77 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE JULY 2019 PETHEALTH It was in 2003 that the company expanded its business beyond insurance to include lost pet recovery services under its North American brand 24PetWatch. For these services, Pethealth is a leading reseller of RFID microchip technology and, as part of its lost pet recovery services in North America, it has about 14.5 million microchipped pets registered in the 24PetWatch Lost Pet Recovery Database, and reunites over 3000 lost pets to their pet parents each month. Pethealth introduced its cloud-based shelter management application, PetPoint, in 2005 to animal shelters across North America. With exclusive data management and reporting capabilities, PetPoint assists in increasing operational efficiency, managing workflow, and reducing costs. This software is now used by over 1,300 animal shelters. Today, Pethealth is the leading provider of management software to animal welfare organizations across North America. In 2009, Pethealth further expanded its offerings with the release and launch of Petango through Petango.com. This was the first online search tool for pet adoptions exclusively featuring a live feed of adoptable shelter pets. Integrated with PetPoint, adoptable pet profiles are automatically populated on Petango.com when the animal data is entered into PetPoint. With nearly two million unique visitors to the site per month, the time between an animal’s arrival in a shelter and its adoption is reduced which, in turn, minimizes shelter operating costs. .com
