Frequently asked questions
Who owns Vetio Animal Health?
Vetio is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Swedencare AB (publ), a pet healthcare company listed on Nasdaq First North Growth Market in Stockholm, Sweden. Swedencare acquired Vetio (then operating as Tropichem) in 2021, according to the firm's website. The parent company's product portfolio includes brands such as NaturVet, nutravet, and ProDen PlaqueOff.
What is Vetio's core business?
Vetio operates as a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) exclusively for animal health products. It offers services from product development and formulation through to commercial manufacturing, analytical testing, and technical transfers. The firm's finished dose forms include tablets, soft chews, spot-ons, and dermatology topicals.
Does Vetio invest in external companies or funds?
No. Vetio is a CDMO, not an investment firm. It does not deploy capital into third-party funds or direct investments. The firm's financial structure is tied to its parent Swedencare, which is publicly traded and reports consolidated financials.
Where are Vetio's facilities located?
Vetio's headquarters is in St. Louis, Missouri. It operates additional facilities in Jupiter, Florida (focused on supplement manufacturing, R&D, and warehousing) and Montreal, Quebec (liquid and semi-solid manufacturing). The Jupiter site underwent a 35,000-square-foot expansion completed in December 2021.
What is Vetio's patent situation for soft chews?
In June 2022, Vetio received an Intention to Grant from the European Patent Office and a Notice of Allowance from the US Patent Office for its starch-free soft chew technology for veterinary applications. This indicates the firm has proprietary intellectual property in animal health dosage forms.
Does Vetio work with cannabis-based veterinary products?
Yes. In February 2020, Vetio (then operating as Tropichem) was awarded a Cannabis Research License from Health Canada and began development of cannabis-based veterinary drug products at its Montreal facility, per the firm's website. The current status of that program is not publicly updated.
Is Vetio a family office?
No. Vetio is a CDMO subsidiary of a publicly-traded company, not a family office. It does not manage capital for wealthy individuals or families. Its AUM and deployment figures are undisclosed.
