Redefine Pet Odor Control into Indoor Air Health for Pet Families
Tony Zhang is the founder of PETFAMILY. His relationship with pets began at the age of seven and shaped a core belief: if pets give humans unconditional love, we have a responsibility to provide them with clean, healthy air. For Tony, odor is more than a nuisance—it is a health issue. The main culprit is ammonia, a gas that can irritate the respiratory system of both pets and people, as recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Most products on the market simply mask smells or absorb them temporarily; they do not continuously break down ammonia at its source, largely because it is technically challenging. Tony chose to tackle this problem head-on. He invested heavily in research and built a world-class materials science team, including postdoctoral researchers from Sorbonne University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, as well as an environmental materials expert from the Engineering Academy of Japan. After years of development, PETFAMILY created a Page 3 of 5 proprietary material that decomposes ammonia instead of covering it up. Independent testing shows up to 82% ammonia removal, with no added fragrance and longlasting performance. Today, PETFAMILY partners with leading companies across North and South America and Japan, redefining odor control as indoor air health for pet families, while advancing sustainability and helping to reduce microplastic pollution.
