The Hartz Mountain Corporation Acquires Assets of Pet Toy Maker

Secaucus, NJ (May 2, 2005) - The Hartz Mountain Corporation has reached an agreement with My Pet Inc., a designer and maker of creative pet toy products.

The announcement was made today by Robert Devine, President and CEO of The Hartz Mountain Corporation, along with Mr. Ray Zamora, owner of My Pet. Under this agreement, Hartz will purchase the assets of My Pet Inc., and Mr. Zamora will design products exclusively for Hartz.

"This acquisition will greatly enhance our signature line of pet toys for birds, dogs and other pets. My Pet has utilized its expertise to create a line of stimulating and fun toys that we look forward to introducing and expanding," said Mr. Devine in announcing this new agreement.

My Pet has been focused on developing and selling bird and dog toys through the Pet Specialty distribution and catalogue channels. They have seen great success using a patented rubber production process and a trademark bright-colored splash paint design. The rubber involved in the manufacture of these products creates a toy that provides a unique feel and chewing experience.
