BUILD BETTER ANIMAL-HEALTH PRODUCTS
Veterinary Product Innovation & Evidence Strategy
Helping animal-health companies turn promising ideas into clinically relevant, evidence-informed products veterinarians can trust.
From formulation and evidence evaluation to testing strategy and veterinary-market readiness, Asklepis brings 20+ years of clinical veterinary experience and deep botanical expertise to the decisions that shape better animal-health products.
A promising idea isn't enough.
An ingredient can look compelling on paper. A formulation can make theoretical sense. Research can appear convincing. And a product can still struggle when it meets veterinary reality.
The questions that matter often appear long before launch:
Is there a genuine clinical need?
Does the formulation make sense for the target animal and intended use?
Is the evidence strong enough—and relevant enough—to support the product strategy?
What should be tested before more money is invested?
Will veterinarians understand, trust and use it?
Asklepis helps animal-health companies answer those questions earlier—when better decisions can still change the trajectory of the product.

The Asklepis Product Intelligence Framework™
Animal-health products don't succeed through formulation alone.
Asklepis evaluates products through the interconnected clinical, scientific and practical questions that determine whether an idea can translate into something veterinarians and animal owners can confidently use.
HOW DO WE WORK
Asklepis Product Intelligence Audit
Before you invest further, know what you're actually building.
A structured veterinary review of an animal-health product or concept designed to identify strengths, gaps, risks and strategic priorities across formulation, evidence, clinical relevance and veterinary-market readiness.
That becomes your gateway.
Meet Dr. Alexia Tsakiris
Veterinary Consultant / Clinical Herbal & Nutraceutical Formulation / Business Strategist for Natural Animal Care
I'm a practicing veterinarian who also formulates herbal and nutraceutical products — and that combination is the core of what I offer. I see patients and clients every week, which means I'm not theorizing about what pet owners and practices want; I'm hearing it directly, in exam rooms, in real time.
That clinical grounding is paired with formal herbal education and hands-on formulation experience across both botanical and nutraceutical ingredients. I developed Early Bird Parasite Solutions, an herbal anti-parasitic formula, from concept through to a finished product. I've also contributed to an oral health formulation built around peptides, postbiotics, herbs and antioxidants — work that reflects where the field is heading: multi-modal formulas that draw on both traditional herbal knowledge and newer functional ingredients like peptides and postbiotics.
This dual perspective — full-time clinician and formulator — is what sets me apart. I know what claims resonate with skeptical veterinarians, what clients actually ask for at the counter, and where the gaps are between "sounds good in theory" and "works in practice."
Through Asklepis Veterinary Consulting, I help animal health companies and fellow practices with:
Herbal and nutraceutical formulation development and evaluation, grounded in clinical relevance
Messaging and education strategy that speaks credibly to veterinary audiences, including for newer ingredient categories like peptides and postbiotics
Connecting companies and practices with clinicians (myself and my network) for small-scale clinical trial participation
Because I'm still in practice, I also stay connected to a network of clients and colleagues at other clinics — a built-in bridge for sales conversations, product feedback, and trial recruitment that most consultants without a practice can't offer.
Let's connect if you're developing an herbal, nutraceutical, or functional-ingredient product and want a clinician's eye on it — from formulation through to the clients who'll actually use it.
