DONGGUAN, China and PLANO, Texas, April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dogness (International) Corporation ("Dogness" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: DOGZ), a developer and manufacturer of a comprehensive line of Dogness-branded, OEM and private label pet products, today announced its financial results for the six months ended December 31, 2025.

Mr. Silong Chen, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented: "The first half of fiscal 2026 presented challenges as U.S. tariff policies temporarily impacted our overall revenue and margins. Despite these headwinds, our core traditional pet products category demonstrated strong resilience, growing 14.6% year-over-year driven by increased global demand and loyal customer orders."

"To mitigate external pressures, we took proactive steps to optimize operations, successfully reduced our general and administrative expenses by over 20%. At the same time, we strategically invested in targeted marketing to expand our brand footprint and capture future market share."

"Looking ahead, our outlook remains highly optimistic. We are accelerating our R&D initiatives to introduce a new generation of intelligent, eco-friendly pet products that meet evolving consumer demands. Backed by a robust portfolio of over 200 patents and a fully integrated supply chain, Dogness is well-positioned to navigate these temporary trade fluctuations, return to sustainable growth, and deliver long-term shareholder value."
