A better life for dogs with food allergies.
Your dog's food allergies are exhausting — for both of you. The itching, the scratching, the upset stomachs, the constant worry that one wrong ingredient sends you back to square one. And no matter what you've tried, the risk never really goes away.
We're enrolling dogs with food allergies in a clinical study to evaluate a new treatment approach.

FAQ’s
-
It’s how new veterinary medications and treatments are discovered and proven to work. Every prescription today started with volunteer pet participants.
-
People enroll their pets in a clinical trial to help find new and effective treatments for animal diseases for their own pets or for other pets.
-
Your dog may qualify if they're 1–10 years old, weigh greater than 11 lbs, are in good general health, have a diagnosed food allergy managed through a novel protein or hydrolyzed diet, and have no other active skin conditions.
-
Because the diet is managing the symptoms — not the allergy. Most food-allergic dogs live under constant dietary restriction, and one accidental exposure can trigger a significant reaction. If the investigational treatment proves effective, it could offer an additional layer of protection that makes life less restrictive and less stressful for your dog and your family.
-
Not necessarily. Some dogs will receive our investigational treatment and others will receive a comparable standard of care treatment. You'll know which group your dog is in before enrolling
-
Veterinary clinical trials are deemed safe through a combination of preclinical safety studies, thorough owner informed consent, proper dosing protocols, and continuous monitoring for adverse events — all designed to protect animal welfare throughout the course of the trial.
