VetCS | Plant To Pet

One of the biggest differences between VetCS and other pet CBD companies is how hands-on we are in creating our products. When we say "from plant to pet," we mean it. It starts with the relationships we build with the farmers who grow our hemp, continues with the careful processing of that hemp, and culminates in the formulation of the products your pets and horses love—all crafted in our lab in Loveland, Colorado.

This year, VetCS partnered with Painted Lady Farms in Paonia, Colorado, to grow the high-quality hemp we use in our products. Paonia, located in west-central Colorado in the North Fork Valley of the Rocky Mountains, sits at an elevation of 5,682 feet. The area is renowned for its rich, volcanic soil, abundant irrigation water from the Gunnison River, and a mild climate that supports a variety of crops. These ideal growing conditions make Paonia a premier location for cultivating high-quality hemp and other agricultural products.

Once the hemp was harvested late last summer, VetCS brought 2,000 pounds of hemp to our lab in Loveland, Colorado, where we prepared the hemp for its transformation into the high-quality full-spectrum CBD we use in our products. For an in-depth understanding of cannabis extraction and how we do it at the VetCS lab, check out this article from VetCS’s own Trish Wilhelm. In a nutshell, cannabis extraction is the process of isolating beneficial compounds like cannabinoids and terpenes from the hemp plant to create products like ours.

Once the extraction process is complete, our Senior Lab Director, Tara Dorr, works her magic to craft each VetCS formulation. She ensures that every product undergoes rigorous testing to verify potency, purity, and quality, so you can trust exactly what’s in each product. This meticulous attention to detail guarantees safe and effective solutions for your pets and horses.
