Lots of new products in the UK

New website Sinclair Animal & Household Care Ltd has completely overhauled its website, giving it a brand new, modern look. The company has made a significant investment in developing the new website, making it easy for both consumers and the trade to navigate. The new site incorporates lots of information not only on the "CANAC" and "King British" product ranges but also lots of useful information for fish keepers and pet owners alike. Hall 4, Stand E-60 Car safety In the event of an accident, a loose dog in a car can turn into a potentially lethal missile, hurtling forwards, possibly hitting and injuring front seat passengers and crashing through the windscreen. Hi-Craft has developed a unique dog car harness that clips simply onto the car's existing seatbelts and ensures that the dog is extremely comfort-able yet safely restrained. The dog can sit, turn and lie comfortably but in the event of an accident it is held safely in the back seat, helping to avoid injury to both the dog and passengers. This dog car harness is specially designed to absorb the dog's weight using strong webbing and a wide padded front piece. Hall 4, Stand G-72 For a cleaner environment "Eco Clean" from Reilor provides an innovative biological disposal system. A purpose-designed disposal bin housing and integrally stored scoop - both made from recycled materials - are provided for owners to collect their dog's waste and place it in the bin. By adding Reilor's special "Eco Clean" solution, the waste is quickly converted into a highly effective, odour-free garden fertiliser that is kind to plants. The bin is easy to install, has a large capacity and incorporates a child-resistant locking device. Hall 4, Stand G-71 The new age of aquariums B.O.S.S. Aquariums, a well- known manufacturer and supplier of custom-built large or unusually shaped fish tanks, will be launching an entirely new and unique range of wall-mounted novelty fish tanks. Available in a series of surrounds, which can be interchangeable to suit different settings, these highly unusual fishbowls could prove to be a much-needed replacement for the traditional "astronaut helmet" bowls that goldfish often find themselves having to live in. In addition to manufacturing a full range of quality tanks in standard sizes, the company is also unveiling a new range of hoods and superior pine cabinets custom-designed to house the pump and filtration clutter traditionally associated with fish keeping. Hall 4, Stand G-96 For the perfect pond "EcoPure Pond System" from biotechnology specialists LexZander is making its debut at this year's Glee. This range of natural pond treatments has been specifically designed to be simple to use. "EcoPure Pond System" takes its inspiration from nature, with a process of isolation, combination and enrichment of completely natural, beneficial micro-organisms. It comprises four products: "EcoStart", to seed and rapidly mature biological filters and prepare for stock increase; "PondRegulator" to clarify and maintain high water quality; "BioClarity" to inhibit algae and blanket weed and "Health & Vitality", a probiotic treatment to protect fish and naturally promote good health. Hall 4, Stand H-33 Automatic feeder Reilor presents "petPod", an automatic feeding unit. It utilises sophisticated and accurate digital timing technology to provide a new degree of convenience and real peace of mind for pet owners. The precision of the digital timer ensures that pets have access to their food at predetermined times. It is also ideal for regulating the administration of medicine, if required. Hall 4, Stand G-71 Attractive products for dogs and cats Hi-Craft has recently introduced the high-quality "Dog Design" range featuring beautiful hand-made products to cater for this ever-increasing market. It's an exclusive range of items that stand out from the crowd: the beautiful dog and cat collars and harnesses adorned with Swarovski crystals and precious stones, Native-American-style dog attire decorated with bones and pearls and cheerful stars and stripes designs are all eye-catching and original. The "Dog Design" range also contains new and unique concepts such as the name collar: customers buy individual gold or diamante letters that attach to the smart leather collar and create their dog's name. Hall 4, Stand G-72 For healthy guinea pigs Supreme Petfoods has designed a guinea pig food that eliminates the common problem of selective feeding. "Science Selective Guinea Pig" is a nutritious, complete and balanced, high fibre biscuit, which not only combats selective feeding, but also helps prevent obesity and dental problems. Hall 4, Stand H-60 Modern filter systems for the garden pond Evolution Aqua is a manufacturer of filtration systems for koi and large fish ponds. Its proven technology has now been reduced in size to cater for smaller and mid-size garden ponds. Its new unit "The Eazy-Pod" will act as a pre-filter on any existing or new pond system, service a skimmer, act as a final polisher on any pond, work off a mid-water feed to assist in polishing or bio activity, or even service a small pond or quarantine area as a complete filter. Relying on entrapment and settlement of all particles and debris, the "Eazy" has an air cleaning system which is highly effective and means that by turning one switch complete cleaning is achieved with no wet or dirty hands involved. Hall 4, Stand J-12 Funny food for rodents Benelux NV introduces the new "Funny Premium Food" range for rodents. It's a complete and balanced food offered in varieties for rabbits, dwarf rabbits, hamsters, ferrets, chinchillas, guinea pigs and mice/rats/ gerbils. All nine sorts are naturally rich. The quality of the food, the visually appealing mix of unique ingredients and the packaging makes "Funny Premium Food" very attractive. Besides the unique ingredients, it's also enriched with "Omega 3" and the packaging contains a sight window. Hall 4, Stand B-76 New for puppies The Company of Animals presents three styles of "Kong" puppy toys and a new "Kong Stuff'n Paste" made especially for puppies. The toys are specifically designed for puppies between the ages of 2 to 9 months; however they can also be ideal for older dogs that may have weak teeth. All "Kong" puppy toys have a special teething formula which makes the rubber softer for those young brittle teeth, but are made from the same quality rubber as the original red "Kong". Ideal to use during a puppy's teething stage (2 to 9 months) and for stuffing with food and treats to keep puppy happy and stimulated when left alone. The toys are also designed to be used with "Kong Stuff'n Puppy Paste", a chicken flavour treat made especially for puppies. "Puppy Teething Stick" (picture) is fantastic for teething puppies to chew on. It has specially designed grooves, which close over teeth and gently clean and condition both teeth and gums. It's available in sizes small, medium and large, promotes good chewing behaviour, helps clean teeth and condition gums and is great to use in conjunction with "Kong Stuff'n Puppy Paste". Hall 4, Stand H-61 Changes at Interpet Having completed almost a full trading year since its acquisition by America's primary pet distributor, Central Garden and Pet Company, Interpet is already shaping its future.

The set comes complete with lighting and filter. An aquarium cabinet is optionally available. Hall 4, Stand E-70 Train that puppy The "House Training Line" from The Company of Animals is a concept in training that helps to suppress a dog's undesirable behaviour without the need for confrontation or misunderstanding. Most pet dogs crave attention and easily learn behaviour that makes their owners focus upon them. This behaviour may be desirable, such as sitting or giving a paw. However, it may just as easily be unwanted behaviour like chewing or climbing on furniture. The "House Training Line" can be adapted to virtually any situation where there is a need to eliminate unwanted behaviour. This non-confrontational technique enables the dog to be trained in a positive way, without the owner losing his temper or spoiling his relationship with his best friend. The lightweight indoor training lead is available in red, blue and black and has a length of 2.5 m. Hall 4, Stand H-61 Stylish accessories Pucci Petwear presents a wide range of new products, featuring the following highlights: "Pucci Pac-a-Macs", stylish and unique raincoats that fold up into their own pouch and fit neatly into every handbag. "Crocodile Rocks" are collars and leads. The emerald green collar is not only the colour to be seen in but accompanied with a croc style to get your puppy rocking. The collars have sparkling jewels encrusted on the buckle and running down the centre of the collar. Leads to match are a must. The "Pucci Parka" coat (picture) is for the dog looking for a bit of Liam Gallagher style - it's super stylish and retro cool. The hood is removable as well as the arms, creating a body warmer. Hall 4, Stand D-66 No mess when travelling with your cat Chrystal Clear Pet Products presents a disposable cat litter kit. It's ideal for when travelling with the cat, taking the cat on holiday and also for regular use at home or flat. The kit comes complete with a scoop and ten days supply of "Ultimate" cat litter.

Practical transport boxes The Italian company Stefanplast presents the new "Gulliver" range, a series of transport boxes for dogs and cats. They are available in seven sizes, easy to clean and made of non-toxic materials. They also conform to IATA regulations for airline transport. Stefanplast is also exhibiting the company's other ranges comprising dog kennels, cat litter trays, pet beds and bowls. Hall 4, Stand A-76 Innovative aquarium products German company JBL presents a full range of aquarium products:
The food ring "Novo Sta-tion" reduces water pollution. As soon as it is in stalled, the pollution in the aquarium from nitrogen compounds decreases. This is due to the fact that any uneaten food floating around in the aquarium does not disappear into the decoration and has to be broken down by bacteria. "Osmosis 120" is the perfect solution for water preparation. The unit produces 120 litres of pure water per day. It is equipped with a carbon filter that removes chlorine as well as a fine filter to retain particles, protecting the main membrane. "ProfloraStart" is a perfect start for plants. Three balanced fertiliser components make it the guarantor of healthy plant growth. Available as "Proflora Start 80" for 50-80 l aquariums with 3 kg ground fertiliser and as "ProfloraStart 200" for 100-200 l aquariums with 6 kg ground fertiliser. Each size is equipped with 100 ml "Ferropol" liquid fertiliser and 10 ml "Daily" fertiliser. "Floaty mini" is the first and only magnetic pane cleaner for plastic aquariums. Plastic panes of up to 4 mm thickness can now be cleaned without scratching. And the part inside the aquarium floats to the surface as soon as it loses magnetic contact. Hall 4, Stand F-61 New food for small animals Wagg Foods will be launching a new complete rabbit food called "Bunny Time". The product is packed in 1.5 and 15 kg bags and has additional fibre in the form of hay and grass incorporated into the product to make it a complete diet. The product is produced using the unique "Whole Health Nutrition System", which combines vitamins and minerals, added fibre and yeasts, Omega fatty acids and natural anti-oxidants to help improve the pet's immune system, skin condition and digestion. The extra special ingredients such as real carrot and puffed rice give the product an exceptionally appealing visual appearance and offer the rabbit exciting variety. Hall 4, Stand A-30 Various kinds of litters Lithuanian company UAB Tavilta produces natural mineral substances for cats and other pets. The litter is free of synthetic or chemical materials. One of advantages of the products is their ability to absorb immediately moisture and odours that appear on the litter. Moistened particles clump into a lump. Particles of the mineral substance stick to it and prevent the odours from spreading to the environment. The moistened litter may be removed and the remaining dry part of the litter is still usable, so a considerable amount of litter is saved. The company also presents mineral sand for birds and aquarium stones. Hall 3A, Stand T-7 A safe means of transport The company Precious2U will be previewing its latest innovation in cat care, the unique "Dual-Purpose KatKabin".
