SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Petnow Inc. announced that it will be showcasing the world's the first and the only service that identifies dogs and cats just using the app in MWC Barcelona, as well as releasing the app in Spain, France, Germany, and the UK along with the support for those countries.

Dr. Jesse Joonho Lim, the CEO of Petnow Inc. said, "We are proud to introduce our Petnow app in more languages for the broader area, and we trust that it will be able to stand out as a supplement or replacement of the microchips, tags, and collars as the biometric information of the animals is permanent and unique to each individual animal."
