Simulated canine and feline digestion, run on the finished product.
FORMAT 01Digestibility + bioactivity
Kibble & Treats
We digest your finished kibble or treat the way a dog or cat would, then measure what the released active does in species-matched cells.
A nutrient only counts if it survives the gut and still acts once it's there. So we don't test the raw ingredient on a slide — we test the finished product, the way the animal actually meets it:
- Digestion
Gastric and pancreatic enzymes, at canine or feline pH and timing, release the active the way the gut would.
- Bioavailability
A bioavailability assay measures how much of it actually becomes available to reach the cells.
- Bioactivity
A bioactivity assay puts that digested fraction onto a dog or cat cell model and records the response behind your claim.
Chews, powders and capsules tested as sold — then documented.
FORMAT 02Functional activity · vet-ready dossier
Supplements, Toppings & Nutraceuticals
We test your chew, powder or capsule and hand you a dossier you can put in front of a vet.
Most supplement claims trace back to a single ingredient studied in humans or rodents — not the finished product, and not in a dog or cat. That's the gap we close:
- Claim areas
Nine claim areas, each read in a dog or cat cell model with markers tied to the claim.
- Head-to-head
An optional comparison against a market leader in the same model — the test most brands ask for. Match or beat it, and you have a number a vet will read.
- Substantiation
A documented dossier that counts as substantiation under EU 767/2009 and helps open the veterinary channel.
Actives read in dog and cat cells — alone, then in the finished product.
FORMAT 03For suppliers & manufacturers
Botanical Extracts & Ingredients
We test your active in canine and feline cells, find the effective inclusion rate, and surface the performers worth formulating with.
Your customers sell to dogs and cats; most ingredient data doesn't. We give you species-specific proof and a defensible dose, so your extract becomes the one brands choose instead of the one they undercut on price:
- Species match
Activity measured in dog and cat cells, not borrowed from human, rodent or livestock studies.
- Effective dose
A concentration range tested to find the effective dose, then translated into a concrete inclusion rate a brand can formulate with.
- In the product
Tested as the ingredient alone, and then inside a finished product at the real inclusion rate — so the data matches the claim exactly.
