A new option for pet lovers

For many of us, pets are more than animals — they share in our lives, routines, and even our emotions. But when faced with the loss of a beloved companion, the options are limited: Burial, cremation, or keepsakes.

Today, Tomorrow.bio is introducing a new choice for pet owners in the US: Pet cryopreservation. This service gives pet owners the option to preserve their animal’s body at ultra-low temperatures shortly after legal death, maintaining the hope that one day, advanced medical technology could offer revival.

This approach represents a step forward for those who believe in the possibilities of science — and for those who want to preserve not only the memories, but also the biological essence of their pet.

Why pet cryopreservation?

The science behind cryopreservation is based on the principle that pets can be preserved through cooling to temperatures where decay stops entirely. This process halts deterioration while maintaining the structures responsible for memory, personality, and learned behaviors.

While revival of cryopreserved animals is not possible with current technology, future breakthroughs in regenerative medicine, neuroscience, or biotechnology may make it achievable. By choosing cryopreservation, pet owners are preserving the possibility.

Expanding to the US: Why now?

Launching pet cryopreservation in the United States is a natural step for Tomorrow.bio. The US has a deep-rooted culture of advanced pet care, from veterinary specialists to insurance and wellness plans. There’s also a growing community of individuals interested in life extension, cryonics, and future technologies.

By expanding to the US, we can:

・Serve more pet owners seeking innovative options.

・Collaborate with local veterinarians for higher-quality care.

・Raise awareness about cryopreservation as part of end-of-life planning.

How pet cryopreservation works at Tomorrow.bio

Choosing pet cryopreservation with Tomorrow.bio is a straightforward process, designed to offer peace of mind and flexibility. Here's how it works:

Step 1: Get a personalized quote

Start by using our Pet Cryopreservation Calculator to receive a custom quote. This tool provides pricing options based on your pet’s size and your preferences. Whether your pet is healthy, in critical condition, or recently deceased, the calculator helps you explore your options.

Step 2: Create your pet cryopreservation contract

When you're ready to proceed, contact us via contact form, chat, or email at pet@tomorrow.bio. We’ll help you set up a contract tailored to your needs, including preservation type and payment plan. Non-members pay a one-time contract fee of €100.

Step 3: Contract funding

Once your contract is set, fund it using your preferred payment method, including flexible installment plans (exclusively for Tomorrow Bio members). Your contract becomes active when funding is confirmed, ensuring everything is in place when needed.

Step 4: Pet transportation, preservation, and long-term storage

When your pet passes (or is near passing), we coordinate customs, transport, and logistics. Our specialized partner collects your pet and transports them to our cryopreservation facility in Rafz, Switzerland. Upon arrival, your pet is preserved and securely stored in a dedicated cryogenic dewar.

Why choose Tomorrow.bio?

What options do you have?

At Tomorrow.bio, we offer two types of pet cryopreservation, depending on your needs and preferences (Note: We currently only offer Standard Cryopreservation in the US). You can calculate the cost for each option using our Pet Cryopreservation Calculator to see which fits your situation best.

Standard Preservation
Our Standard Preservation option involves slowly cooling your pet to -196°C. This method is more affordable, offering a reliable way to preserve your pet’s form and essence. However, please note that ice crystals will form during the process, which can impact celular integrity.
Ideal for:
Pet owners seeking a cost-effective option or those in areas where pet body arrival at EBF within 12 hours is not feasible.
Key Benefits:
More affordable preservation
Simple, easy-to-plan process
Maintains pet’s form and essence over time
Cons:
Ice crystal formation may impact tissue integrity
Less detailed cellular preservation
What’s included:
Door-to-Door transportation, legal and customs
Secure indefinite long term storage
24/7 Emergency Support Line
Advanced Preservation
Advanced Preservation is a method where your pet is first treated with fixatives and cryoprotective solutions to prevent ice crystal formation (Immersion vitrifixation). The cooling process is carefully controlled to ensure cellular structures remain intact, offering the highest level of preservation quality.
Ideal for:
Pet owners who prioritize optimal tissue preservation and are seeking the most advanced option available.
Key Benefits:
Prevents ice crystal formation
Preserves cellular structures for higher quality preservation
Carefully monitored and controlled cooling process
Cons:
Higher cost than Standard Preservation
After passing, pet must arrive at EBF within 12 hours, kept at 4°C
What’s included:
Door-to-Door transportation, legal and customs
Secure indefinite long term storage
24/7 Emergency Support Line

The future of pet care

What seems impossible today often becomes routine tomorrow. Just as gene therapy, cloning, and stem cell treatments were once considered science fiction, cryopreservation could one day become a standard part of future pet health care.

By choosing pet cryopreservation, you’re not accepting today’s limitations—you’re preserving the possibility that tomorrow’s science may give your companion another chance.

Take the next step

Your pet has given you countless moments of love, joy, and companionship. With cryopreservation, you can preserve the possibility of sharing more moments together in the future.
