About us

NutraPet.vet is the first veterinary nutraceutical web portal dedicated to professionals, practitioners, and anyone who wants to keep up-to-date on the role of functional nutrition.

The numerous scientific studies published every day testify to the very serious nature of this field. And equally numerous are the possible practical spin-offs: the nutrients being researched can modulate specific functions of the body, reduce the risk of disease in healthy animals, rebalance nutritional deficiencies, or improve normal physiological functions.

Nutraceutics is an extremely innovative and evolving field, even in the veterinary field. Simple or dietary complementary feeds, still confused with supplements, are at the center of a real revolution.

In the word “nutraceutical,” which comes from the fusion of “nutrition” and “pharmaceutical,” is encapsulated the meaning of Hippocrates’ dating back to the fifth century B.C.: “Let food be your medicine and your medicine be your food.”

Today we know that the Father of Medicine’s famous insight not only has a sound scientific basis. But we are learning that it also applies to animals.

Hence the need to facilitate the work of veterinary physicians and all those interested by providing constant updates of the most relevant scientific news.

With a journalistic slant, for faster fruition. But always with the rigor to verify sources and with scrupulous language. Because the quality of information is of great importance, especially in veterinary medicine. Not surprisingly, in every piece of content, you will also always find an indication of the source, that is, the published study.

Not only that. NutraPet.vet is also training. There is a lot of news, and often the information from individual studies is fragmentary. This is inevitable: scientific research proceeds in small steps. Data after data, trial after trial, at some point there is a need to make “sense” of this knowledge, putting together the strongest evidence in a training course.

NutraPet.vet is a publishing project of Clorofilla Srl that aims to provide correct and documented scientific information on what is related to nutraceuticals and supplementation mainly for dogs and cats, horses or other companion animals.
