Dog and cat drug pairs
799 agent-and-indication pairs used both in companion animals with naturally occurring disease and in people, classified by whether the veterinary and human evidence point the same way.
Most pairs are human medicines adopted into veterinary practice later.

A pair exists where a published study tested a drug in companion animals with naturally occurring disease and that drug also exists in human medicine. The veterinary side comes from a systematic PubMed frame plus every trial in the NCI Comparative Oncology Trials Consortium, so the count measures the published veterinary trial literature, not the veterinary formulary. Marketed companion-animal drugs with little or no published trial literature — and drugs with no human counterpart at all, such as most parasiticides and vaccines — are correctly absent.
"Discordant" is used only where all the available evidence points the opposite way; "indeterminate" means the evidence on one side was not strong enough to call, and those pairs are kept in view rather than dropped. Timing says whether the drug was approved in humans before or after the veterinary evidence — most were approved first. The strata and confidence intervals are on the report page.
