Meet the Formulators
Franco Cavaleri, BSc PhD Molecular Neuromedicine is a biochemist from UBC who worked with veterinarians in the Vancouver, BC, area to formulate the products with the help of nutrigenomics research into pet health and nutrition. The formulators have published well-researched articles in journals such as the Canadian Journal of Veterinary Research, as well as a book on canine health titled Potential Within: Your dog’s health, a Natural Guide to health, happiness and harmony for your canine companion.
Ken Cowan, our BiologicVET brand manager, also worked to update the formulas with Flora’s Quality Assurance department. Updates included using Flora’s organic flax and sunflower meal as the fiber base as well as adding bromelain to the BioSKIN&COAT formula and updating the sourcing of the BioFATS fish oil to Icelandic sources.
Currently, the BiologicVET line consists of four product formulas: BioVITES, BioSKIN&COAT, BioFATS, and BioJOINT. Stay tuned for future formulations as we aim to expand into other areas of pet health in the near future!
