PR Newswire (US)
UNION CITY, Calif., March 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Abaxis, Inc.
(NASDAQ:ABAX) a medical and veterinary manufacturer of
point-of-care blood analysis systems, announced today that it is
organizing a large scale community outreach program in response to
the recent pet food recall. On Saturday, March 31, the company will
set-up a one day free Wellness Testing Program for concerned pet
owners in the East Bay area of California to bring their pets for
health screening. The location will be at the site of the company's
worldwide headquarters in Union City, California. Utilizing Abaxis'
Comprehensive Diagnostic Test Profile and the company's
state-of-the-art VetScan blood analyzer, pet owners will have
results in less than 15 minutes. This process only requires a few
drops of blood taken from the cat or dog and tests all the
necessary blood constitutes to assure proper kidney function.
Additionally, the profile tests for liver disease and can diagnose
a wide range of illnesses often before the animal begins showing
signs of clinical disease. Pet owners for which the company
uncovers underlying diseases will be referred to a local
veterinarian, taking along with them the full blood chemistry
report. For those without a regular veterinarian, the company will
refer them to local clinics. "We are hearing from customers all
over the country and throughout the animal health industry that
this problem might be much more widespread than reported,
ultimately having a potentially tragic affect for many pet owners.
We encourage in particular those families with pets that might not
be able to otherwise afford routine or preventative treatment for
their cat or dog to come to our facility for the free testing, in
particular if any of the suspect foods were used, regardless of the
animal exhibiting any signs or symptoms of illness," commented
Martin Mulroy, Vice-President Marketing and Sales for the North
American Veterinary Business. For more information on this free one
day Wellness Testing Program please visit

educational handouts for the pet owners on the importance of
routine, preventative healthcare for their pets. Abaxis will also
be accepting donations for the local ASPCA and will match funds
collected during this community service event. About Abaxis, Inc.
