Our food appear in French veterinary clinics
Since the beginning of the 1990s, we have been present in French veterinary clinics. Practitioners and pet owners then discover Imperial dog, followed by Imperial cat (1997), our first formulas developed to accompany cats and dogs throughout their lives. A few years later, Virbac Consult diet is born, bringing together specific formulations for animals with health problems.

Animal nutrition knowledge evolves, and so is our food!
Vet Complex succeeds to Imperial dog. With their dog (2001) and cat (2003) formulas, our new physiological and dietetic recipes are enriched with nutrients which contribute to the health of the animal. Our dietetic range of food then allows us to answer 80% of cats and dogs’ health problems. In parallel, our production teams perfect their manufacturing techniques and in 2003, our production unit in Camargue obtains ISO 9001 quality certification.

New innovation impulse
We are strengthening our team of experts in animal nutrition to go further in taking into account the nutritional needs of animals. They all work together to design and develop feeds that provide more protein and less carbohydrate. Their commitment and know-how will give birth, five years later, to our new Veterinary HPM^® range.

A key innovation to better meet the nutritional needs of carnivores
After 5 years of development, our Veterinary HPM^® cats and dogs foods make their first appearance with physiological formulas for small and large dogs and for sterilized cats and dogs. Formulated with respect for the nature of domestic carnivores following the low-carbohydrate, high-protein concept (90% of which is of animal origin), they were completed two years later by a dietetic range of foods to meet the nutritional needs related to specific health disorders.

Our dog and cat food is also available online
While the practitioner remains, as in our origins, at the heart of our approach to animal nutrition, we are adapting to the new needs of pet owners. Starting in 2017, we are opening our first online stores, first in Japan and then in Germany, Poland, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, Denmark and Sweden.

Veterinary HPM^® now also in chunks in gravy
Cats' urinary health is fragile. To support it, our teams developed two wet foods that encourage hydration, satiety, and an ideal urinary pH. These can be used alone or as a complement to our dedicated dry foods.

A new lease of life for animal nutrition
Ten years after its launch, our Veterinary HPM^® physiological food range is getting a makeover to better meet the changing expectations of veterinarians and dog and cat owners: recyclable packaging, new design, optimized formulas, etc. Our commitment remains the same: to advance animal health through high-quality nutrition, based on science and innovation.

Our international development continues
Following the successful launch of our physiological range in March 2023, it is now the turn of our dietary range to be introduced to the Indian market. Veterinarians and pet owners in India now have access to our complete nutritional solution, designed to improve the health of cats and dogs.
