Benefits for Pharmaceutical Companies

Value Creation, De-Risking Technology, and Cashflow?
Comparative Data: Translating efficacy outcomes from rodent studies can be challenging, and is one reason many pharmaceutical companies are now looking to veterinary medicine to evaluate efficacy in companion animals with spontaneous diseases which mimic the same diseases in people. This approach may provide valuable information for taking a drug or biologic into human clinical trials, while also providing pet owners access to cutting edge technologies. is substantially more valuable (value creation) compared to lab animal models. Dogs, in particular, have a number of spontaneous diseases that closely resemble their human counterparts, such as cancer, osteoarthritis, congestive heart failure, autoimmune diseases, and other conditions that closely resemble disease in humans.
