What We Do
Natural. Novel. Nutrition. From Vets to Pets.
Integrative Veterinary Innovations was founded with a clear vision: to provide shared knowledge to promote innovation in pet supplements, treats, and diets. Veterinary nutrition is rapidly changing and it's time to merge the finest whole foods ingredients, the latest science, the best of nature, and our responsibilities to be ethical and sustainable. We are excited to announce we have partnered with innovators in this field -- companies who represent the best of this vision. We've rigorously screened these organizations so pet owners don't have to, and we remain committed to providing our partners with the advice critical to maximizing wellness through integrative nutrition.
