<description><![CDATA[ <p>PetArmor<strong><sup>�</sup></strong>, a brand of Sergeant's Pet Care Products,  Inc., is best known for flea and tick pet protection, but its mission  extends beyond products. Building on the success of its 2013 partnership  with Vested Interest in K9s, Inc., PetArmor is committed to funding up  to 25 bullet- and stab-protective vests for law enforcement K-9s in  2014.</p>
<div class="prnml"><img id="prni725bleft" title="As a part of the Perrigo Company, a leading global manufacturer of OTC healthcare products, PetArmor products help improve the overall health of pets across the United States by providing vet-quality products that are affordable and accessible." src="http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20130920/DE83620LOGO-b" border="0" alt="As a part of the Perrigo Company, a leading global manufacturer of OTC healthcare products, PetArmor products help improve the overall health of pets across the United States by providing vet-quality products that are affordable and accessible." align="middle" /></div>
<p>Vested Interest in K9s. Inc., is a nonprofit organization dedicated  to providing bullet- and stab-protective vests to police organizations  nationwide. �</p>
<p>"PetArmor has developed a partnership with Vested Interest in K9s  because the companies share a common value: making canine protection our  No. 1 focus," said <span class="xn-person">Caryn Stichler</span>, VP of  marketing for Sergeant's Pet Care Products. "K-9s put their lives on  the line every day to help protect us and keep our communities safe.  Helping to protect them through this donation is our way of saying thank  you."</p>
<p>More often than not, law enforcement agencies do not have the budget  to provide vests for their four-legged K-9 officers because each vest  costs approximately <span class="xn-money">$1,000</span>.</p>
<p>"Law enforcement K-9s are usually the first officer to enter a dangerous situation," said <span class="xn-person">Sandy Marcal</span>,  founder of Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. "Our bullet- and  stab-protective vests allow K-9s the same level of protection as their  human counterpart. We're thrilled that PetArmor is once again providing  funding to help protect police K-9 officers across the country."</p>
<p>In 2013, PetArmor donated 25 vests to police dogs in <span class="xn-location">Austin, Texas</span>; <span class="xn-location">Jupiter, Fla.</span>; <span class="xn-location">Riviera Beach, Fla.</span>; and <span class="xn-location">Baltimore, Md.</span> To learn more about the partnership, visit <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.petarmor.com/" target="_blank">www.petarmor.com</a> or <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.vik9s.org/" target="_blank">www.vik9s.org</a>.</p>

<description><![CDATA[ <p>Committed to its mission of helping dogs live happier, healthier  lives, Sergeant's Pet Care Products, Inc., a leader in the pet supplies  industry, unveiled two innovative over-the-counter flea and tick  products at the 2014 Global Pet Expo: PetArmor<sup>�</sup> Plus IGR<sup> </sup>for fleas and ticks<sup> </sup>and FastCaps<sup>� </sup>(nitenpyram) for fleas.</p>
<div class="prnml"><img id="prni2b1bleft" title="PetArmor Plus IGR for dogs." src="http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20140312/DE80087-a" border="0" alt="PetArmor Plus IGR for dogs." align="middle" /></div>
<p>"Protecting your dog from fleas and ticks is an important part of responsible pet care," said <span class="xn-person">Caryn Stichler</span>,  VP of marketing for Sergeant's Pet Care Products. "Fleas and ticks  cause distress for pets and, more importantly, they cause disease that  can affect humans as well."</p>
<p>The fleas and ticks on your pet are only a small percentage of the  number in the animal's environment. Fleas and their eggs can live  outside in grass, soil and crevices in sidewalks and live inside in rugs  and carpets, floor cracks and bedding.</p>
<p>Fleas and ticks multiply at an alarming rate and can threaten human  health as well. Fleas can transmit tapeworms while ticks can carry the  bacteria that cause Lyme disease. Getting control of these pests is  vital and the solutions are easier than ever with PetArmor Plus<sup> </sup>IGR and FastCaps, available at grocery, mass and drug retailers.</p>
<p><strong>PetArmor Plus IGR</strong></p>
<p>PetArmor Plus IGR contains fipronil, the No. 1 veterinarian-recommended active ingredient<sup> </sup>used in FRONTLINE<sup>�</sup> brand products<sup>*</sup> and kills adult fleas, ticks and chewing lice. The product also  contains Novaluron, an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) that kills flea  eggs and stops the reinfestation cycle.</p>
<p>PetArmor Plus IGR costs less than FRONTLINE<sup>�</sup> Plus<sup>*</sup>, which uses (s)-methoprene as its Insect Growth Regulator.</p>
<p><strong>FastCaps</strong></p>
<p>New from the makers of PetArmor, FastCaps (nitenpyram) is the only  fast-acting and effective oral medication for the treatment of flea  infestations available at grocery, mass and drug retailers. Containing  nitenpyram, the same veterinarian-recommended active ingredient found in  Capstar<sup>�</sup> (nitenpyram), FastCaps begins working in 30 minutes to kill adult fleas on your pet<sup>**</sup>.</p>
<p>Oral tablets provide protection that can't rub or wash off. FastCaps for dogs and cats are available this spring.</p>

FRONTLINE<sup>�</sup> Plus for dogs contains Fipronil 9.8% and (s)-methoprene 8.8%.

<description><![CDATA[ <p>(Omaha, Nebr. - February 19, 2013) Sergeant's Pet Care Products, a leader in the pet supplies industry, announces the release of Sergeant's Pronyl OTC Flea and Tick Spray for Dogs and Cats, the only generic equivalent to Frontline Spray currently available. This waterproof spray kills fleas and ticks - including brown dog ticks, American dog ticks, lone star ticks and deer ticks, which can spread Lyme disease - for up to 30 days. <br /><br />Sergeant's Pronyl OTC Flea and Tick Spray for Dogs and Cats contains the same active ingredient found in Frontline Spray, Fipronil, but also introduces a new way to apply flea and tick spray to pets. With the Bag-on-Valve (BOV) Technology, it allows for a continuous and quiet spray from any angle.<br /><br />"The new spray is another way we can meet the needs that pet owners are expressing clearly. They want products with active ingredients they know from veterinary products, but they also want more cost-effective options and the convenience of purchasing these products over-the-counter at retail," stated Caryn Stichler, vice president of marketing at Sergeant's. "We are pleased to be able to respond to these consumer demands and to add the BOV technology for easier, more precise application."<br /><br />Bag-on-Valve (BOV) Technology Benefits<br /><br />The innovative BOV system consists of a pouch attached to an aerosol valve. The flea and tick spray is contained with a sealed bag, while the pressurized inert gas fills the space between the bag and the can. The pressurized gas is eco-friendly and made up of dry compressed air or Nitrogen. This BOV also reduces finger fatigue when compared to traditional trigger/pump sprays. <br /><br />Sergeant's Pronyl OTC Flea and Tick Spray for Dogs and Cats is available at grocery and other retailer stores nationwide.<br /><br />About Sergeant's Pet Care Products<br /><br />Sergeant's Pet Care Products, one of America's most trusted brands of pet supplies, is an Omaha, Nebraska-based manufacturer of pet products.

<description><![CDATA[ <p>(Omaha, NE - February 6, 2013) - There are nearly 70  million dog owners and 74 million cat owners in the United States, and  while many of these pet owners know it is important to keep their pets  healthy, they don't necessarily think about the things they should be  doing on an ongoing basis to ensure that health. Sergeant's Pet Care  Products, a leading pet care product company, and actress and animal  advocate, Tiffani Thiessen, are partnering together to emBARK on Pet  Health by educating and empowering these families during Responsible Pet  Owners month.</p>
<p><br />The emBARK on Pet Health campaign asks pet owners  to take a simple pledge to become more mindful of their pet's ongoing  needs at www.embarkonpethealth.com. Each pledge will trigger the  donation of a Sergeant's Pet Health Kit, which with the help of American  Humane Association will be sent to help one of the millions of animals  waiting for their forever homes at local shelters nationwide. These kits  will ensure that these animals are sent home with all the products they  need to get started on a healthy and happy life together after adoption<br /><br />"I  have always been an animal advocate, especially for those living in  shelters," said Tiffani Thiessen, actress and emBARK on Pet Health  spokesperson. "Keeping my animals healthy and happy is of utmost  importance to me which is why I decided to partner with Sergeant's Pet  Care Products and American Humane Association. I'd like to help educate  and empower pet owners with the tools and information they need for  daily pet care to aid in a long and healthy life for their animals."<br /><br />Providing  your pet with consistent preventative care can save pet owners from  having to deal with larger problems down the road and can add years to  the life of a pet. This ongoing care can protect pets from disease,  behavior problems or other health issues that if left untreated could  eventually come to cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. <br /><br />"As  pet owners and leaders in the pet care industry, we understand that  pets truly are members of the family," said Patsy Sumner, vice president  of marketing services. "We know owners want to keep these family  members healthy, so it's our mission to ensure that we are a resource  they can call on when they have questions regarding their overall health  needs. The products and tools we provide are designed to ensure that  pets and their families have long, happy and healthy lives together." <br /><br />Sergeant's  is committed to providing up to 5,000 Pet Health Kits to shelters  nationwide with the help of American Humane Association. Each kit,  estimated at a total retail value of $50.00, features the most popular  Sergeant's products designed to keep pets healthy every day. These  products include: <br />- Sergeant's Whiff Shampoo<br />- PurLuv Sizzlin Strips<br />- SENTRY Petrodex Dental Kit<br />- SENTRY Calming Collar for dogs with Good Behavior pheromone technology<br />- Sergeant's Vetscription Joint Eze Plus<br /><br />"We  are honored to partner with Sergeant's Pet Care Products and Tiffani  Thiessen on this campaign," said Dr. Robin Ganzert, president and chief  executive officer of American Humane Association. "This is a very  exciting program that has the potential to benefit millions of pets and  families. We are hopeful that being able to include these Pet Health  Kits in the adoption process will give families the confidence and tools  they need for a successful start with their newest additions." <br /><br />For  more information about the emBARK on Pet Health campaign, including pet  health tips and how you can take the pledge, visit  www.embarkonpethealth.com.

<description><![CDATA[ <p class="MsoNormal"><img src="http://www.sergeants.com/images/sergeants.png" alt="" width="126" height="35" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Times;">(Omaha,  Neb. &ndash; March 19, 2012) Sergeant&rsquo;s Pet Care Products, Inc., one of the  nation&rsquo;s oldest and largest manufacturers of pet supplies, officially  opened their new corporate headquarters and production facility in  Omaha, Nebraska today. The company, founded in 1868, will celebrate the  day with a ribbon cutting ceremony at the new location. �Company CEO Bob  Scharf and employees will be joined by Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman,  Sarpy County Board of Commissioners Chairman Rusty Hike and Greater  Omaha Chamber of Commerce President David Brown at the event.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Times;">The  move illustrates the 144-year-old company&rsquo;s strong growth over the past  decade. The growth in business from national and international  retailers spurred the need to increase the size of the corporate  headquarters and relocate and expand the production plant, which was  formerly located in Memphis, Tennessee, to the new Omaha facility. The  facility produces the company&rsquo;s multiple lines of flea and tick products  as well as healthcare aids and grooming supplies.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Times;">The  new corporate facility, purchased in December 2011, gives the company  131,000 square feet of space. This includes corporate offices and a  94,000-square foot production facility. Production at the new facility  began in January after relocation and renovation. More than 70 new  employees have already joined Sergeant&rsquo;s and the company reports that it  is still actively hiring for a variety of positions.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Times;">Bob  Scharf, CEO at Sergeant&rsquo;s, expressed excitement about what the new  facilities mean for the company&rsquo;s future. &ldquo;We are very proud of this  facility. We&rsquo;ve increased our corporate office space two fold and in  addition, we have relocated our EPA and FDA production facilities. By  upgrading our facility and equipment we have created one of the premier  pesticide manufacturing plants in the country. This is an important step  forward for our company and for the Omaha community as well.&rdquo; The  company has been based in Omaha since 1989.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Times;">The  corporate expansion and plant relocation are good news for Omaha,  according to David G. Brown, president and CEO of the Greater Omaha  Chamber of Commerce. &ldquo;We have been working with Sergeant&rsquo;s on this  expansion for more than a year,&rdquo; Brown stated. &ldquo;The employees should be  very proud to be part of a company that is doing so well and Greater  Omaha is elated that Sergeant&rsquo;s chose our community to expand and add  jobs.&rdquo;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Times;">Sergeant&rsquo;s is currently interviewing for a variety of positions.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span>(Orlando, Fla. &ndash; March 1, 2012) In a major step forward to address pet behavior issues, Sergeant&rsquo;s Pet Care Products, Inc. announced today revolutionary new additions to their SENTRY<sup>�</sup> line of pheromone products. The highly effective new products will soon be available at pet specialty retailers nationwide. The products all contain different varieties of pheromones that have been scientifically proven to address various behavior problems. While pheromones, which are chemicals that animals produce and use to communicate information to each other, have been used in products before, this new set of products employs varieties and delivery methods that have not been available before.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span>Pet parents who experience frustration over pet behavior problems like inappropriate marking, digging, scratching, barking and even separation anxiety will be happy to know that strong scientific research is at the core of the products. Scientific testing of the products&rsquo; effectiveness has shown remarkable results as well, according to Dr. John McGlone, a professor and research scientist with several decades of extensive research and development experience in pheromone therapy and animal behavior who has worked with Sergeant&rsquo;s to develop the new pheromone products.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span>Dr. McGlone sees the new products as a major step forward in addressing even some of the toughest behavior problems. &ldquo;Years ago, we began to realize that if we understood how dogs and cats experienced their environments, we might be able to have a much greater impact on their misbehaviors. That research has yielded some truly useful results, especially in the area of pheromone therapies &ndash; using specifically chosen pheromones in ways that address specific behavior problems,&rdquo; he offered.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span>&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve found that some of these pheromones help pets reduce their anxiety and the problem behaviors that can result. Research has shown that specific pheromones are even able to change specific problem behaviors. Once the levels of stress and anxiety are lowered, the underlying cause of the pet&rsquo;s behavior is addressed. This helps lessen and in some cases eliminate the behavior,&rdquo; Dr. McGlone concluded.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span>The SENTRY<sup>�</sup> pheromone product line now includes:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; line-height: normal;"><strong><span>SENTRY� Stop That!</span></strong><strong><sup><span> &trade;</span></sup></strong><strong><span> Noise & Pheromone Spray</span></strong><strong><span>- </span></strong><span>To modify destructive or aggressive behavior, this new product </span><span>for dogs and cats</span><span> combines noise and a specially-developed pheromone mist. The pheromone in the SENTRY<sup>�</sup> Stop That!<sup>&trade;</sup> Spray mimics a natural pheromone that almost immediately calms and refocuses pets to end their negative behavior by reducing their excitability. Unlike other noise-making products that are very temporary, the spray&rsquo;s pheromone mist redirects the pet&rsquo;s attention and behavior. The effect is longer lasting than noise alone and helps the pet not to re-engage in the negative behavior.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; line-height: normal;"><strong><span>SENTRY� Calming Spray- </span></strong><span>The patented pheromone in the calming spray mimics a natural neonatal pheromone that reduces anxiety in a new or stressful environment. In scientific studies, this pheromone has been proven to modify both the behaviors and physiology brought on by stress. Clinical testing showed that the pheromone even reduced pets&rsquo; elevated heart rates when exposed to noises and activities that create anxiety.<span> It is </span>an excellent choice for temporary stressful situations such as trips to the veterinarian, groomer or new visitors. It helps make dogs and cats feel secure and safe at home and on-the-go. <span>SENTRY� Calming Spray <span style="color: black;">will be available in pet specialty retailers in March 2012.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in; line-height: normal;"><strong><span>SENTRY� Calming Diffuser- </span></strong><span>This proven pheromone technology is perfect for calming dogs and cats in a specific area of the home during stressful situations such as thunderstorms or fireworks. It uses a pheromone that mimics the pheromone produced by mother cats and dogs to calm their young to reduce stress and anxiety. SENTRY� Calming Diffusers </span><span>will be available at pet specialty retailers in May 2012.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in; line-height: normal;"><span>�</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; line-height: normal;"><strong><span>SENTRY� Calming Collars</span></strong><span>&ndash; These collars are already sold in pet specialty stores nationwide and are the flagship products in the SENTRY<sup>�</sup> pheromone product line. <span>They are </span>an easy-to-use solution that releases Good Behavior calming pheromones scientifically shown to reduce stress and anxiety and resolve behavior problems in dogs and cats. Because they go where the pet goes, they are an excellent option for active pets whose behavior is induced by anxiety. The cat collar has a breakaway feature for safety when climbing. Collars are effective for 30 days.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span>&ldquo;These products really mark a new era in the human-animal bond,&rdquo; explained Caryn Stichler, vice president of marketing at Sergeant&rsquo;s. &ldquo;According to the ASPCA, more than seven million pets were relinquished to shelters last year, and the majority of those who are relinquishing cite behavior problems they cannot resolve as the reason. The new products are tools that pet parents and trainers have waited for, and we&rsquo;re thrilled that the products can potentially help reduce that huge number of pets going to shelters each year and create a happier home life for both pets and pet parents.&rdquo;</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>(Omaha, Neb. &ndash; March 1, 2012) Sergeant&rsquo;s Pet Care Products, Inc. has unleashed the latest technology available for eliminating fleas and ticks. Sentry<sup>�</sup> Fiproguard<sup>&trade;</sup> MAX and Sergeant&rsquo;s<sup>�</sup> Pronyl OTC<sup>&trade;</sup> MAX are the newest in Sergeant&rsquo;s line up of topical flea and tick treatments. The new products maximize the power of fipronil, the active ingredient used in Frontline<sup>�</sup> products, by combining it with a second active ingredient (cyphenothrin in the dog formula and etofenprox in the cat formula.) These patent-pending, dual-action formulas deliver superior results in killing fleas, ticks and chewing lice.<sup> </sup>They are the first formulas available in retail products that deliver the synergistic protection provided by combining fipronil with a second active ingredient.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Independent clinical tests show that the combination of active ingredients in Fiproguard<sup>&trade;</sup> MAX and Pronyl OTC<sup>&trade;</sup> MAX kill fleas and ticks dramatically faster than Frontline Plus<sup>�</sup> and maintain high levels of efficacy throughout the month.<sup>*</sup></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Fiproguard<sup>&trade;</sup> MAX and Pronyl OTC<sup>&trade;</sup> MAX also significantly reduce pets&rsquo; exposure to flea bites and minimize incidences of flea allergy dermatitis, anemia and diseases spread by fleas. In clinical testing, after application of Frontline<sup>�</sup> Plus for dogs, nearly twice as many fleas bit and took a blood meal from dogs before dying than after application of Fiproguard<sup>&trade;</sup> MAX for dogs or Pronyl OTC<sup>&trade;</sup> MAX .<sup>*</sup></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Clinical test results reveal that Sergeant&rsquo;s new, patent-pending formulas:</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span>-<span>��������� </span></span></span><strong><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Start to act quickly</span></strong><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> - start to kill fleas and ticks in minutes</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span>-<span>��������� </span></span></span><strong><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Provide strong residual killing power</span></strong><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> &ndash; maintain high efficacy in killing fleas and ticks for the duration of the 30 days</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span>-<span>��������� </span></span></span><strong><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Stop the reinfestation cycle</span></strong><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> - by working so quickly, the products prevent reinfestation by fleas, ticks and chewing lice</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span>-<span>��������� </span></span></span><strong><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Reduce other complications</span></strong><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> &ndash; reduce pets&rsquo; exposure to flea bites, a leading cause of flea allergy dermatitis and anemia</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>&ldquo;Fiproguard<sup>&trade;</sup> MAX and Pronyl OTC<sup>&trade;</sup> MAX mark a significant advance in fipronil-based flea and tick products. While fipronil has been a trusted, veterinarian-recommended active ingredient for years, our patent-pending formulas&rsquo; addition of a second active ingredient raises the bar on how quickly and effectively a topical flea and tick product can perform,&rdquo; </span><span>stated Bob Scharf, president and chief executive officer of Sergeant&rsquo;s. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re excited to offer our retail partners these new products and are fully committed to bringing this product to consumers all across the country.&rdquo;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re also very excited to be able to bring these products, which are over-the-counter equivalent to the latest technology introduced in veterinarian-dispensed products, to retail consumers without having to wait for years,&rdquo; added Caryn Stichler, vice president of marketing at Sergeant&rsquo;s. &ldquo;Fiproguard<sup>&trade;</sup> MAX and Pronyl OTC<sup>&trade;</sup> MAX reduce pets&rsquo; exposure to the problems that can come from fleas and ticks, including the bites themselves and the potential for disease. They make life more pleasant for many pets and pet owners.&rdquo;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Both Fiproguard<sup>&trade;</sup> MAX and Pronyl OTC<sup>&trade;</sup> MAX feature four different dose options for dogs, based on weight range, and one formula for cats. Both formulas are approved for use on pets 12 weeks of age and older and are also waterproof.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Fiproguard<sup>&trade;</sup> MAX will be available in pet specialty stores nationwide in early spring 2012. Pronyl OTC<sup>&trade;</sup> MAX will be available in grocery stores and mass retail stores nationwide in early spring 2012.</span></p>

<p><span>(Omaha, Neb. &ndash; November 23, 2011) Tens of thousands of people flocked to enter the Big Pest Knockdown Sweepstakes from Sergeant&rsquo;s Pet Care Products, Inc. and now, the winner has been revealed. Patti Goode of Cherryvale, Kansas (population 2,300) was chosen at random as the winner of the brand new 2012 Volks<a name="_GoBack"></a>wagen<sup>�</sup> Beetle<sup>�</sup>, just in time for the Thanksgiving holidays.</span></p>
<p><span>&ldquo;I cannot believe what amazing timing this was,&rdquo; Goode shared. &ldquo;It was just in the nick of time. My old car was a 1990 Ford Ranger with more than 300,000 miles on it, and it just wasn&rsquo;t safe to drive any more. But now that we have a dependable car, we can actually drive to Dallas to visit my son and his family for the holidays. Winning this car means our entire family can be together this year, and I didn&rsquo;t think that would be possible. I am just so grateful.&rdquo;</span></p>
<p><span>Goode, whose current hometown of Cherryvale has seen high unemployment and population loss during tough economic times, helps to support her family by selling her art in larger cities. &ldquo;The problem was that even when I had paintings to sell, I couldn&rsquo;t take them anywhere because my car just wasn&rsquo;t dependable. But this car has changed all of that! What a perfect thing to celebrate at Thanksgiving,&rdquo; she stated.</span></p>
<p><span>&ldquo;Sergeant&rsquo;s sponsored this sweepstakes to raise awareness about our new topical flea and tick product, SENTRY<sup>�</sup> Fiproguard<sup>&trade;</sup>. It&rsquo;s a generic equivalent to Frontline<sup>�</sup> Top Spot<sup>�</sup>, but is available at a much lower cost &ndash; something everyone can appreciate. The fact that the car ended up with such a deserving new owner was wonderful news for us. Congratulations to Patti and her family,&rdquo; shared Caryn Stichler, Vice President of Marketing for Sergeant&rsquo;s.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 3.75pt;"><span>The car was delivered to Goode&rsquo;s home as a surprise and presented to her by the Fiproguard<sup>&trade;</sup> Flea, star of the online promotional video for the contest. In the same fun spirit, another video was made to share the excitement Goode felt when the car arrived. To help her celebrate, elementary school students, neighbors, city officials and even the city&rsquo;s police and fire rescue officers were on hand when the car was delivered.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">(Omaha, Neb. &ndash; September 1, 2011) With 9.1 percent unemployment, a downgrade in the US credit rating, skittish consumer confidence and inflation 2.8 percent higher than last July, is there any relief for American consumers? Yes, according to an August report in <em>Consumer Reports</em> Magazine. For pet owning households (an impressive 85.2 million US households), there is good news indeed: one of the most costly, and most important, monthly expenses for dogs and cats &ndash; flea and tick control &ndash; is now significantly less expensive.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">For millions of pet owners, Frontline<sup>�</sup> products have been part of their monthly regimen for years. Now, they can have the same active ingredient that they&rsquo;ve enjoyed with Frontline Top Spot<sup>�</sup> for less money with FiproGuard<sup>&trade;</sup>, a new generic equivalent of the Frontline<sup>�</sup> product from Sergeant&rsquo;s Pet Care Products. In addition to monthly savings, one consumer will also walk away with a much greater savings &ndash; by winning a newly redesigned 2012 Volkswagen<sup>�</sup> Beetle<sup>�</sup> in Sergeant&rsquo;s Big Pest Knockdown sweepstakes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">According to the <em>Consumer Reports</em> article, the trend towards generic versions of pet products is helping consumers keep their pets protected from the diseases spread by fleas and ticks for less money. The active ingredient in Frontline Top Spot<sup>�</sup>, fipronil, is now used in the same concentrations in the generic version, FiproGuard. The patent on the veterinary-recommended active ingredient expired in 2010, leaving Sergeant&rsquo;s open to develop the money-saving generic version of the enormously popular and trusted Frontline Top Spot<sup>�</sup> product.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">&ldquo;Like so many of the products we develop, we were aiming to meet consumers&rsquo; needs with FiproGuard<sup>&trade;</sup>,&rdquo; explained Caryn Stichler, vice president of marketing at Sergeant&rsquo;s. &ldquo;They&rsquo;ve known and trusted fipronil to protect their pets from fleas and ticks for years using Frontline<sup>�</sup> products. Now, they can have the same effectiveness and safety profile for less money. Consumers really embrace generics for their pets, just as they embrace generics for themselves and their families. Especially in the current economy, saving significant amounts of money on a health-related item used monthly is great news for all of us.&rdquo;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">In addition to the significant savings consumers can find by buying FiproGuard<sup>&trade;</sup> monthly, they can also register to win a new 2012 Volkswagen<sup>�</sup> Beetle<sup>�</sup> in Sergeant&rsquo;s Big Pest Knockdown sweepstakes. The sweepstakes runs through September 30. No purchase is necessary to enter.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">(Omaha, Neb. &ndash; August 11, 2011) Back-to-school time can be exciting and positive for both students and their parents. For the family pet, however, there is a downside &ndash; more time alone during the day. With children home far less and the house quieter, family pets can easily fall victim to separation anxiety. Sergeant&rsquo;s Pet Care Products, Inc., has a simple, convenient and proven solution that has become a must-have item during back-to-school shopping: the Sentry Good Behavior<sup>&trade;</sup> Pheromone Collar.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">While tricks like leaving the TV or radio on may help alleviate some of the loneliness, the stress of being all alone persists for most pets. &ldquo;Many pets are reassured by the presence of family members more frequently during the summer months,&rdquo; explained Caryn Stichler, vice president of marketing at Sergeant&rsquo;s. &ldquo;When the family routine changes as kids go back to school, this can be very unsettling for them. The separation anxiety they feel can even cause negative behaviors like house soiling, digging and scratching at carpets and furniture or excessive barking or howling. When these behaviors are caused by separation anxiety and stress, a pheromone collar can be the most effective and cost conscious solution.&rdquo;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The Sentry Good Behavior Pheromone Collar, available for both dogs and cats, contains a pheromone that mimics the natural pheromone produced by mother cats and dogs and emitted to calm their young. Dogs and cats respond to this calming pheromone throughout their lives. The pheromone collar has shown to be very effective in reducing stress and anxiety &ndash; proven out by both laboratory results and the experience of thousands of pet owners across the country. It&rsquo;s so effective, in fact, that it&rsquo;s been used in conservation programs in South Africa on African wild dogs and cats.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Because the collar is worn by the pet, it goes where they go and calms them at all times. The pheromones are emitted for 30 days, so a once-a-month collar change is all that is needed. Best of all, because the pheromones are not absorbed into the blood stream, they can be used on pets of all ages and even those who take medications. There is no fear of interaction or overdose and the collars are safe around children.</span></p>
