Excited to share insights from the recent Anivators event, a precursor to the London Vet Show & BVA Live! Needed a quick break from my presentation prep (sorry Harry N., Charlotte Ellicott still a work in progress). I was thrilled to witness the convergence of innovation and animal health. Here are some key takeaways: Innovation in Animal Health Leona Crawford from Layered emphasised the power of innovation to enhance animal health and drive efficiency for pets, practices, and pet owners. The focus on connecting innovative ideas with impactful potential is crucial, especially as millennials and Gen Z drive demand for premium and connected pet care. Industry Trends and Investment Arthur Redpath from SC Group highlighted the animal health industry's growth potential, driven by innovation and technological advancements. The shift towards monoclonal antibodies and biotechnological innovations is particularly exciting (well maybe not for me, but I know you guys get excited about it). However, funding remains a challenge, especially for early-stage innovations. M&A and Corporate Challenges Matthew Lee from Lincoln International provided valuable insights into M&A trends in animal health. Despite recent market fluctuations, there's optimism due to improving company fundamentals and strong revenue growth. All veterinary businesses face challenges like staff shortages and cost pressures, emphasising the need for innovative solutions. Dragon's Den-Style Pitches Two impressive pitches stood out: 1. HeckinGood: Owen Monie presented an innovative approach to pet insurance, focusing on short-term comprehensive care and emergency surgery cover. 2. Boop: Charlie Barton and Jamie Crittall introduced Boop, a digital platform aiming to revolutionise pet vaccination records and connect pet owners with their pet care ecosystem. The Anivators event showcased the incredible potential for innovation in our industry. As we prepare for the London Vet Show & BVA Live, it's clear that the future of animal health is bright, driven by technology, data, and a deep commitment to improving pet care.

Unleashing the Future of Canine Health Care: Sanjeev Goel MD Vision for Peak Canine Peak Canine is a project that blends the latest advancements in human healthcare with veterinary knowledge to give our furry companions the same level of care we would expect for ourselves. Pets, particularly dogs, do not simply share our homes; they reside in the hearts of millions of families, becoming an intrinsic part of our lives. Despite this profound bond, Dr. Sanjeev recognized a gap in the level and quality of healthcare available to our canine companions compared to human standards. Inspired by this discrepancy, Peak Canine was founded with the ambitious goal of fostering human-level healthcare that pivots from treating illnesses to embracing preventive measures to ensure our pets' longevity and well-being. Beyond Veterinary Care Traditional veterinary care has played an integral role in attending to our pets' health needs, focusing mainly on acute conditions or presenting complaints. However, Peak Canine wishes to transcend these confines by adopting a more holistic approach. The strategy is geared towards prevention—contemplating not just the present but prioritizing the future health of dogs. This approach encompasses a gamut of innovative tests and interventions pioneering in pet healthcare, including metabolic testing, genetic screening, and even biological age determination for dogs. We're seeking the first 100 dogs to participate in the first metabolic and biological study to understand longevity and anti-aging for dogs better.

VetEvaluated Educates: The Importance of Microchipping Your Dog Microchipping is a simple yet vital procedure for ensuring the safety and well-being of your beloved canine companion. Here's why it's crucial: 1. Permanent Identification: A microchip is a tiny device implanted under your dog's skin, containing a unique identification number. Unlike collars and tags that can fall off or become unreadable, a microchip provides a reliable form of identification that stays with your dog for life. 2. Lost Pet Recovery: In the unfortunate event that your dog goes missing, a microchip significantly enhances the chances of a happy reunion. Shelters, veterinary clinics, and animal control agencies routinely scan lost pets for microchips. If your dog is microchipped, these facilities can quickly contact you, facilitating a swift and joyous reunion with your furry friend. 3. Legal Compliance: Microchipping is often a legal requirement for dog ownership in many areas. By ensuring your dog is microchipped, you not only comply with legal obligations but also contribute to their safety and well-being. 4. Peace of Mind: Knowing that your dog has permanent identification offers peace of mind, especially during emergencies or natural disasters when pets may become separated from their families. Microchipping provides an added layer of security and increases the likelihood of a happy ending in such situations. Microchipping your dog is a proactive step toward ensuring their protection and security throughout their life. If your dog isn't already microchipped, consider discussing this important procedure with your veterinarian today. #MicrochipYourDog #PetSafety #PeaceOfMind #VetEvaluated"

It's DAY 2 of the American Veterinary Medical Association's National Pet Week® and today we're educating while celebrating "Behavioral health: Habits for happy pets". "Keep your pet happy and healthy by promoting positive interactions. Try creating an environment that encourages natural behaviors by introducing puzzles, games, and interactive toys, or learning new skills. Activities like target training are wonderful options for dogs and cats—and even other pets, like fish! You can also promote good behavior by helping your pets get comfortable in new situations by safely exposing them to a variety of interactions with other animals, people, places, and activities."
