Giving pets supplements sounds simple until the powder is left in the bowl, the pill is spit out, or the daily routine becomes too complicated to maintain. In pet health, even a good product is limited if owners cannot administer it consistently.
In this episode of the Veterinary Innovation Podcast, Shawn Wilkie and Dr. Ivan Zak speak with Anthony Gatti, co-founder and CEO of PetPax Co., about rethinking supplement delivery.
Anthony explains how SupplaMelts® use buccal delivery, with thin films placed above a dog’s gum line to enable nutraceutical ingredients to be absorbed through the oral mucosa. The format is designed to simplify administration, avoid unnecessary calories, and reduce the friction associated with pills, powders, and functional treats.
The conversation also covers current applications in calming and dental care, the ongoing development of feline-friendly formats, and the longer-term potential for buccal delivery for use with veterinary pharmaceuticals.
