Our Claim Areas

Every panel tests exactly one thing, and your claim only says what it measured. Run it alone, against your own reformulation, or against a named competitor. Comparator's optional.

The trust badge

A compact, tap-to-open badge sits on the product page. It names the lab, counts the validated claims, and links straight to the proof.

From your dashboard, toggle which validated claims appear on each product. Only claims from a completed study can be shown — a claim you did not test has no toggle, by design.

Built on Pharma Testing Standards.

Lab4Paws runs alongside veterinary pharmaceutical clients on drug and diagnostic development. The same cell isolation and assay validation standards used there apply to every pet food panel — in-vitro only, no live animal testing at any stage.

Pharma-grade quality testing protocols

Our standards meet the rigorous demands of pharmaceutical development, ensuring your pet food claims are based on the highest scientific integrity.
Pharma and clinical-world insights applied to pet nutrition

In-vitro lab testing only — no live animal testing, ever

Our commitment to ethical and efficient research means all testing is conducted in a lab, providing faster, more reproducible, and humane results.
Ethical, Fast, and Reproducible Results
All our testing is lab-based and in-vitro — meaning we test on cell models, not live animals. This is not only a more ethical approach — it's also faster, more reproducible, and increasingly preferred by regulators and consumers alike.

The Scientists Behind the Claim

When you send us your product, these are the people testing it.
