A NEW LOOK FOR AN OLD FAVORITE
You can't teach an old dog new tricks but you can give him a facelift!

Garden Grove, CA (August, 2004) _ Venus Laboratories, Inc., the parent company of PETASTIC™, is pleased to announce a new look for its products. Beginning mid-August, 2004, the best selling stain and odor removal formulation will be packaged as well as it functions.

The old sheepdog in the logo has retired and been replaced by his younger, hipper Yellow Labrador cousin and the product name has been enlarged and prominently centered to make recognition easier for the consumer. The tuxedo cat remains along with the original fantastic PETASTIC™ product formulation.

Known previously as Nature°s Miracle®, PETASTIC™ is the brand known best for its odor and stain fighting prowess and money-back guarantee. The formulation of PETASTIC™ is the most effective enzymatic pet stain and odor remover on the market; its secret is an enzyme recipe that destroys the molecular structure of the unpleasantness associated with pet accidents without damaging the surface of the carpets, floors or fabrics.

Detailed information about the °new face° of PETASTIC™ may be obtained by contacting Kelly Vlahakis-Hanks (Kelly@Petastic.com) at 800.841.3100 ext. 227. JPG images of the new labels are available upon request.
