The mission of SPCA International is to raise awareness of the abuse of animals to a global level, to teach and foster good pet parenting practices, and to promote spay and neuter programs around the world with the goal of eradicating the need to euthanize healthy and adoptable companion animals. www.SPCA.com also provides a global information and referral resource to animal guardians and advocates throughout the world to those who seek a shelter or wish to adopt a shelter animal.

The SPCA International Best of the Best Award is designed to recognize products, services, and programs of the highest quality that offer exceptional value. Each company receiving the Best of the Best award was nominated and approved by SPCA International's panel of animal experts. Best of the Best awards are bestowed to leading products in several categories including Excellence in Pet Behavior Training, Excellence in Pet Carriers, Excellence in Cat Litter, Excellence in Pet Insurance and Excellence in Pet Nutrition.

Pet Ecology Brands, Inc. develops and manufactures technologically advanced pet products that address environmental concerns and meet the lifestyle of today's pet marketplace. The company's Perfect Litter is a revolutionary patented cat litter that destroys urine odor, clumps, and is earth-friendly, while its K-9 Fat Free Dog Treats(TM) are the first fat-free treats that meet the standards of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and offer dog owners an effective means to provide their pets with a non-fat tasty treat. Vit-A-Dog Fat Free Treats (soon to be available) are enriched with vitamins D & E, and will be available in chicken, beef and liver flavors. Other Pet Ecology Brands products planned for launch include the first fat-free cat treat, a low-sodium and low-fat microwavable gourmet cat dinner; and two cat litter product line extensions to help indicate feline pregnancy and diabetes.

Perfect Litter Alert is the first patented cat litter that can extend the life of your cat through its non toxic formula and exclusive sickness indicator for FLUTD (Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease). Potential fatal Illnesses like FLUTD are the #1 reason why cats are taken to the vet each year. Perfect Litter Alert was especially created to counter the problems resulting from clay-based litters - from health concerns that affect your cat's life to environmental issues that aid in the destruction of landfills around the world. Easy-to-use, Perfect Litter Alert is ultra lightweight (up to 70% lighter than regular litter) yet absorbs four times more than most other cat litters making it last longer and it destroys odors on contact. Using a unique and safe flushable enzyme-based system that clumps easily, tracks less and is dust-free, the product neutralizes cat odors on contact and leaving homes odor-free.

"Perfect Litter reflects the highest levels of product excellence required for receiving a 'Best of the Best' Award. We congratulate Pet Ecology for having developed such an impressive product," said Stephanie Scroggs, SPCA Director of Communications.

Said Ralph Steckel President and CEO of Pet Ecology Brands: "We are honored to have received this significant award for Perfect Litter from the SPCA, which became aware of our product as a result of the national television and Internet advertising that began this past fall".

Since this launch only a few months ago, tens of thousands of orders have been shipped to customers and resulted in a very positive response to our product from cat owners. The same awareness that captured the attention of the SPCA is what we plan on achieving within food and drug chains. We expect that to happen very soon."
