Velcera Announces Voluntary Termination of Registration With the SEC

Market Wire, October, 2008

Velcera, Inc. (OTCBB: VLCR), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on pet health, announced today that it has filed a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). As a result, effective immediately, the Company's obligation to file reports with the SEC has terminated. The SEC has 90 days to review the Company's Form 15 for compliance with the decertification requirements. The Company's shares may still trade on the "pink sheets" if a registered broker dealer sponsors the Company's shares.

The Company is taking these actions primarily to reduce financial and administrative costs and burdens associated with being a publicly traded company under the regulations promulgated by the SEC and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Company estimates the direct and indirect cost savings to be in excess of $400,000 annually.

"The Board of Directors has carefully considered this matter and believes the financial and personnel costs associated with being a public reporting company outweigh the benefits, and thus this move is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders," stated Dennis Steadman, Velcera's President and Chief Executive Officer.
