About Happier.Pet

Built with vets, breeders and pet parents

We started as a university project collecting breed data. Today we fund our own research in clinics and work alongside vets every day, so the guidance your customers get is grounded in real pets’ experiences.

Made with vets

Where we started

From a university project to vet-verified data across 650+ breeds

What began as a project collecting breed data became The Dog API and The Cat API, used by universities & organisations. Working with global pet insurers taught us how to use this data to improve pets’ lives at home. That’s why we became Happier.Pet.

Why we’re now Happier.Pet

Our research

We fund our own research in clinics

We don’t just wait for the evidence to be published. We work with vets in practice to test and improve what we build, and every finding feeds back into the data behind each PetProfile.
