The new distributors will focus on expanding growth in Europe and Asia, including in particular Taiwan and Russia, both key strategic markets with strong underlying trends. During the six months ended December 31, 2020, Dogness' products were sold in 25 countries. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, export sales accounted for 47.5% of total sales, while Chinese domestic sales accounted for 52.5% of total sales.

Silong Chen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dogness, commented, "We are excited to add three additional highly qualified and connected distributors, as we focus on further accelerating our sales growth and diversification worldwide. We continue to benefit, along with the broader pet care industry, from increased pet ownership and spending, strong support for both online and traditional retailers, and a desire among pet parents to provide their loved ones with a healthier, safer, more enriching and fulfilling life."

Mr. Chen continued, "Dogness has made incredible improvements on everyday pet tasks from eating and drinking to safety monitoring and tracking by leveraging the latest in communications, AI, sensors and other proprietary developments. We are ideally positioned in this rising market with our innovative intelligent pet products and our more traditional, evergreen pet care products and expect to drive increased sales across the key markets we serve as we move forward."
