About PETVITY

PETVITY is the world's first Pet Longevity platform — translating two decades of human longevity science into accessible, measurable, gentle daily care for dogs, cats and horses. Headquartered in Zürich with hubs in Monaco and Dubai, the company combines a digital platform (Pet Profile, Pet-Harmony Score™, member dashboard), a physical retail and salon presence, an academy, a sitter certification program, and a curated marketplace under one Swiss standard.

Founded 2026 by Manuel Riegner, parent organization Swiss Longevity Hub. 1% of every membership is committed to wildlife reserves and animal welfare.

Founder · Manuel Riegner

Swiss entrepreneur with a decade in health-tech, longevity coaching and premium lifestyle. Founder of the Swiss Longevity Hub, the parent organization of PETVITY. Lives in Zürich; speaks at industry events from Monaco to Dubai on the intersection of human and animal healthspan.

Manuel founded PETVITY after losing six healthy years with his Border Collie to inadequate commercial pet nutrition — and discovering that the longevity science already developed for humans had no equivalent translation for animals.

Key narratives for coverage

Five framings the PETVITY team is happy to comment on, with data and case studies on hand:

1

The pet healthspan gap

Twenty years of human longevity research has barely reached pet medicine. PETVITY is the first attempt to systematically close that gap — with a measurable score across body, bond, lifestyle and growth.

2

Switzerland as the trust anchor

Why Swiss precision in regulation, manufacturing and data privacy makes Zürich the natural home for premium pet health — and why luxury pet brands are increasingly relocating R&D here.

3

The Monaco–Polo intersection

The first Pet Longevity Summit (Monaco, September 2026) is anchored to the Monte-Carlo Polo Cup. The story: where horse-sport heritage, UHNW philanthropy, and longevity science finally share a stage.

4

A new profession: Certified Pet Longevity Sitter™

The world's first formal certification for pet sitters who work at the longevity tier — Swiss-certified, with wholesale access (30–40%) and lifetime referral commission (10%). Why this is more than a job and what it means for the gig economy in care.

5

1% to nature

How PETVITY's 1%-to-wildlife commitment is structured into the company governance — not a marketing line. Annual transparency report planned from 2027.

— Manuel Riegner, Founder
"Mobility isn't a symptom. It's a vital sign. We just haven't been treating it that way."
— Dr. Sarah Vogt, integrative DVM, PETVITY medical advisor
