As he developed his idea, the safety and comfort of the pet were always a top priority. He also recognized that if the system did not do a good job of washing the dog or cat, their owners and pet professionals would not want to use it. Finally, after years of collaboration with both engineers and veterinarians, he achieved the right performance and technical characteristics.

In 1997 and 1998, Mr. Navalon obtained European Patent # 861590 and U.S. Patent # 5724918 for his invention. However, he was unsuccessful in finding a solid partner company that could help with the long-term manufacture, sales, and distribution of his revolutionary new product. That was until he met the people of Netwash Group.

In December of 2001, Mr. Navalon agreed to sell the property rights to the European and US patents to the Netwash Group. The Netwash group agreed to take on all responsibilities for the manufacture, sales, and distribution; and the payment of royalties per-unit to Mr. Navalon for all sales of the system known today as the PetShine.

Today, our systems are being introduced and sold around the world, and there are currently thousands of dogs and cats being washed every month by our product - from China to Belgium to Mexico. Mr. Navalon continues his ties with his original invention through consultation with, and receipt of royalty payments from the Netwash Group.
