Austin, TX – July 18, 2025 – ChowLogix, a portfolio of leading pet wellness brands, today announced the launch of PetLabs, a new division focused on pioneering innovation at the intersection of veterinary science, biotechnology, and functional nutrition. PetLabs will drive scientific research, formulation, and clinical validation across all ChowLogix brands.
The new division will be led by Dr. Rosario Zanatta, Chief Veterinary Officer, and Dr. Kim Kelly, Chief Research Officer—both previously instrumental in launching the Carson & Bear Pet Wellness Program, a foundational science-led initiative within the ChowLogix ecosystem.
“PetLabs is a bold step forward in our mission to set a new standard for pet wellness,” said Bridgette Chambers, Chair of the ChowLogix Board and CIO of BCPK Investments. “With Rosario and Kim at the helm, we’re building the scientific backbone that powers the next generation of pet health products.”
Dr. Zanatta, a licensed veterinarian in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, brings a global perspective to clinical strategy. She will lead veterinary oversight, clinical trials, and educational initiatives. Dr. Kelly, a PhD in cellular and molecular biology, will head research, biotech innovation, and product development with a focus on regulatory compliance and scientific rigor.
“Science should serve both the animal and the owner,” said Dr. Zanatta. “With PetLabs, we’re ensuring that every product we offer—from supplements to therapeutics—meets the highest standards of veterinary relevance, safety, and efficacy.”
“We’re here to innovate with integrity and rigor,” added Dr. Kelly. “Our goal is to blend biotechnology and nature to deliver formulations that actually improve outcomes.”
PetLabs will serve as a centralized innovation engine for ChowLogix, transforming emerging science into trusted, evidence-based pet wellness solutions—from functional treats to therapeutic nutrition.
As ChowLogix expands its leadership in the $100B+ global pet industry, PetLabs marks a strategic investment in long-term innovation, scientific differentiation, and market trust.
