WELCOME TO MEDPET
The Scientific Alternative
Medpet is a supplier of quality medicines, vitamins, supplements, nutraceuticals and other animal health products.
OUR STORY
In 1988, long before it was formally incorporated as Medpet (Pty) Ltd, the entity of 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 our aims 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. Pigeon fanciers love their pigeons, and perhaps even more, they love to win races! Medpet was initially founded to cater for this need: to make medicines for racing pigeons to keep them healthy, and to satisfy this demand for the passionate and enthusiastic participants in the sport - pigeon fanciers.
The progression - medicines for companion animals
With its scientific background and veterinary links, there was a natural progression for Medpet to move into providing medicines and supplements for birds other than racing pigeons, such as cage birds. The next natural progression was to formulate products for dogs and cats, and companion animals generally. Medpet soon became a popular choice with South African veterinarians treating the mainstream market of dogs and cats. Where possible, generic-type products were developed with a few changes that were aimed at delivering better value whilst actually improving the product in one way or another, for example palatability, efficacy, etc.
