Animal health

The global veterinary medicines market is growing fast, notably with parasiticides and anti-infectives products. At Gattefossé, we are proud to develop excipients for animal health applications, including oral, topical, transdermal, and injectable forms, aimed for both companion and food-producing animals.

Committing to the One Health approach

The One Health approach recognizes that the health of humans, animals, and ecosystems are interconnected and promotes collaborative efforts across various disciplines to achieve optimal health outcomes. At Gattefossé, our motto “Advancing science for well-being” makes no distinction between human and animal health, and we are convinced in the benefits of improving veterinary health via high-quality medicines.

Injectable delivery

Parenteral administration is a convenient dosage form for veterinarians. Intravenous delivery is ideal for a quick onset of action, while intramuscular or subcutaneous injections allow to modulate the drug release in time. This route is widely used for antibiotics and anti-inflammatories. Discover our star product, Transcutol® V, a powerful solvent with well-known stability and safety.

Oral delivery

Oral dosage forms for animals are very diversified and will be species dependent. With Gattefossé excipients, it is for example possible to formulate solid dosage forms such as soft chews and tablets, semi-solid dosage forms such as pastes and gels, or liquids like solutions and suspensions.

Topical delivery

Many topical dosage forms exist for veterinary medicines, such as spot-ons, pour-ons, creams, ointments and solid forms like patches, or collars. A local or systemic action can be achieved depending on the therapeutic effect desired and the excipients used. At Gattefossé, we offer a variety of solubilizers, chemical penetration enhancers and texture agents to design tailored formulations for food-producing or companion animals.
