New platform improves workflow efficiency, strengthens clinical confidence, and supports Zomedica’s long-term growth strategy

 Zomedica Corp. (OTCQB:ZOMDF) (« Zomedica » or the « Company »), an animal health company offering innovative point-of-care diagnostic and therapeutic device products for equine and companion animals, today announced the commercial launch of the VETGuardian PLUS monitor, the next generation of its Zero Touch™ patient monitoring platform for veterinary clinics.

The VETGuardian PLUS monitor builds on the success of the original VETGuardian^® system while adding new features that improve ease of use, workflow efficiency, and access to patient data. The system allows veterinary teams to continuously monitor patients without physical contact, helping reduce animal stress while improving staff safety and operational efficiency.

According to Research and Markets, the global veterinary monitoring market is expected to reach approximately $720 million for 2025 and grow at a compound annual growth rate of 8% through 2029. Zomedica believes demand is being driven by higher pet healthcare spending, increased use of telemedicine, and growing expectations for real-time patient monitoring. The launch of the VETGuardian PLUS monitor strengthens Zomedica’s leadership in this expanding category by delivering practical innovation that drives measurable benefits for veterinary professionals and their patients.

Why It Matters to Investors

The launch of the VETGuardian PLUS system represents an evolution of an established monitoring platform rather than a new product introduction. By enhancing usability and workflow efficiency, the platform supports broader adoption, potential upgrade opportunities for existing customers, and deeper customer engagement over time. Management believes this approach reinforces Zomedica’s strategy of building scalable product platforms that can support sustainable growth and long-term shareholder value.

The VETGuardian PLUS monitor introduces a built-in display that shows real-time vital signs directly at the kennel, giving clinicians immediate access to patient information. The system also allows remote viewing across the clinic, providing flexibility and helping teams respond more quickly to changes in patient condition. This dual-view capability elevates the clinical experience by enabling faster access to patient information, reducing workflow interruptions, and strengthening decision-making confidence.

Key enhancements of the VETGuardian PLUS monitor include:

• A more robust design that supports consistent vital sign readings
• Live video monitoring with night vision and thermal imaging
• Flexible mounting options for cages, runs, and other housing environments

« These enhancements are based directly on feedback from veterinary professionals, » said Scott Ijaz, Senior Product Manager at Zomedica. « The VETGuardian PLUS system reflects what clinics need today-greater reliability, easier access to patient data, and tools that fit seamlessly into daily workflows. »

Larry Heaton, Chief Executive Officer of Zomedica, added, « The VETGuardian PLUS system is an important step in the evolution of our monitoring platform. By improving usability and workflow efficiency, we are strengthening customer adoption and reinforcing our strategy of building scalable platforms that support long-term growth and shareholder value. »

The VETGuardian PLUS monitor maintains the core benefits of Zero Touch monitoring, including reduced stress for animal patients, continuous oversight, and improved safety for veterinary staff. These benefits help clinics operate more efficiently while maintaining high standards of care.

« I believe every clinic can benefit from having a VETGuardian PLUS monitor, » said Julie Clark, DVM. « The ability to monitor patients continuously without disturbing them is a meaningful improvement in patient care. »

With this launch, Zomedica is setting a new benchmark for veterinary monitoring by advancing clinical utility, improving workflow reliability, and ensuring veterinary teams have the tools they need to deliver the highest standard of care.
