FAQ

**Where are your products made?**

VetriScience’ products are manufactured in the United States. However, we source the raw material for our products from both inside and outside the United States. Our raw material suppliers acquire high quality ingredients from all over the world. Depending on our needs and current market supplies, a particular raw material may be from 1 country in 1 batch, and from another country in another batch. For our raw materials, we require a Certificate of Analysis, which documents the quality, purity, and potency. This qualifies each raw material before accepting it for production.Our parent company – FoodScience’ Corporation – is certified to operate under current Good Manufacturing Processes (cGMP) protocols. Under these protocols, we require that each ingredient in a formula be supplied with the respective Certificate of Analysis. This means that the supplier is required to test the ingredient for contaminants, such as heavy metals, microorganisms, and other physical or chemical parameters unique to the ingredient, before the ingredient is shipped. Any raw materials that do not meet our specifications are sent back to the supplier. Upon receipt of a raw material, it is tested for potency and other parameters outlined in the ingredient’s specification sheet. Test results are compared against the established specifications.

**Is it ok the double the recommended dose if I feel that my animal needs stronger/better support?**

Please follow all dosing instructions stated on our packaging. VetriScience’ calculates our dosing strength according to the animal’s weight. Never increase dosing on a nutritional supplement without discussing it with your vet first.

Consult your veterinarian to determine the best vitamins and supplements for your furry friend.
