We built Petus for our own pets
first.
Care happens between vet visits too. We wanted one place to keep our pets’ health history, ask everyday questions, follow changes at home and share a useful record with our own vet. That’s Petus.
It started with our own pets.
When one of them seemed off, the options were all poor: search the internet and weigh up contradictory answers, or wait days for an appointment only to be told “it’s probably fine.” Either way you’re guessing — about an animal who can’t tell you what’s wrong.
It should be easier to find guidance for everyday questions, keep your pet’s health history in one place, and share that record with your own vet when you need their advice.
Petus is what we wished existed when our own pets needed help.
The science of
longer lives.
Our long-term ambition is for dogs to live healthy lives as long as the humans who love them. Our research focuses on partial cellular reprogramming and canine gene therapies, aimed at restoring aspects of youthful cell function.
We are building on the team’s work in human longevity and cellular reprogramming. The programme brings together preclinical research, veterinary partnerships and prospective studies that follow dogs over time.
This work is at the research stage. Participation in a study requires its own protocol and consent, separate from using Petus for everyday care.
The people behind Petus.
Scientists and builders who’ve worked in human health for years — and are pet owners themselves.

More healthy years, together.
We want pets to have more time to live well. Today, Petus helps owners and vets build a fuller health history and follow changes. Alongside that care, we are advancing a research programme focused on the biology of ageing.
