Alright, granted. But, in that case, why not just do experiments in rats or rhesus monkeys, like everybody else? Instead of approaching the problem in a rigorous and scientific way, they're pitching a mirage of a product: A way to reunite, in the very distant future, pet owners with their recently deceased animals.
In itself, the scientific value of this is minimal. You can apparently sign up for Cryopets with a pet snake, fish, or frog. It's extremely unlikely that such non-mammals are getting revived at all, and there's effectively no way that any techniques that might work on 'em would translate to humans.
It's a grift because they're selling a product with < 0.0001% odds of successful delivery. (And I'm being generous here, 1-in-10000 probably considerably overstates their odds of success.) It doesn't look good.
