Our Approach
Our Approach
The staff at Pharmavet are passionate about what they do. They take pride in their work and most of the staff have been in the manufacturing industry for a long time. The staff here have either completed, or are currently enrolled in and studying, a certificate III in process manufacturing. This ensures that all GMP (good manufacturing practice ) criteria are strictly adhered to.
Our Story
Our Story
Pharmavet started only as recently as 2015. Whilst still practicing as a vet, Rishi saw an opportunity to make a bigger impact on the pet loving community, and to make an impact on the local economy by taking on a local manufacturing plant. To date we contract manufacture for 20+ local companies (including some well known major brands), and we have two brands own, where we can start to make a difference at the human/pet level.
