Oakville, ON – October 30, 2007. (TSX: PTZ) Pethealth Inc. (“Pethealth” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Catrina Skepper, well-known TV personality, former model and long-time pet lover, has agreed to be the host of PawsConnect.com, the Company’s social networking site for pet owners, being launched in November. Ms Skepper will be a regular feature on the PawsConnect.com site through a series of video-streaming segments where she will not only keep visitors up-to-date on the features of the site, but will also cover topics relevant to modern day pet owners. With the launch of the PawsConnect.com site, she will also be maintaining a daily blog.

Ms Skepper’s TV career includes hosting her own series called ‘VIP’ on NBC Super Channel. During her extensive career as a TV host, Ms Skepper has interviewed such celebrities as Sean Connery, Tom Cruise, Jodie Foster, Richard Branson and Lauren Bacall. She currently can be seen on both The Baby Channel and The Hotel Channel.

Her modelling career included commercials for Cadbury’s, Budweiser, Coca-Cola and Gillette. She was also featured in the now famous Greenpeace anti-fur ad campaign in 1985. Her modelling career included print advertising campaigns for Lancôme, Dunhill and Christian Dior and she was regularly featured in such publications as Vogue, Cosmopolitan and Woman’s Journal.

“We are obviously very excited to have Catrina agree to host our site,“ said Mark Warren, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pethealth. “Not only is she a passionate animal lover, but her background and expertise we believe will resonate with our principal demographic of women 30 to 55 years of age. Our own data reveals that a very high percentage of women in this age group coming to the PawsConnect.com site occupy the demographic segments most coveted by retailers and national brands. These women trend above the national average in household income, net worth, college education, and household consumer spending.”

Ms Skepper is married to Count Alessandro Guerrini-Maraldi. The couple have three young children and split their time between London and New York. Catrina is also the proud parent of “Toffee”, her beloved Golden Labrador. For more information on Catrina, visit www.catrinaskepper.com.
