United Pet Group Develops Revolutionary New Aquarium Products for Fish Health Featuring HaloShield® Lifeguard products contain HaloShield, a revolutionary new non-antibiotic agent that demonstrates effectiveness against a wide range of infectious diseases that can occur in both fresh and saltwater environments—bacterial, fungal, viral and parasitic. Each formulation is safe and effective and can be used as a therapeutic treatment or preventive in aquariums. UPG will introduce the new Instant Ocean and Jungle Lifeguard products in March 2006 at APPMA’s Global Pet Expo in San Diego. “Our subsidiaries are showing the strengths of synergy and collaboration by bringing this new class of product to market after a short time of working together,” said John Heil, UPG Chairman and CEO. “Each UPG company has individual strengths in R&D, manufacturing and marketing. By working together they are able to create innovative products and bring them to market rapidly for consumers,” continued Heil. Lifeguard also addresses the problems that occur when introducing new fish in aquariums and empowers the consumer to manage the risks of disease in a much more convenient and efficient way. The products are designed as easy dissolving, pre-measured tablets for consumer use in treating the clinical signs of fish diseases. “Anyone involved in fish care will appreciate the ease and effective nature of this product,” said Buddy Johnson, Jungle Labs CEO. “Lifeguard has many applications for diverse markets, from companies that raise and sell aquarium fish to the everyday hobbyist who enjoys easy fish care,” said Johnson. The result of more than six years of extensive clinical research and evaluation in academic and industrial aquaculture, the HaloShield agent in both Lifeguard products attacks disease-causing microorganisms at several stages of growth and destroys them without interfering with the normal functions of fish. John Kaestle, CEO of Vanson HaloSource, a health sciences company that developed HaloShield said, “We view UPG as an ideal partner in complementing our technical and research capabilities with their market know-how and product experience in the pet industry.” For more information on Instant Ocean Lifeguard for saltwater aquariums and other Instant Ocean products, visit www.aquariumsystems.com.
