Headed by World-Renowned Herbalist Greg Tilford
The president of Animal Essentials, Greg Tilford, is an exceptional herbalist who has also worked also a veterinary industry consultant and educational lecturer (including at several schools of veterinary medicine) on natural and holistic pet care. He’s written five books, including Herbs for Pets, a staff training resource in Mud Bay stores for over a decade.
Partners with Mud Bay to Create Our First Line of Herbal Supplements
Mud Bay has sold Animal Essentials products for over ten years, so when Mud Bay decided to launch our first line of herbal supplements, we knew Greg Tilford would be a strong partner. Working with our own veterinary advisor and Greg, we created a unique line of supplements that would address the most essential problems that pet owners might face. These include allergies, joint health, general health support, urinary health, and digestive health. All of the products contain 100-percent human-grade ingredients and are sustainably sourced from mostly North American suppliers that have been thoroughly vetted.
