Our
approach
Consider the pet holistically
By looking at pet health holistically, we can better understand the many factors that can influence their wellbeing. This includes studying the interconnectivity between diet, exercise, stress, environmental factors, and chronic diseases.
Focus on proactive healthcare models
Traditionally, pet care has taken more of a reactive approach by addressing problems only after they emerge. We prioritise a proactive approach which encompasses early interventions, and lifestyle modifications to reduce or prevent the risk of disease.
Produce actionable science
Our team is dedicated to generating research that has short-term applications and provides insights and recommendations that pet owners and healthcare professionals can use to improve health outcomes today. Ultimately, we want to set new standards in the pet industry where prevention is a major part of care.
Use cutting-edge technologies and research methods
We employ rigorous process and robust methodologies to ensure reliability, validity, and relevance. Our team uses the latest technologies and collaborates with the best universities and scientists to assemble, analyse, and disseminate research findings with the scientific community and the public.
Lend a helping paw
We’re pet people ourselves, which is why we don’t use laboratory animals in clinical studies. Instead, we use companion pets as our study population.
If you’re passionate about pet health and would be interested in having your pet participate in one of our studies, fill out this form and we’ll be in touch once there’s a relevant study.
