Hancock, MD, Dec. 07, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PetLife Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTC QB: PTLF) (the "Company"), a developer of a new generation of high potency veterinary cancer medications and nutraceuticals for pets, is pleased to announce the results of a product expansion meeting with InnoVision Therapeutics, our partner for the Vitalzul™ FDA/CVM submission.
The market for Pet medicines, supplements, food and treats is ever growing. According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), the U.S. Pet Industry expenditures surpassed $60B in 2015(1).
Breakdown:
Food $23 Billion
Supplies/OTC Medicine $14 Billion
Vet Care $15 Billion
Live animal purchases $2 Billion
Pet Services: grooming & boarding $5 Billion
With this in mind, the management of both companies met to discuss expanding the existing product line with additional natural based products that InnoVision has already formulated and produced for the human market. These products have a veterinarian application and address some of the most common serious medical conditions seen in companion pets. The demand for natural based products continues to rise as pet owners are living longer and serious life threatening diseases become more prevalent. Working with InnoVision may allow PetLife to begin generating revenues ahead of the anticipated FDA/CVM approval of its core product, Vitalzul™.
A small sampling of the initial product line targets:
Hepato-protective (digestive and liver protection)
Antioxidants (improves immune system)
Anti-inflammatory and analgesics
Dr. Salvagno commented “Our focus with PetLife has always been to provide multiple natural based products addressing the most common serious medical conditions in our companion pets. Our increase in product offerings is designed to meet the increasing demand in both the US and European markets. The goal is to have a menu of selective products ready in 2017 for market, prior to the anticipated FDA/CVM approval of Vitalzul™.”
