Integrated Environmental Technologies Ltd. announced that it received approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to market a new Excelyte product called Excelyte VET which can be used to prevent Canine distemper. Canine distemper is highly contagious, resistant to most disinfectants, and is the leading cause of infectious disease deaths in dogs worldwide. The new product registration (EPA Registration #82341-4) also allows the company to market Excelyte VET to prevent the spread of Canine parvovirus and Bordetella bronchiseptica.

Canine distemper and Canine parvoviruses affect respiratory tracks and gastrointestinal and central nervous systems of dogs, causing vomiting, diarrhea and symptoms of encephalitis in the brain during later stages.
