Healthcare Through Cannabis for the Family Pet
TORONTO, Sept. 13, 2018 /CNW/ - Cannvas MedTech Inc.
("Cannvas" or the "Company") (CSE: MTEC, Frankfurt: 3CM), a leading business technology
company in the cannabis space, is pleased to introduce its second cannabis-centric educational platform, aimed at healthcare and
wellness through cannabis for furry family friends. Built on the same infrastructure as Cannvas.Me, Cannvas.PET will be a
scalable and comprehensive solution for the global pet community offering interactive tools and research-backed content to
audiences who wish to learn about pet healthcare through cannabis.
"As pet owners search for natural alternatives to improve the health of their pet, more and more are looking to medical
cannabis only to find a lack of quality information," said Steve Loutskou, Chief Operating
Officer, Global Markets, Cannvas MedTech Inc. "We are leveraging our existing infrastructure to launch an online educational
portal targeted at the large and growing market for cannabis pet products. Cannvas.PET will be a leading source of alternative
healthcare for all manner of pets, providing owners with information and education regarding the various treatments available.
While supporting a healthy and happy lifestyle for pets, it will stand independent from licensed producers and other entities to
ensure unbiased information is free from outside influences."
Similar to the Cannvas.Me education platform, Cannvas.PET will be a free-to-use online platform using machine-learning
algorithms and artificial intelligence to contextualize and adapt to users of the platform, ensuring the content they are served
remains geographically and personally relevant to them. The site will feature innovative tools such as educational learning
modules and an interactive service to educate pet owners with specific concerns about the different strains available.
With the legalization of cannabis on October 17, 2018 Canadian pet owners will have the
opportunity to use medical-grade cannabis for the health care of their pets. Similar to the human medical cannabis marketplace,
high-quality non-combustible cannabis products can be a natural alternative in supporting the overall health and well-being of
pets. Pets suffer just like humans and with the growing demand for alternative treatments there is a need for a trusted source of
medical cannabis treatments to help with pet-related ailments. Research on CBD treats and oils has shown promise in many pet
ailments like phobias, digestive problems inflammation and pain.
In Canada, there are approximately 16 million cats and dogs with almost two-thirds of
households owning a pet. Pet owners are increasingly treating pets as an extension of their family, driving annual pet-related
expenditures to in excess of $5 billion in Canada and almost
US$70 billion in the United States.
With over 350 million pets globally, there is a sizeable market opportunity for cannabis products and supporting technologies
like the scalable Cannvas.PET educational platform.
