Better Choice, a pet health and wellness company and maker of the Halo Elevate pet food brand, has acquired its former R&D partner, Aimia Pet Healthco Inc.
The two companies first partnered in October 2023 to collaborate on R&D for a supplement to support weight loss in pets. In November, Aimia signed a second R&D agreement with KGK Science to help develop the supplement. With the acquisition of Aimia, Better Choice said it will be in a better position to manage clinical trials internally in hopes of continuing supplement development.
More than half of all dogs and cats worldwide are classified as overweight or obese and can suffer from the same weight-related health complications as humans – including arthritis, diabetes, and high blood pressure. blood Following Pfizer’s creation of its Slentrol drug, Better Choice said it will work with Aimia to develop treats and toppers to safely combat pet obesity.
The purpose of the research and development work is to demonstrate the weight loss benefits of leading brands for pets and humans including Slentrol, Wegovy, Ozempic and Mounjaro with added protein and nutrients from the products of the company’s Halo to promote lean muscle and overall pet health.
Headquartered in Oldsmar, Florida, Better Choice offers a broad portfolio of pet health and wellness products for dogs and cats sold under its Halo brand in multiple forms, including treats , treats, toppers, dental products, chews and supplements.
Aimia Pet Heathco Inc. is a Canadian company dedicated to the welfare of companion animals.
