As people and as pet owners, VetsRef’s goal is to have products that solve problems without having a long list of side effects or warnings. This led us to essential oils. Like anything “powerful”, essential oils must be formulated properly to be beneficial. Our formulas are time tested, free from side effects and, natural.

Our goal has been to help pet owners- for both ourselves and our customers, to have chemical-free, effective products that solve common pet-related problems. We feel that saying something is “natural” does not mean that they are any less effective.

We found that essential oils can be more effective than “man made” ingredients. We feel the reason more companies don’t use essential oils is the cost. It takes a great deal of each plant to distill down to the essential oils. This provides not only the “active ingredients” that scientists may discover, but the rest of the natural plant essence.

Most of what is left is rarely studied individually, mainly due to costs. It costs a lot of money to study- but if the company putting up the money can’t get a patent, those studies are frequently never begun.

So, simply put, nature is generally not patentable- so no one will spend the money to figure out everything an essential oil can do if there is no way to recoup the money spent.

We have all seen references to “Eastern Medicine” and “Western Medicine.” An oversimplified way to view the difference is that Eastern Medicine acknowledges that natural things can have repeatable effects on people and pets.

“Western Medicine” seemingly is limited by legal and regulatory limitations so we in “the West” end up relying on “drugs” that have been through the regulatory and legal hoops versus believing that, using our Membrane Mobility product as an example, the membrane in an eggshell can help people and pets although “western science” acknowledges that that same membrane is critical for chicks to form joints, skin and feathers.
