THE MARU APPROACH
Treatment at the center.
Testing and follow-up in one flow.
Maru Animal Hospital examines each pet’s condition and plans treatment together with the owner. Telomere, chamber and quantum-related approaches are also explained on the basis of the veterinarian’s clinical judgment and the evidence for each animal.
We connect Director Son Hwa-seop’s clinical and treatment records with analysis data from specialized testing companies — reviewing treatment, understanding test results and recording progress, all together.
Testing
Through telomere, oral and genetic analysis,
information to understand the animal’s condition.
Follow-up
Recording and reviewing clinical care, tests
and changes over time, together.

01 / TELOMERE
Connecting telomere research
with animal health.
Maru’s materials present a companion-animal telomere research lab and anti-aging care as its clinical direction. On this website, explanations of the treatment approach and the test that analyzes telomere length are presented separately.

SCIENCE BEHIND THE QUESTION
The scientific reasons
behind telomeres.
Cell principles, observational animal studies and experimental treatment research.
Let’s look at what the evidence does — and does not — say.
TELOMERE & AGETelomere changes with age
With ageEach time a cell divides,
the ends get a little shorter
the ends get a little shorter
YoungLong telomeres
SeniorShorter telomeres
The structure that protects chromosome ends
Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences at the ends of chromosomes, and telomerase is the enzyme that synthesizes them. The discovery of this protection and maintenance mechanism was the subject of the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
What this evidence tells us +
It is a basic principle for understanding cells and chromosomes. The Nobel Prize does not certify the effectiveness of any particular hospital treatment or device.
Telomeres and lifespan
A 2012 study reported an association between telomere length in blood mononuclear cells and average breed lifespan across 15 dog breeds. This is one reason telomeres are examined in animal aging research.
What this evidence tells us +
This study looks at associations at the breed level. It does not calculate an individual animal’s remaining lifespan or prove that treatment extended lifespan, and blood-study results cannot be equated with the performance of an oral-sample test product.
Experimental use of telomerase
A 2012 study delivered the telomerase gene to adult and aged mice using an AAV9 vector. Under the study conditions, improvements in some health markers and an increase in median lifespan were reported.
What this evidence tells us +
This is a specific gene therapy experiment in mice. It did not use chamber or wave equipment and cannot be taken as evidence that the same results occur in dogs, cats or Maru’s treatments.
From research to clinical care
The connection Maru aims for is research principles → test results → clinical judgment for each animal → progress records. We explain the scientific background and real-world results separately.
How to understand treatment
Whether a treatment is applied follows the veterinarian’s clinical judgment. No technology or test result alone guarantees recovery, cure or a longer life.

TREATMENT MEETS ANALYSIS
Specialized testing partnerships
connected to treatment.
Our testing partnerships connect analysis data that helps understand a pet’s condition with clinical care. The lab’s role is analysis and reporting; the hospital’s role is interpretation and explanation based on clinical information.
Before testingThe right test for your pet
We review your questions and clinical information together and explain the purpose and items of each test.
After testingLinking results to care
We read the results alongside symptoms and history and discuss the next steps for care.
Telomere test
According to the testing company, telomere length is analyzed by qPCR from a sample collected with an oral swab, and a report is provided.
- Oral sample collection
- Telomere length analysis
- Report interpretation and follow-up consultation
Oral microbiome test
MotherPet is a testing service that analyzes oral microbiome information. The company presents oral health care information based on the results.
- Oral microbiome analysis
- Results on beneficial and harmful bacteria
- Oral health care and result consultation
Cancer genes · Hereditary diseases
The animal testing company offers cancer gene tests and hereditary disease tests as separate services. Each test has its own purpose and analyzes different information.
- Purpose and target of each test
- Understanding genetic analysis results
- Necessary care and further consultation

Descriptions of the testing services are based on the labs’ official websites. Changes in test values do not on their own prove the effect of any specific treatment.

MARU / Hospital photoTHE CLINICAL FOUNDATION
The foundation of treatment is
careful examination and explanation.
Maru Animal Hospital is built on Director Son Hwa-seop’s veterinary practice and the research of our telomere lab. Which treatment to provide is decided by a veterinarian who has examined your pet directly.
Examine, test, explain — and back to everyday life.
Maru is with you through it all.
CONSULTATION & VISIT
The first step for your pet:
one consultation at a time.
For owners curious about our treatment approach and testing, here is how to prepare and what the care process looks like.
What can I consult about?
- Questions about Maru’s treatment approaches such as telomere and chamber
- Purpose and interpretation of telomere, oral and genetic tests
- Ongoing concerns and progress after previous treatment
- Health care and monitoring for senior pets
Whether an approach applies depends on species, age, symptoms and history. Eligibility for care and treatment must be confirmed by our veterinary team.
From first visit to follow-up
- First consultation — We organize current symptoms, previous records and your questions together.
- Clinical and test review — The veterinarian decides which tests and care are needed.
- Plan explanation — We confirm and agree on the process, estimated costs and precautions.
- Follow-up check — We review changes in condition and any follow-up care needed.
This is a general guide; the order and content may vary with the animal’s condition.
BEFORE YOUR VISIT
A little preparation
makes for a fuller conversation.
Please bring three things
that help describe your pet’s condition.
Recent changes
Note when and what changed. Photos or videos of unusual behavior also help.
Previous records
Bring previous test results, medical records and the names of current medications, so you don’t have to repeat yourself.
Your questions
Write down your main concerns and what you want to ask, so nothing important is missed.
Frequently asked before a visit
Can test results alone determine my pet’s health?+
Each test measures different information and has its own limits. Results should be interpreted together with symptoms, history and clinical findings.
Should I bring test results from other hospitals?+
Previous records help us understand changes and clinical progress. Please also note the test dates and current medications.
How should I describe my pet’s condition?+
Note when the change started, how often, eating and activity, and any unusual behavior. Photos or videos are also helpful.
Location and consultation
Please request a consultation or visit via “Book a Consultation” at the top. We will review it and confirm the date and time with you.
Address checked against the business card and public hospital information. Please call ahead for parking information.
