Vetafarm has a passion to produce health solutions that directly improve the quality of life for all animals, while educating and understanding their human caretakers.
Vetafarm was inspired from the passion of two veterinarians who innovated new solutions to medical issues that had no existing treatments.
In 1990, Vetafarm registered the world’s first Psittacosis treatment – Australia’s first companion bird medicine!
Dr Tony Gestier took sole ownership of Vetafarm and began developing even more innovative solutions for animals of all kinds – small animals, reptiles, dogs & cats, zoo, marine and more. Today, our team is built of over 60 passionate people and we have developed over 400 speciality animal products - and we’re just getting started.
We pride ourselves on our passionate team and our desire to innovate and apply quality in all that we do. Our work allows us the privilege of connecting people with their animals – from pet owners, veterinarians, carers and animal lovers everywhere.
