Botanical Extracts & Ingredients. The right data for your pet food & care customers.
We test your active ingredient in canine and feline cells and select the best performers. Win an edge over competition.
Your customers are selling to dogs and cats. Their data isn’t.
Most functional ingredient data comes from research on other species. That leaves your customers with two gaps at the buying table — and you can close both.
Don’t know the effective dose? We test a range and find it.
Most brands don’t arrive with a defensible concentration — and that’s fine. We test your extract across a series of concentrations, identify the level where activity holds, and translate that into a concrete inclusion rate you can formulate with.
Six claim areas, each in a dog or cat cell model.
These are the claim areas relevant to functional ingredients. We map your extract to the ones your customers want to support.

Ingredient level
Does your extract have measurable activity in dog or cat cells, at a defensible concentration?
This is the data you hand a prospective brand.
In-formulation level
Does that activity survive inside a finished product, after processing, at the inclusion rate a brand would actually use?
This is what turns a buyer’s maybe into a purchase order.
We scope every result to exactly what we tested. Ingredient data proves the ingredient. It does not become a finished-product claim unless we tested the finished product.
The comparator test
We run your extract head-to-head against a competing ingredient in the same cell model. If yours performs, that is a selling point your competitor cannot copy.
