Nos options pour les animaux de compagnie

La cryoconservation utilise des températures extrêmement basses pour arrêter tous les processus biologiques de l'organisme. La cryoconservation n'est pas une congélation, car la formation de cristaux de glace serait très dommageable pour l'organisme. Cette procédure implique l'utilisation de solutions cryoprotectrices spécialisées (pensez à un antigel de qualité médicale) pour empêcher le gel lorsque le patient atteint des températures inférieures à zéro. Les patients sont cryoconservés dans l'espoir que les technologies futures puissent les réanimer et traiter la cause sous-jacente de leur décès.

La cryoconservation permet de prolonger le temps que vous passez avec votre animal de compagnie bien-aimé au-delà de sa durée de vie naturelle. Il préserve le lien affectif que vous partagez et donne l'espoir que les futures avancées médicales nous permettront de guérir et de ranimer votre animal de compagnie. Ce processus reflète non seulement votre engagement envers leur bien-être, mais soutient également l'avancement de la recherche sur la cryonie, ce qui pourrait bénéficier à la fois aux animaux de compagnie et aux humains.

Le coût de la cryoconservation varie en fonction de la taille de votre animal et de la méthode choisie, soit la congélation directe, soit la vitrofixation par immersion. Lorsque vous enregistrez votre premier animal de compagnie, les frais d'adhésion sont inclus dans le coût global. Pour tout animal de compagnie supplémentaire, des frais mensuels de 20€ s'appliquent, ce qui permet de maintenir l'accès à notre équipe d'urgence, disponible 24h/24 et 7j/7 pour répondre rapidement en cas de besoin.

Si vous n'êtes pas en mesure de prendre soin de votre animal de compagnie à l'avenir, soyez assuré que de nombreuses personnes seront désireuses d'assumer cette responsabilité. En choisissant la cryoconservation, vous offrez à votre animal la chance d'avoir une vie future et la possibilité d'être pris en charge par des personnes qui partagent votre engagement.

Both methods involve gradually cooling your pet to -196°C; however, the approaches differ in terms of preservation quality.

Straight Freeze is a simpler, more affordable method that directly cools the pet’s body. While effective, this method may lead to ice crystal formation within the tissues, which can impact preservation quality.

Immersion Vitrifixation is a more advanced process. It begins by treating the pet with fixatives to create cross-links in the proteins, stabilizing tissue structure. The body is then submerged in cryoprotectant solutions with gradually increasing concentrations over several months, allowing the cryoprotectant to diffuse deeply into the tissues. This process prevents ice crystal formation, preserving cellular structure and tissue integrity at a much higher level. Once the ideal concentration is achieved, the pet is slowly cooled to -196°C. Immersion Vitrifixation is ideal for those seeking the best preservation quality.

Membership is not required to cryopreserve your pet. However, becoming a Tomorrow.bio member offers significant benefits, such as free memberships for your first pet, access to the pre-payment plan, and discounts on additional pets membership and cryopreservation contract.

Becoming a Tomorrow.bio member provides a range of valuable benefits, both generally and specifically for pet cryopreservation. As a general member, you gain access to Tomorrow.bio’s advanced cryopreservation services, including both human and pet options. Membership also includes exclusive updates, events, and perks, keeping you connected to the latest advancements in cryopreservation technology and offering opportunities to learn and engage with the community. Members receive priority support, ensuring faster response times and dedicated assistance with all arrangements for peace of mind. For those specifically interested in pet cryopreservation, membership offers additional advantages: your first healthy pet receives a complimentary membership, allowing you to plan ahead, and you have access to a flexible pre-payment plan to spread out the cost over up to 24 months. Tomorrow.bio members also receive a 5% discount on the cryopreservation contract cost, as well as reduced membership fees for additional pets, making it more affordable to cryopreserve an entire pet family. Lastly, Tomorrow.bio members have the unique opportunity to honor their pet on the Pet Memorial Mural at the European Biostasis Foundation, celebrating their pet’s legacy and pioneering spirit.

The Pet Memorial Mural at the European Biostasis Foundation honors cryopreserved pets, featuring a photo, name, location, and date of preservation. This unique tribute is available exclusively for Tomorrow.bio pet members, celebrating both your pet’s legacy and your commitment as a pioneer in cryopreservation.

If your pet’s dimensions exceed the standard size, please contact us at pet@tomorrow.bio to receive a custom quote tailored to their specific requirements.

We offer multiple payment options, including a one-time payment, monthly installments through a financing partner, and a pre-payment plan for members with healthy pets. These options make it easier to manage the costs of cryopreservation.

Yes, Tomorrow.bio members can pre-enroll a healthy pet, securing their place for future cryopreservation. This proactive planning allows you to have peace of mind, knowing your pet’s arrangements are already in place, get discount in your contract and access to pre-payment plan exclusive for members.

The pre-payment plan is available to Tomorrow.bio members with healthy pets. It allows you to fund cryopreservation over a period of up to 24 months. If the pet passes before the full amount is paid, the remaining balance must be covered to initiate preservation.

If your pet cannot be transported and delivered to our facility in Switzerland within 12 hours of passing, while kept at 4°C, Immersion Vitrifixation won’t be possible—only the Straight Freeze option will be available. For Straight Freeze, a fully funded contract is required. Once the contract is covered, Tomorrow.bio will handle all necessary logistics, including providing an insulated transportation box, dry ice for the initial cooldown, and comprehensive support for safe transport.

For Immersion Vitrifixation, your pet must be located in a region where transportation to our facility in Switzerland within 12 hours of passing is possible, while maintained at a stable 4°C. A fully funded contract is also required. Once these conditions are met, Tomorrow.bio will handle all logistics, including providing an insulated transportation box and coordinating temperature-controlled transport for a safe and timely arrival.

Once the contract is fully funded and funds are available to Tomorrow.bio, we begin the arrangements for cryopreservation. For clients outside the European Union, such as those in the UK or USA, we must obtain a special biological material import permit from Swiss border authorities, which can take a few days to process. After securing the permit, we arrange transportation to our facility in Switzerland.
The timeline for cryopreservation depends on the chosen method. For Straight Freeze, the cooling process takes approximately 50 hours once the pet arrives at our facility. Immersion Vitrifixation, however, is a longer process, requiring up to 12 months depending on the pet’s size, as the cryoprotectant solution must gradually diffuse into the tissues. Our team will keep you informed throughout each stage to ensure a smooth and timely experience based on your pet’s specific needs and location.
