Oragenics, Inc. Presents Teddy's Pride Oral Care Probiotics At The 2011 Global Pet Expo
TAMPA, Fla. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Florida-based biopharmaceutical company Oragenics, Inc. (OTCBB: ORNI) (www.oragenics.com)
will be exhibiting the company's Teddy's Pride oral care probiotics for
cats and dogs (www.oragenics.com)
at the Global Pet Expo, the world's largest trade show for pet
retailers, in Orlando, FL, March 16-18.
ProBiora3, the active ingredient in Teddy's Pride, was developed by
Oragenics' Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Jeffrey D. Hillman, D.M.D.,
Ph.D., during more than 25 years of research which began at the
Harvard-affiliated Forsyth Institute in Boston and continued at the
University of Florida. This technology has only recently become
available to the general public in Teddy's Pride, along with a line of
oral care probiotic products for the entire family. The ProBiora3 blend
of beneficial bacteria contains three strains of probiotics that help
maintain a healthy microbial balance in the mouth. ProBiora3 is made in
the USA in an FDA-registered facility. All ProBiora3-containing products
are 100% natural.
Teddy's Pride oral care probiotics are specifically formulated for cats
and dogs of all sizes and ages. Teddy's Pride kills harmful, bad-breath
causing bacteria and adds the beneficial bacteria that naturally thrive
in the mouth. This innovative new oral care product naturally freshens
pets' breath while gently and naturally whitening teeth.
According to the American Pet Product Association, the pet industry is
one of the few that has consistently experienced strong growth for the
past several years. Teddy's Pride is an innovative addition to the $47
billion dollar pet industry. It is a convenient, reliable and affordable
oral care product for the 71.4 million US households that own a pet.
"The Global Pet Expo is a wonderful place to meet with fellow American
Pet Products Association members and pet industry experts, " said Gerry
David, Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing for Oragenics.
"Attracting thousands of pet professionals from all over the world,
Global Pet Expo is an ideal place to exhibit this unique product for
dogs and cats."
