The Albany Gazette - Jaguar Health Reports Positive Consumer and Veterinary Market Research Findings Supporting Commercial Opportunity for Neonorm Dog

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 28, 2026 / Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) ("Jaguar") today announced that the findings of exploratory surveys of dog owners and veterinary oncologists support the company's commercial opportunity for Neonorm Dog, a new extension of Jaguar's Neonorm franchise for companion animals. Neonorm Dog is designed to provide dog owners with access to a plant-based, non-prescription product intended to support normal stool consistency and GI fluid balance in dogs. The Neonorm franchise currently includes Neonorm Foal and Neonorm Calf, plant-based products developed to support proper hydration and bowel health in pre-weaned foals and calves. Neonorm products contain a standardized botanical extract derived from the sustainably harvested Croton lechleri tree, which acts locally in the gut.

"The results of our directional survey of 33 veterinary oncologists reinforce our belief that there is a meaningful unmet need for additional non-antibiotic, locally acting digestive support options for dogs with loose or watery stool that are designed to help support normal stool consistency and complement supportive care," said Ian Wendt, Jaguar's Chief Business Officer. "It is encouraging that nearly 90% of responding veterinary oncology specialists viewed the Neonorm Dog concept as clinically relevant, and that almost 80% indicated they would be likely to recommend it for selected canine oncology patients if available. 69% say they would be somewhat or very likely to recommend that dog owners keep Neonorm Dog at home for early loose stool. We view this feedback as important guidance as we continue preparing for our planned launch of Neonorm Dog."

"In our exploratory survey of 18 dog owners conducted to explore consumer attitudes, behaviors, and purchase intent for Neonorm Dog, dog owners responded positively to the Neonorm Dog concept, with participants expressing strong interest in a science-informed digestive support supplement designed to help support stool-firming. 83% of respondents found the Neonorm Dog concept very or extremely appealing, and 94% indicated they would definitely or probably purchase the product," Wendt said. "While this was a small, directional survey and not intended to be statistically representative, the findings reinforce our confidence in the unmet need Neonorm Dog is designed to address, and the findings will help guide our messaging, channel strategy, and future market validation efforts as we prepare for the commercial launch of the product."

"We are encouraged by the enthusiasm we saw in this early research. Participants consistently reinforced themes that align with our product strategy - including demand for a science-informed digestive support product that owners can keep on hand and use at the first sign of digestive upset," said Lisa Conte, Jaguar's founder, president and CEO. "Neonorm Dog is designed as a science-backed replacement for uncertain home remedies for digestive support that owners can keep on hand before symptoms start."

Jaguar is working on completing final packaging, labeling, and commercial launch preparations for Neonorm Dog and expects to make the product available through select online and animal health retail channels, including Amazon and Chewy. The launch of Neonorm Dog is intended to broaden Jaguar's commercial footprint in the companion animal market and extend consumer awareness of the Neonorm brand. Dogs represent one of the largest companion animal populations in the United States and Europe, and Jaguar believes Neonorm Dog may create an opportunity to reach pet owners, veterinarians, and animal health retailers seeking non-antibiotic, plant-based options to support digestive health.
