Kane Biotech Launches silkstem™ Anti-Itch Shampoo at the Global Pet Expo

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Feb. 26, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kane Biotech Inc. (TSX-V:KNE) (the “Corporation” or “Kane Biotech”), a biotechnology company engaged in the research, development and commercialization of technologies and products that prevent and remove microbial biofilms, today announced the launch of its silkstem^TM anti-itch shampoo (www.silkstempets.com) at the Global Pet Expo taking place on February 26-28, 2020 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. 

silkstem^TM is a scientifically formulated anti-itch shampoo for dogs and cats that contains coactiv+^TM, Kane’s patented anti-biofilm formulation, to soothe irritation, itching, redness and dryness associated with common skin conditions. silkstem^TM is the first and only pet shampoo on the market in an aerosol can, making it significantly easier to apply than other pet shampoos.

“The launch of silkstem^TM is an important milestone for Kane Biotech as it’s our second animal health product line and we believe it will generate the same amount of interest as our bluestem™ line of oral care products,” said Marc Edwards, CEO of Kane Biotech. “We believe pet parents will appreciate the skin health benefits that silkstem^TM  provides, along with its quick spray foam application that makes it easier to give their pets a bath.”

Kane Biotech will be located in booth 4151 and will be accepting orders for its silkstem^TM as well as its bluestem^TM oral care line of products from U.S. retailers. Kane Biotech is also launching silkstem^TM on Kickstarter on March 4^th, 2020.
