Pets 911 and UrineOff Partner to Prevent “Accidents”
Filed under: Pets 911, Press Releases - September 18, 2007
Scottsdale, AZ – One of the most difficult aspects of owning a pet is cleaning up any messes left behind on furniture or carpets. Through a new partnership with Bio-Research, LLC, owner of UrineOff, Pets 911 will promote the quick and easy removal of stains and smells to dissuade pet owners from taking their pets to animal shelters.
Pet “accidents” is one of the leading reasons that pet owners will surrender their animal to a shelter. Even utilizing litter boxes and walks outside can’t fully guarantee the prevention of urine stains and smells, and as the leading portal on pet adoption Pets911.com is always concerned with reasons that owners might want to get rid of pets.
UrineOff launched in 2003 as a product that both eliminates stains caused by pet urine as well as lingering smells. As a Pets 911 partner, UrineOff will be providing educational content for the Pets 911 website and newsletter on issues including reasons why a pet may be having accidents.
As part of the partnership, UrineOff will donate 15% of all purchase proceeds from participating venues to Pets 911. Pets 911 is the national pet lost and found database and provides valuable information to pet owners, including locations of emergency clinics, veterinarians and shelters along with helpful advice on training, behavior and pet health. All of these services are provided free of charge for visitors to Pets911.com.
“Pets 911 is interested in generating actionable content for pet lovers and pet owners, and UrineOff has been studying pet accidents for years,” said Pets 911 CEO Jeffrey Rassás. “This partnership will provide information and solutions for owners all over the U.S. and help reduce the number of animals living in shelters.”
“Not only is pet abandonment due to accidents a huge problem, but it is also our business,” stated Rich Kaplan, President of UrineOff. “After looking around, we identified Pets 911 as a major organization that could not only help us get the message out, but at the same time educate pet owners that there are effective ways to treat this problem, namely UrineOff.”
