This is further validation of the benefits of the SANOS product, which has been shown in the market by our success with veterinary hospitals. It is exciting to be part of the most advanced and best possible care for the Military Working Dogs. We look forward to supporting the mission of the Veterinary Treatment Facilities to provide the highest quality of veterinary care and preventive medicine."
