Symrise is a global leader in flavor, nutrition, and care, offering specialized solutions for the pet food industry, including palatants, functional ingredients, and nutritional enhancers. Our innovations are driven by consumer demand for high-quality, health-supporting, and enjoyable pet products. As this sector becomes increasingly competitive and scientifically advanced, clinical evaluation in the target species is critical to substantiating product claims and optimizing formulation performance.

To support internal R&D and product validation, we are expanding our network of organizations with the ability to perform controlled clinical studies in pets. These evaluations will help us understand behavioral responses, palatability, digestibility, and physiological or functional impacts of new ingredients under development. Assessments may include both short-term trials (e.g., two-bowl feeding studies) and longer-term studies evaluating markers of health (e.g., gut health, immune health, metabolism health, joint function, cognitive function, skin/coat quality, and oral health).

Our goal is to identify flexible, high-quality partners that can support a range of study types, from early concept screening to claim-substantiating veterinary trials, while ensuring ethical standards, regulatory compliance, and animal welfare.
