MEDPET

Medpet is a supplier of quality medicines, vitamins, supplements, nutraceuticals and other animal health products.

In 1988, Medpet began developing products. The South African company’s initial focus was in the specialist field of pigeon and avian medicine, vitamins, and healthcare products, but soon branched into developing products for companion animals (mainly dogs and cats). The company slogan “The Scientific Alternative” aims to give insight into the fact that we believe in formulating, producing and supplying premium products that are based on scientific research and proven results. One of main aims of Medpet is to offer an alternative product choice of at least equivalent quality, at better value.

The Beginning – Medicines for birds
The nature of pigeons, and the environment in which they live, means that they are susceptible to disease and ailments.  However, racing pigeons are performance animals, and only healthy racing pigeons win races. Around the world, the sport of pigeon racing is one that has a very passionate following from those that partake in it. Now Medpet is here to make medicines for racing pigeons to keep them healthy, and to satisfy this demand for the passionate and enthusiastic participants in the sport.

The Progression - medicines for companion animals
Based on scientific backgrounds and strong veterinary links, Medpet expanded its activities to include medicines and supplements for birds and then to products for dogs, cats, and other companion animals generally.
