(OTC QB: PTLF), announced today a partnership with Lumleian, LLC, a life sciences advisory firm based in Boston, MA. Working together, PetLife and Lumleian will seek to advance PetLife's clinical and commercial pipeline in the United States, including securing capital to develop its lead product, Vitalzul™, for the treatment of various veterinary oncology indications.

Dr. Salvagno, CEO of PetLife Pharmaceuticals, noted, “Biopharmaceutical companies like PetLife need an experienced partner to assist in the optimization of our development strategy and enhancement of shareholder value by market identification and capital acquisition. After evaluating several potential partners, we are confident that our choice of Lumleian will serve the company well. Lumleian’s experience and track record with similar companies gives us the additional firepower we need to move our company forward.”

Lumleian has a strong track record of working with companies and investors to identify synergies and facilitate the development and commercialization of innovative life sciences technologies. "We are excited to work closely with the PetLife team to bring to market therapies and products that serve a significant unmet need and that have the potential to change the treatment paradigm for cancer in pets," said Jason Greenberg, a Director of Lumleian. 

"We see a largely untapped opportunity in the veterinary space to deliver safe and effective treatments for pets and their owners. We believe PetLife can be a leader in this space, and with the right strategic relationships, it can seize this opportunity as a first mover," said Greenberg. “We evaluate development-stage companies all the time. PetLife's unique value proposition, in our view, is driven by the relatively clear path to technical and regulatory success. With the strong human data and preclinical animal work generated to date, Vitalzul™ offers a compelling investment thesis,” continued Greenberg.

PetLife’s 506 Private Placement Memorandum is available only to accredited investors.
