Why Pets?

Love. The world is desperate for community. There is no more loyal companion than a dog.

Tailwinds. In an increasingly aging, infertile and lonely world, pets are driving the most rapid growth of any subcategory in Consumer.

Speed. Pets shared biology of aging make them models for developing human breakthroughs faster and cheaper.
