OAKVILLE, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Oct. 31, 2012) - Pethealth Inc. (TSX:PTZ) ("Pethealth" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a donation of $14,500 to the American Breast Cancer Foundation ("ABCF"), its third through its 'Recover a Pet, Uncover a Cure' campaign. The campaign was developed to help the fight against breast cancer and to raise awareness of the MiniChip, launched in January of this year and offered exclusively in North America through the Company's 24PetWatch brand. Through an agreement signed with the not-for-profit organization in January, a portion of the purchase price of every MiniChip sold in the United States will be donated each quarter to support ABCF programs. With this most recent donation for the Company's third quarter, donations to the American Breast Cancer Foundation now total over $44,000 year to date.

Leveraging the power of the color pink which is internationally associated with breast health and cancer research, 'Recover a Pet, Uncover a Cure' is now an international campaign through agreements signed with the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation - Ontario Chapter and the United Kingdom's Pink Ribbon Foundation and is available to over 5,800 organizations across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Top contributors to the campaign through MiniChip sales in the United States include Independence Animal Services, Kansas City Animal Health & Welfare, Pitt County Animal Shelter, and the Humane Society of Henderson County.

Offered exclusively through the Company's 24PetWatch brand, the Allflex manufactured MiniChip is an innovative new microchip identification technology suitable for all companion animals but designed for small animals such as cats, kittens, and small breed dogs. At one third the size of standard microchip technology, it offers a far less invasive form of permanent identification with all the same protective benefits.
