The Animal or Companion Pet Market is huge.

The regulatory bar is considerably lower , you do not have to register the trial with the ANZCTR or utilise the DSMB. Ethics approval is required but seems to be a formality.

Many understand that Rats and Mice are the first on the list of Trialing but as Rats and Mice do not possess the vomiting gene, ie are unable to vomit up food/poisons. K9's do possess the vomiting gene but dogs have a terrific smell and food history recall.

As TheOC has pointed out PAA have overcome the Taste and smell barriers with their lead drug MPL.
Dogs have 300 million scent receptors and 4 times the amount of Human Taste receptors so once you have overcome these senses in a Dog you know most humans will not detect any taste or smell of medication.

In some cases you may notice that your cat or dog may be prescribed steroids , these are sometimes outdated or expired Human Drugs.

Plenty of upside here at IMU, Best of luck to all Holders ,,NZT
