Dogs are among the species with the most cancer on planet Earth. We have a silent epidemic in dogs rampaging at the cellular level. Cancer has become the leading cause of death in dogs, many are burdened with metabolic illnesses. According to American Veterinary Medical Association, half of the dog population will be confronted with this heartbreaking disease in their lifetime. Life is never the same after a cancer diagnosis, millions of heartbroken families are left to hug their companions goodbye. The heart of Pio is an easy entry to proactive wellness. Pio strives to increase defense against cancer and reduce risks of metabolic diseases through cycles of cellular autophagy and circadian rhythm. By optimizing the animal body's biological clock and metabolic conditioning, Pio helps owners turn on the switches for cells in the body that can reap incredible metabolic and cellular benefits. From the microbiome to mitochondria, Pio shines a light on this silent epidemic to empower animal wellness. For we share this planet together, we seek to treat all walks of life with care and respect.
