About VBL

Vedros BioscienceLaboratories was founded in 1991 by Professor Emeritus Neylan Vedros, PhD, U.C. Berkeley. After 25 years of research on medicinal plant extracts for use in humans, Dr. Vedros and his veterinary colleagues began to develop unique plant extract formulations for use on domestic pet animals.

The first topical spray formulation was shown to relieve symptoms of inflammation and pain, inhibit the important bacteria, fungi, and yeasts associated with "hot spots" and is particularly effective for ring worm in cats. The basic ingredients in the spray were included with other extracts in shampoo concentrates formulated specifically for older dogs, cats/kittens, and puppies. Using a combination of 8 plant extracts, a unique moisturiser, lanolin based hair detangler, and insect repellent was developed under the name Comfi-Spray.

More recently, VBL has expanded its product line to include 3 new products for caged birds: anti-pick and mite-repellent sprays, and a gel for inflamed feet. In addition, a spray for skin irritations, particularly "rain scald" in horses and a therapeutic equine shampoo was introduced plus an effective all-natural ear cleanser for dogs and cats, and a spray for mite infestations in reptiles and amphibians.

VBL is dedicated to working only with natural, medicinal plant extracts that are safe, non-toxic and friendly to the environment. Research continues on other unique plant extract formulations for topical use on minor skin diseases in a variety of animals.
