Kindred Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: KIN) and Butterfly Network announce an affiliate relationship to make Butterfly’s state-of-the-art veterinary ultrasound tool, the iQ Vet, available to veterinarians in the United States. 

Under the agreement, veterinarians will be able to purchase Butterfly iQ—a handheld, veterinary ultrasound device—through collaboration with their KindredBio representative.

“Butterfly is a leader in the creation of accessible and affordable ultrasound technology. We are excited to join them in advancing veterinary diagnostics with this state-of-the-art ultrasound device,” said Jenna Hahn, Vice President, Commercial, of KindredBio.

KindredBio, a biopharmaceutical company focused on saving and improving the lives of pets, has launched two products approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration in less than two years. In November, it launched Zimeta™ (dipyrone injection). The company also has a deep pipeline of therapeutics in development for dogs, cats and horses.

Last month, Butterfly Network announced the availability of Butterfly iQ Vet, an all-new handheld ultrasound device that only costs $1,999 plus subscription. iQ Vet brings the company’s groundbreaking ultrasound-on-chip™ technology to veterinarians and animals.

Butterfly iQ Vet is a single probe, smartphone-connected device that can scan animals of all sizes ranging from dogs and cats to horses. Ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive and painless diagnostic imaging modality. However, access to imaging for many veterinarians has been a challenge. 

Recently, Butterfly iQ was voted as one of the best inventions of 2019 by Time magazine.

“With Butterfly iQ Vet, every animal hospital, clinic and mobile vet has access to a high-resolution device that will lead to earlier diagnosis, thereby improving medical care for all animals, large and small,” said Richard Markell, DVM, MRCVS, Director of Commercial Strategy, Veterinary, at Butterfly Network. “We are excited to partner with a company with a shared mission of advancing veterinary science.”

Zimeta™ is a trademark of Kindred Biosciences, Inc. in the United States and/or other countries. Ultrasound-On-Chip™ is a trademark of Butterfly Network Inc.
