Sanomedics Introduces World's First Non-Contact Pet Thermometer At SuperZoo 2009

Keith Houlihan, president and director of International Sales today announced the introduction of the world’s first non-contact pet thermometer for the SuperZoo 2009 trade show September 15 –17, 2009 at the Mandalay Bay Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada. “Pet owners constantly struggle with understanding the health of their cat or dog. As much as we love our pets, they cannot tell us when they don’t feel well. Touching the nose to see if it is wet or not to indicate health isn’t the best way,” said Keith Houlihan, president. “This is the world’s first non-contact pet thermometer that is easy and simple to use. No probes, no need to insert anywhere in a dog or cat’s body, it is fast and accurate. At Sanomedics, we believe that this innovative pet medical device will have a great impact in keeping dogs and cats well. Pet owners will be able to use this device and decide if medical attention is needed, not based on a warm nose or lethargic animal, but by how you and I decide to seek medical care - by taking a temperature as the first step.” The pet ownership market in the United States is one of the fastest growing markets anywhere in the world, estimated to be at least $53 billion and growing. According to industry experts and various industry trade groups, 63 percent of households own pets. That equates to 71.1 million households in need of medical devices to help them determine the wellness of their pet. A major influencer in this market is the pet owners, who own over 44.8 million dogs and 88.3 million cats as pets. Dogs and cats that are considered to be household members, a valued friend and protector, taken care of by a group of individuals that will spare no expense in the care and safety of their dog or cat. “This pet device will also have a great impact in the practice of Veterinarian medicine,” said Abhishek Shrivastava, Chief Technology Officer. “The ability to accurately and swiftly assess an animal’s temperature and confirm the owner’s suspicion that their pet is ill is invaluable. We see new efficiencies and improved quality of pet care due to this device.” The Sanomedics Pet Thermometer will be on display and available for purchase at the Sanomedics Booth #3427 at the SuperZoo 2009 pet trade show September 15 – 17, Las Vegas, Nevada. Product demonstrations will be ongoing throughout the length of the show. About Sanomedics Sanomedics International Inc (SIMH) manufactures and distributes medical and home health products.
