DONGGUAN, China, Aug. 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dogness (International) Corporation (NASDAQ: DOGZ) (“Dogness” or the “Company”), a leading developer and manufacturer of pet products, including leashes, accessories, and collars and harnesses that incorporate smart technology in China, launched five new products as part of its smart pet ecosystem at a product launch event in Shanghai on August 22, 2018.
“We have a clear goal, and that is not only to become a recognizable brand, but also for the Dogness name to become synonymous with good products, to become a brand that pet owners around the world trust,” Mr. Silong Chen, CEO of Dogness, said in a speech at the event.
“Since going public in December, we have undergone a positive change in product strategy and development, one centered around the concept of 'four products, one platform,'” continued Mr. Chen. “Our strategic focus and the engine of our future growth will be in the following four pet product areas: smart products, hygiene products, health and wellness products and leash products. These four product areas are independent and yet will be part of an integrated ‘Pet IoT Platform.’”
Through a single platform, the Dogness mobile app, the products presented today allow pet owners to remotely see, hear, speak, feed, play, and interact with their pets in different ways:
- Dogness Smart iPet Robot: Pet owners will be able to see their pets through a camera, hear their pets through a built-in microphone, interact with their pets by feeding them treats, and play with their pets through an interactive laser pointer. Pet owners have full control over the 360-degree mobility of the robot through the Dogness app and can securely take and save pictures and videos of their dogs.
- Dogness Mini Treat Robot: Space-conscious pet owners can see their pets through a stationary tilting camera that securely records photo and video, hear their pets through a built-in microphone, interact with their pets by feeding them treats, and play with them through an interactive laser pointer.
- Dogness Smart CAM Feeder: Pet owners can now ensure that their pets are well-fed and on-schedule. Able to hold around 6.5 pounds of dry food, the smart feeder helps pet owners ensure the health of their pets, even when away from home. Pet owners can see their pets’ eating habits night and day through a built-in camera with night vision and call their pets to the feeder through a voice recording that can be programmed to be played at meal times.
- Dogness Smart Fountain: The smart fountain ensures that pets stay hydrated with a source of clean filtered water from a patented filtering technology. Additional features include an oxygenating, free-falling, recirculating water stream for optimal freshness, the ability to increase or decrease the flow of water, a replaceable carbon water filter to maintain water freshness, a submersible pump for quiet operation, dishwasher-safe material, and an easily assembled and disassembled design.
- Dogness Smart CAM Treater: Allows pet owners to see their pets night and day through a 160-degree full HD camera with night vision, hear their pets through a built-in microphone, interact with their pets by speaking to them through a built-in speaker, and play with their pets by tossing them treats.
In addition, Dogness announced an updated retractable leash to enhance the pet walking experience. The new leash allows pet owners to attach Dogness accessories to their retractable leashes, which currently include an LED light for better visibility in low light settings; a convenience box to store items such as doggie bags, treats, or keys; and a Bluetooth speaker to listen to music or answer calls.
In line with its mission of simplifying pet ownership, making it more scientific, and improving the care that pet owners give to their pets, Dogness also announced its own pet shampoo brand as the first product of its hygiene business.
“Pet owners want to do their best for their pets, but one area in which many lack knowledge is shampoo,” explained Mr. Chen. “Just as we use different types of shampoo in different situations, we should recognize that our pet cats and dogs have special requirements as well. For example, their skin is more vulnerable than that of humans, and the pH of their skin is different as well. Even in humans, the average pH of women’s skin differs from that of men.”
Each of the products launched today underwent painstaking refinement from Dogness staff, deep involvement from pet behavior experts, and detailed design from top domestic and overseas brand planning companies to ensure optimal cohesion between product experience, style, and branding.
“We are excited for this strategic expansion of our pet-centric ecosystem. By creating a full suite of products that enable pet owners around the world to better care for their pet family members, we raise awareness of our brand at home and abroad. We also enable ourselves to grow globally, fueling our sustainable development for our shareholders in the years to come,” concluded Mr. Chen.
