Signs Licensing Agreement with Petnique for cinch-it® pet collar
Revolutionary dog collar is waterproof and micro-adjustable

Knoxville, TN – July 9, 2008 – Radio Systems Corporation, maker of the PetSafe, Invisible Fence, SportDOG, Innotek, Guardian and Staywell brands, has entered into a licensing agreement with Seattle-based company Petnique to manufacture and sell the cinch-it® pet collar.  Per the agreement, Petnique has granted an exclusive patent license to Radio Systems Corporation to manufacture and sell the product.

The product will now be named the “cinch-it pet collar by PetSafe”. This new pet product is the world’s first injection molded, micro-adjustable and waterproof pet collar of its kind. Developed to address the need for a perfect fit, the patented collar is also hypoallergenic and easy to use.  Made from durable TPE (thermoplastic elastomers), a material much easier on a pet’s skin than nylon collars, the cinch-it pet collar does not absorb odors. 

The collar adjusts in four-millimeter increments, allowing for a more customized fit than traditional collars, which adjust by the inch. The collar locks into place in one motion, using the “ratchet-and-pawl technology” used in the snowboard industry. A one-button quick-release mechanism is held secure by a safety lock. The excess strap fits under the collar, leaving no loose end.  The collar comes in 6 fun colors – jet black, ice blue, lime green, so pink, fire engine red, and orange peel.
