Dr. Jean Dodds started Hemopet's non-profit animal blood bank and greyhound rescue/adoption program in 1986. Jean is also highly respected in the animal health and veterinary diagnostic fields.
Today, Hemopet's Hemolife Diagnostic division specializes in thyroid testing and Nutriscan, a novel, patented food intolerance food sensitivity testing system for cats and dogs. This assay system utilizes an important new approach in nutrition - that salivary diagnostics can more accurately identify the foods to be avoided rather than focus on those less like to be reactive.
Dr. Dodds' revolutionary concept is the first food intolerance and sensitivity testing program to match pets with their individual nutritional needs and genetic makeup, i.e. functional nutrition or nutrigenomics. This provides owners with accurate information to select the optimal pet foods and treats based on high level nutritional principles.
