed with
input from veterinarians and consumers, this ground-breaking new
applicator is also the first of its kind.
“Being singled out for innovation in the highly-competitive flea
and tick category is gratifying and it’s a testament to the hard
work from several functional groups at Central Garden & Pet,”
said Steve LeVeau, Director of Marketing – Animal Health for
Central Garden & Pet Company. “From consumer insights, to
manufacturing, regulatory, marketing and sales, this was a
collective effort to bring a unique delivery system to the market
that pet owners said they wanted,” LeVeau continued.
“Each year, the Pet Business editors honor innovation in the pet
care category with our Industry Recognition Awards (IRA). To find
our winners, the editors of Pet Business search through vendor
press releases, the aisles of the industry’s major trade shows and
even local pet store shelves to find the most exciting and
functional products the industry has to offer,” according to the
Pet Business website.
In the 11th year of the annual Industry Recognition Awards, Pet
Business saluted the Bio Spot™ Smart Shield™ Applicator for
offering pet owners a more convenient and secure way to protect
pets from fleas and ticks and allowing the fast-acting treatment
down to the pet’s skin.
