SEOUL, South Korea, July 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Petnow Inc. announced the launch of its award-winning Petnow app in Australia and New Zealand.

We are eager to welcome new partners in Australia and New Zealand following our app launch."

The Petnow app is available for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play in both Australia and New Zealand. Pet identification service provided by the app are completely free for pet owners, with no purchases or subscriptions required. This service offers additional protection for pet owners without the need for dedicated devices, while community members without pets can also contribute by helping reunite lost animals.
