Premium Nutraceuticals

Nutraceuticals can help support many areas of health, including joint mobility, digestive function, skin and coat condition, cognitive health, and function of vital organs. By providing specific nutrients and other beneficial compounds, nutraceuticals can help pets their health through different stages of life.

 

VetPlus has been at the forefront of veterinary nutraceuticals for more than 25 years, developing a comprehensive range of premium products to support pets across a wide variety of health needs. VetPlus products are not limited to one or two health areas, but instead offer a broad, integrated range covering areas such as joints, digestion, brain and behaviour, skin and coat, and internal organ health.

 

Trusted by veterinary professionals and pet owners around the world, VetPlus combines premium quality with an evidence-based approach and GMP-certified quality manufacturing standards — helping make VetPlus the Global Leader in Veterinary Nutraceuticals.

Over 30 Years of Growth, Innovation, and Product Leadership.

Family At Our Heart

VetPlus is a family owned business founded in 1995 by David Haythornthwaite in Lytham, Lancashire, England.

​

At VetPlus, we believe animals deserve the best possible products to help them enjoy life to the maximum. This is why we work tirelessly to develop high quality nutraceutical products, made from the best possible ingredients, in our state-of-the-art UK facility.

​

“From the very beginning, our focus has been on developing the best possible products for pets. While many global companies are driven by the need to satisfy their shareholders and army of accountants, we are a family owned business and as such are not subjected to such pressures. This allows us to concentrate all our efforts on making a product that is right for your pet.”

Science-backed, pet-loved.

Having our own in-house Research & Development facility allows us to have complete control of the development and manufacturing process from start to finish, but also react quickly to the changing needs of vets and their patients.

​

Over 90% of our products are produced in-house, at our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Lytham Lancashire, and our products pass through at least 16 different quality checks before they are released to our customers.

​

From the introduction of our very first product SYNOQUIN®, the UK’s leading chondroprotective, to the most recent addition, SUSTAIN®, we have continually strived to develop products that can in many cases improve, but primarily complement, existing therapies.

​

Significant investment in this area has and will continue to be at the forefront of the VetPlus business model, as we strive to find better solutions to the problems facing pet owners worldwide.
