A team united by a love for all pets
Basepaws is committed to providing tools that help you proactively support your pet's health—because nothing is more valuable than a better life, lived longer. Join us on our mission, and meet the diverse team that brings Basepaws science to life!
How it all began
Founded in 2017, Basepaws is a petcare genetics company that offers affordable, easy-to-use screening tools for the early recognition of disease risks in pets.
We created the world’s first at-home comprehensive cat DNA test and oral health test for cats, and we continue to grow the largest feline genomic and oral microbiome database. This work has become the solid foundation upon which we are building our canine research and development program to help even more pet parents and their beloved pet families.
In 2022, Basepaws became a proud member of Zoetis — the world's leading animal health company. Together with Zoetis, we're creating a future of health and wellness for our pets that will be brighter than ever.
The "why” behind it all
True innovation requires open minds and diverse partnerships. Co-creation yields a richer set of ideas and solutions, which nurture and deepen our connection to colleagues and our valued pet parent community.
To address unmet needs in pet health, we tap into the knowledge, and experience of our community. The perspectives of both our pet health colleagues and of the pet parents whom we serve provide equally valuable contributions.
Honesty, transparency, and ethics guide our research, partnerships, product development, and communications. We strive to lead with integrity across our operations.
Listening is at the heart of effective communication, so that we can be responsive to the needs of our pet parent community, investors, and veterinary and industry partners.
Pet lovers, united by our bond with our furry friends
