From principle to practice: Vet Way’s approach to sustainable veterinary care
Based in Yorkshire, Vet Way has been at the forefront of manufacturing and distributing high-quality veterinary-grade chemicals and consumables for over 25 years. Their ongoing commitment to excellence has made Vet Way the preferred brand among veterinary professionals, and they are dedicated to supporting the needs of practices while prioritising sustainability and affordability.
A practical approach for veterinary practices
Vet Way recognises that no two practices are the same, and that day-to-day pressures require solutions that are reliable, straightforward and fit seamlessly into existing ways of working. Their focus is on developing products that support clinical teams in delivering consistent, high-quality care, while also helping to improve efficiency behind the scenes.
This practical, end-user focus ensures that products are designed with real veterinary environments in mind. Whether used in practice or out on the farm, Vet Way solutions are built to meet the demands of busy teams.
At the heart of Vet Way operation is their dedication to maintaining a sustainable supply chain. They collaborate with UK manufacturing partners, laboratories, and raw material suppliers to ensure that their products not only meet rigorous quality standards but also contribute positively to the environment.
Their use of recyclable packaging and focus on batch traceability for all formulations exemplifies their commitment to responsible manufacturing practices, while reinforcing the strength and integrity of their UK-based supply chain.
In an era where environmental concerns are increasingly at the forefront of everyone’s minds, the Vet Way initiative is to minimise their ecological footprint and align with their customers environmental values.
By supporting local businesses and prioritising sustainable practices, they contribute to both the resilience of the veterinary supply chain and the wider UK economy, ensuring that their products are safe, reliable and produced with both the planet and animal welfare in mind.
Sustainable product hero
Eco Herd Kit
That focus on practical, sustainable solutions is reflected in Vet Way’s latest innovation, the Eco Herd Kit, an evolution of a long-standing and trusted product within large animal practice.
Evolving from the classic Vet Way Veterinary Field Kit, originally designed and patented in the late 1990s, the new Eco Herd Kit combines high-quality design with an environmentally conscious approach. The development builds on decades of experience in creating reliable, compliant solutions for veterinary professionals, while responding to the growing need for more sustainable alternatives.
The Eco Herd Kit maintains the same stringent standards that have made Vet Way a trusted name in veterinary supplies. It is fully compliant with UN3373 packaging regulations, ensuring the safe transport of biological substances. However, what sets this new kit apart is its commitment to sustainability. The packaging is crafted from recyclable materials, marking a significant step forward in Vet Way’s mission to reduce environmental impact.
For large animal practices, where herd health kits are a routine part of day-to-day work, small changes in product design can have a meaningful cumulative impact. By introducing more sustainable materials into a familiar and widely used product, Vet Way is helping practices take a practical step towards reducing their environmental footprint, without changing the way they work.
The Eco Herd Kit is a testament to our commitment to innovation and sustainability, providing veterinary practices with a greener alternative in an industry where such options are often limited”
As they move forward, Vet Way remains committed to providing veterinary practices across the UK with the high-quality products they need to deliver exceptional care. Their focus on sustainability, quality, and customer service sets them apart, and they are proud to be a partner that veterinary professionals can rely on.
