Mission & Purpose

PetLab Co. is a professional community of animal lovers that uses scientific research to guide our product development. We provide everything from vitamin supplements and grooming products, to general expert advice – all aimed at maximising the health and well-being of every pet. At PetLab Co., we grew frustrated with the market of cheaply produced and ineffective dog supplements and, as humans, we can personally bear the pain of low quality products, but dog’s can’t trial-and-error like we do. So, where pets are concerned, we dedicate ourselves to rigorous research and total transparency which allows our customers to rely on us, worry free. For this reason, we live, breathe and operate with 100% belief that anything consumed by our dogs & cats should be safe, natural and effective... That’s why we NEVER cut corners.
