WINPRO Pet , an Ankeny-based pet company that makes serum-based supplements for dogs announced yesterday that it has closed a Series B round of more than $3 million from Next Level Ventures . Founded in 2016, WINPRO products use clinically proven animal blood proteins to help prevent and combat the negative effects of stress-induced inflammation in dogs.
