at the world’s largest trade fair for the international pet industry

VERNON, British Columbia, May 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- True Leaf Medicine International Ltd. (“True Leaf”) (CSE:MJ) (FSE:TLA) (OTCQB:TRLFF), a plant-focused wellness brand for people and their pets, announced today that the company will present its first line of hemp-based treats specially formulated for cats at Interzoo, May 8-11, 2018, in Nuremberg, Germany.

The innovative treats have a crunchy outer shell and a soft inner core made with hemp – a first to the industry world-wide. The functional treats will provide calming support for cats, promote skin and coat health, help prevent hairballs, and also support urinary tract function.

“We are proud to introduce our first product line for cats to the international pet industry this week at Interzoo,” said Darcy Bomford, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of True Leaf. “True Leaf Pet exists to help pets live happier, healthier lives. We will soon offer millions of cat owners a line of treats that provide the same benefits as our popular hemp-based products for dogs.”

True Leaf Pet has also expanded its selling power in Europe. The company has partnered with several new distributors over the past few months to bring its products to pet stores in Norway, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, and Greece. True Leaf Pet products are now available in more than 470 stores across Europe, including the Pets Corner locations in the United Kingdom.

True Hemp™ is the first hemp-based pet product line to be marketed globally. The company’s dog chews, dental sticks, and supplement oils are now sold in more than 1,800 stores across North America, Europe, and New Zealand.

True Leaf Pet hemp-based pet products are also available online at www.trueleaf.com and on Amazon.
