Pet Naturals of Vermont
Background
For over three decades, FoodScience Corporation has been a leader in the research and development of high quality animal health products. Pet Naturals® of Vermont, a division of FSC, produces only the purest, most reliable formulas to “help pets live healthier lives.”
NASC
The National Animal Supplement Council (NASC) was established to work with the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) and the FDA to resolve product regulation issues for companion animals. The NASC seal on Pet Naturals labels guarantees your customers that the product meets the organization's guidelines for quality, integrity and truth in labeling. Dr. Roger Kendall, Pet Naturals Vice President of Research and Development, and Dale Metz, Pet Naturals CEO, are NASC founding members.
As part of the NASC executive team, Mr. Metz is also involved in working with the FDA and the Center of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) to establish new policy guidelines for animal health products. Dr. Kendall is the Chair of the NASC Scientific Advisory Committee. In addition, both have played an instrumental role in the development of the NASC Compliance Plus Program. This program sets guidelines for product labels, adverse event reporting protocols and quality control standards, as well as providing guidance for industry-directed research. At present, the NASC represents 65% of the animal health product manufacturers in the United States.

The Results of Our Research
Pet Naturals formulas are the result of extensive research and development by Dr. Kendall as well as the collective efforts of our product development team. Our research focuses on the complex relationships that exist among available components that together promote wellness and support health. From these insights, Pet Naturals has been able to create some of the most significant products in the animal industry. Moreover, FoodScience Corporation, our parent company, has conducted extensive research into the exciting properties of N,N-Dimethylglycine (DMG), significantly broadening the boundaries of knowledge about this metabolic intermediate.
Pet Naturals has always utilized feedback from veterinarians in our ongoing mission to improve the efficacy and reliability of our product line. In 2005, the Veterinarian Advisory Board was established to help design new Pet Naturals products for our ever-expanding portfolio and to review existing products.
