Veterinary Products Laboratories

Veterinary Products Laboratories (VPL) was a prominent developer and marketer of animal health products specifically designed for the professional veterinary market. The company offered a comprehensive portfolio that included wound management supplies, nutritional supplements, dermatological treatments, and parasiticides for companion animals. VPL was well-known for brands such as DVM Pharmaceuticals and Synovi joint health supplements. Originally a division of Farnam Companies under Central Garden & Pet, the VPL business and its product assets were acquired by Dechra Pharmaceuticals in 2014. This acquisition allowed Dechra to significantly expand its footprint in the North American veterinary surgical and dermatological sectors.
