In December we formed a team to take part in the BiG Challenge and Animal Solutions was formed. 

 Our aim was to look into the needs of animals and to find solutions for their problems as a result of this. 

One issue that was brought to our attention was that of a number of cats and dogs who lost or broke their canine teeth.  The question that was posed was could they be repaired or replaced?

We decided that this was a problem worthy of research and something we were able to get our teeth into.  Our research demonstrated remarkable results by methods of a questionnnaire, asking potential customers how many people owned pets and how much they would be willling to spend on their animals.   Consequently we felt that the research was worthwhile.

We then entered the BiG Challenge and received £25 to begin with.  To show the team's faith in the project, we matched the £25 with our own money buying shares in Animal Solutions.  We have purchased stock including collars and leads to help raise funds to continue with our research.  We are now at the stage where we have out first prototype canine tooth replacement.

Our researchers have worked closely with the college dental department and we are very greatful for their support and efforts.  We look forward to working with them to achieve the finished products. 

Exciting times ahead!
