Pethealth Inc. Launches Web-Based Animal Management System for Animal Rescue Organisations

OAKVILLE, ONTARIO, May 20 (MARKET WIRE) --
Pethealth Inc. (TSX: PTZ) ("Pethealth" or the "Company") today announced
the launch of its PetPoint Lite(TM) animal management system designed
specifically for the needs of Animal Rescue Organisations. PetPoint Lite
will be available free of charge to these organisations across the U.S.
and Canada, in early June.

PetPoint Lite is a streamlined version of PetPoint(R), the most advanced
web-based animal management application used by animal welfare
organisations today. Pethealth created PetPoint in 2005 in response to
the expressed need of animal welfare organisations for an efficient and
intuitive application to run their day-to-day operations. As a hosted
application, these organisations can reduce or eliminate completely their
IT and IT-related infrastructure costs.

PetPoint allows these organisations to better manage and care for the
inventory of adoptable animals in their facilities from the point of
intake through to adoption. Since 2005, many new modules, reports and
applications have been added to support the growing needs of large animal
welfare organisations. This success has led to the development of
PetPoint Lite for the more limited needs of smaller organisations and
animal rescue organisations in particular.

"The additional modules and reports we had added to PetPoint since its
introduction in 2005 led to a need for us to develop a scaled-down
version for smaller organisations and rescue groups," said Steve Zeidman,
Chief Technology Officer of Pethealth Inc. "Animal rescue organisations
have fewer animals in their care and generally have less complex
requirements than larger animal welfare organisations and therefore we
believe this version will be more suitable to their needs."

PetPoint Lite allows the full benefit of an online animal welfare
management system, as well as the operational advantages designed
specifically for animal rescue, including:

- the registration and intake of animals;

- the management of medical data;

- the automatic registration of microchips with the 24PetWatch microchip
system;

- the transfer of pet data to other PetPoint organisations;

- automatic uploads of information about adoptable pets to national pet
adoption web sites, giving immediate access to millions of potential pet
adopters;

- online search tool to allow organisations to add real-time search
functionality to their web sites.

To date, PetPoint has been licensed by more than 900 animal welfare
organisations, including animal control agencies, humane societies, SPCAs
and rescue groups in both the U.S. and Canada. Pethealth estimates that
approximately 4 in 10 animal adoptions in the U.S. are now managed
through the PetPoint platform. In 2007, animal welfare organisations
running the PetPoint application accounted for nearly 1.1 million animal
intakes and over 375,000 adoptions.
