Our pets rely on us to give them more than just love and affection. It’s our job to supply them with the proper nutrients that help them live their best lives. Vital® was developed to do just that. Our beneficial recipes are crafted with your pet’s health and unique needs in mind.
we keep health top of mind
We want to deliver the best option to your pet’s bowl. That’s why we use ingredients like bison and wild Alaskan pollock for dogs with particular allergies, and antioxidant-rich fruit, like blueberries, to support a healthy immune system.
