BodeVet

What BodeVet does

BodeVet, Inc. is a Rockville, Maryland-based veterinary biotechnology company founded in 2017 and operating as a subsidiary of Cellphire. The company develops and commercializes blood products for veterinary transfusion medicine, addressing unmet needs in companion and exotic animal care. Its core technology is proprietary trehalose-based lyophilization, which enables the production of shelf-stable, freeze-dried platelet and plasma products that do not require continuous refrigeration.

The flagship product, StablePlate RX, is positioned as the world's first injectable freeze-dried platelet product for canines and serves as a shelf-stable hemostatic agent for trauma, thrombocytopenia, ITP, DIC, and other bleeding conditions. The portfolio has expanded to include StablePlas (lyophilized canine plasma), DMSO cryopreserved platelets, fresh frozen plasma in multiple volumes, DEA 1.1 positive and negative packed red blood cells, stored whole blood, blood collection bag systems, and diagnostic test kits (Alvedia DEA 1 and DMS crossmatch). Manufacturing is conducted under cGMP with socially responsible sourcing, and the company has run or initiated clinical studies, including the 1-2017-K9 multicenter canine study and a U.S. Army-funded (USAMRAA) canine polytrauma trial awarded in 2020.

BodeVet operates a B2B go-to-market model, selling products through an authenticated online store (Shopify-hosted) to veterinary hospitals, emergency and specialty clinics, zoos, and equine practices. Distribution is supplemented by direct veterinary distributor relationships for supplies. Marketing relies heavily on industry conferences (IVECCS, ACVIM), research publications, and clinician testimonials. The company has secured non-dilutive funding through a $1.7M USAMRAA contract and a grant from the International Elephant Foundation for EEHV treatment development in partnership with the Smithsonian Global Health Program.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves1 record

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Zoetis: Largest pure-play animal health company globally, offering a broad portfolio of pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, and biologicals. While not focused on transfusion medicine specifically, Zoetis has the scale, distribution, and R&D resources to enter veterinary blood products if the category proves attractive.
• IDEXX Laboratories: Leading veterinary diagnostics company whose blood typing and crossmatch test kit offerings overlap with BodeVet's diagnostic supplies business. IDEXX's established veterinary distribution network and clinical relationships make it a relevant benchmark for channel reach.

Emerging players

• VetStem Biopharma: Veterinary regenerative medicine company offering autologous stem cell and platelet therapies for companion animals and horses. Competes with BodeVet in the regenerative orthobiologics space, particularly in equine platelet lysate applications.
• MediVet Biologics: Veterinary regenerative medicine company providing stem cell and PRP kits for in-clinic use. Competes in adjacent regenerative therapy categories and targets the same emergency and specialty veterinary hospitals as BodeVet.
• Ardent Animal Health: Provider of regenerative veterinary medicine including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapies. Overlaps with BodeVet's regenerative/orthobiologics positioning, particularly for equine and small animal musculoskeletal applications.

Direct peers

• HemoPet / HemoSolutions: Veterinary blood bank and blood product supplier focused on canine transfusion medicine. Operates a similar B2B model supplying veterinary hospitals with conventional blood components, directly competing with BodeVet's fresh frozen plasma and packed red blood cell SKUs.
• Animal Blood Resources International (ABRI): Veterinary blood bank supplying canine and feline blood products (packed red cells, plasma, whole blood) to veterinary practices. ABRI competes head-to-head with BodeVet's traditional (non-lyophilized) blood product lines and serves the same veterinary hospital customer base.
• Cellphire: BodeVet's parent company develops Thrombosomes, a trehalose-stabilized freeze-dried human platelet product. Cellphire shares the same core lyophilization and trehalose stabilization IP with BodeVet, making it the most direct technological peer despite operating in human rather than veterinary medicine.

Others

• Covetrus: Major veterinary distribution company supplying products and supplies to veterinary practices. Relevant as a potential channel partner for BodeVet's products and as the incumbent in veterinary supply logistics.
• Patterson Veterinary Supply: Leading U.S. veterinary distributor serving companion animal practices. Functions as a potential distribution channel for BodeVet's blood products and supplies into the broader veterinary hospital market.
