X Caliber is now available at Happy Pet Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand, starting this month. Happy Pet is a full-service veterinary hospital offering a comprehensive array of pet care services, including a pet park, pet taxi and a pet shop.
In Vietnam, SKT has partnered with Vet Sky Holdings, a prominent provider of pet diagnostic equipment, solutions and veterinary hospital chains. Starting this month, the SKY Animal Medical Center in Ho Chi Minh City will introduce X Caliber to enhance the diagnosis of pet diseases.
