Dr. med. vet. Dipl. Patrick Blättler Monnier

Dr. med. vet. Patrick Blättler Monnier started his work 30 years ago as a general veterinarian before deciding to specialise in canine orthopaedics. In the course of his professional work, he had to realise that the knowledge gained from his studies was not sufficient for the best possible treatment of his patients. The desire to be able to offer the affected animals optimal diagnostic and therapeutic options motivated the veterinarian to develop LupoGait and LupoMove in collaboration with the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland. He is also the founder of 4Dvets, which is responsible for the marketing and further development of LupoGait.
Today, Blättler Monniers is also the author of scientific publications (HD classifications, technical requirements for the measurement system, puppy studies, and the LupoMove Puppy Book) in which he was able to disprove some common assumptions about the optimal movement duration and type for puppies and provide solutions for dogs of all ages.

Dana Füngers

Her position as CMO for the company allows her to combine two of her passions. On the one hand, her private enthusiasm for dogs finds a professional outlet. The topic of dog health is close to her personal heart, because she grew up with dogs and as the happy owner of a Labrador, it is a particular concern of hers to be committed to the physical and emotional well-being of dogs, both professionally and privately. On the other hand, her work at 4Dvets allows her to make use of her expertise and many years of experience as an executive in the marketing sector and working for full-service agencies from a wide range of industries in a creative and exciting way.
