Why are you now collecting sales tax?
Companies who sell products directly to consumers must collect and remit sales tax to individual states and jurisdictions when specific thresholds are met. FoodScience (VetriScience Laboratories parent company) has met these thresholds in many states, so now must collect and remit sales tax.
Will sales tax be charged on a state-by-state basis?
Sales tax is based on the tax rate in the state/jurisdiction that the order is shipped to.
How will sales tax be calculated?
Sales tax is calculated based on the tax rate within the state or different jurisdictions within that state if applicable. In states where we collect sales tax, direct-to-consumer orders will now include the calculated sales tax based on the total order.

Dosing instructions located on the back of the package or bottle and on each of our product pages.

Where are your ingredients sourced from?
Ingredients used in VetriScience® supplements are sourced in the U.S. and globally but the origin can vary depending on availability. Our ingredient suppliers must undergo a rigorous application process to ensure their raw materials meet our strict quality standards. All of our ingredients are third-party tested to guarantee quality and purity prior to manufacturing in our SQF-certified facility. VetriScience® products are formulated to comply with regulations set forth by The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) and National Animal Supplement Council (NASC).
Are your products made in the USA?
Our products have been manufactured from our facilities in Vermont for nearly 40 years. Our manufacturing facilities are SQF-certified and strictly adhere to NASC guidelines and Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) as defined by the Food and Drug Administration.
What should I do if your product made my pet sick or they consumed too much?
We take poor reactions to our products very seriously. Since our products are supplements, they’re typically well-tolerated by cats and dogs. However, if your pet had too many, they may experience digestive upset since the high nutrient levels in products can be too rich for their stomach. If our products made your pet sick, please contact our customer care team to 1-800-882-9993 report this issue so we can further assist you with this matter. If you have more immediate concerns, please contact your veterinarian immediately as soon as possible.

Increasing your pet’s dose is not recommended unless specifically noted on the packaging. However, it’s suitable to increase your pet’s amount of Composure™ during times of heightened stress.

My product was exposed to extreme heat during shipping and delivery. Is it still safe?
