Problem
Most pets never receive research-grade diagnostics, leaving common health concerns like chronic itching and skin irritation undertreated. Pet parents lack access to advanced testing and evidence-based solutions, while biotech and pet care companies struggle to recruit eligible pets for clinical studies efficiently.
Solution
Treat Bio operates a home-based clinical research platform that matches pets to studies sponsored by biotech, pharma, pet food, and supplement companies. Pet parents receive study kits containing diagnostic tests, wearable devices, and supplements delivered directly to their homes, with vet visits covered when needed. The platform collects health and biometric data—including microbiome tests, wearable activity data, and clinical assessments—to generate personalized insights and track treatment outcomes. Participants keep the perks, learn what worked for their pet, and can join future studies, while partners receive anonymized data to advance their research and product development.
Target Audience
Primary users are pet parents in the United States seeking advanced diagnostics and treatment for their pets' health concerns, along with biotech, pharma, pet food, and supplement companies looking to design and run clinical studies.
