FOUNDING STORY
We build a bridge between nutrition and medication.
"Growing up surrounded by nature and with a deep passion for horses, I've always been dedicated to their well-being.
As a vet, I saw a need for a more natural and holistic approach in veterinary care. Despite their side effects, treatments like NSAIDs, antibiotics, and cortisone were overused.
Through extensive research, I discovered that addressing nutritional deficiencies with herbal nutraceuticals supports optimal health in horses. I saw the benefits firsthand with my horse, Cata, and my dog, Babouche. When I couldn't find the right supplements, I developed them myself.
Natural supplements bridge the gap between nutrition and medication. Proper nutrition is the foundation of health; medication treats diseases, but supplements restore nutrient imbalances to maintain optimal health in the long run.
By harnessing the power of nature, we can ensure our horses and pets enjoy the best possible health and vitality."

SCIENCE-BACKED FORMULATIONS
Carefully selected ingredients formulated by vets
At Curafyt we put science first when it comes to horse and dog health. We work with vets and animal experts who really know their stuff about horses and dogs. They help us make products that are good for your animals.
We look at how horses' and dogs' bodies work as a whole, not just one part at a time. It's like taking care of a car - you can't just focus on the engine and forget about the wheels!
Think of your pet's health like a bucket with four holes in it. Some companies might try to fix just one hole with whatever's popular at the moment. But we plug all four holes. This means we work on different parts of your horse's or dog's health at the same time, to keep them feeling good in the long run.
THE HIGHEST QUALITY STANDARDS
We prioritize quality at every step, from top-tier ingredients to meticulous manufacturing.
Curafyt supplements are manufactured in European facilities certified with ISO 22000, FCA (GMP+), and organic standards. Every batch is tested for the presence of prohibited substances in a specialized laboratory in France, ensuring our products carry a Clean Sport label.
"I am incredibly grateful that over 600 fellow veterinarians are now helping to support our mission for a more natural and healthier approach to animal health."

VETERINARY GUIDANCE
We integrate veterinary expertise with natural supplements for holistic animal health.
Supplements are just one piece of the health puzzle. They should never be seen as a replacement for a good basic diet, nor are they a substitute for medication. The advice of our veterinarians is crucial in the correct use and recommendation of natural supplements as an essential component of a comprehensive approach.
We're proud to collaborate with over 600 veterinarians across Europe, ensuring widespread professional support for our approach. For personalized guidance, you can also connect with our in-house veterinarian or nutritionist through our live chat feature, making expert advice readily accessible.
SUSTAINABILITY
By prioritizing the health of both animals and the planet, we're working towards a more sustainable future for all.
CO2 neutral office building
Our dedication to environmental responsibility starts with our CO2 neutral office building, which minimizes our carbon footprint.
Fully recyclable packaging
We've invested significant time and effort in researching sustainable packaging options for our products. While glass might seem like an eco-friendly choice at first glance, our pet (polyethylene terephthalate) packaging actually proves to be more sustainable in several ways:
- Mono-material advantage: Our packaging uses mono plastic (PET), which is fully recyclable, unlike mixed-material packaging.
- Lower carbon footprint: PET is lighter than glass, requiring less energy for transportation and thus reducing our overall carbon footprint.
- Durability and safety: PET is shatter-resistant, and safe to use in horse environments.
- Pharmaceutical grade quality: To ensure the highest quality and safety of our products, we use pharmaceutical grade packaging. This stringent requirement limits our ability to use purely paper-based alternatives.
We're aware that some packaging options may appear more natural or eco-friendly on the surface. However, these can sometimes be examples of 'greenwashing' - for instance, packaging that uses paper on the outside but contains plastic or foil on the inside. Such mixed materials are often more difficult to recycle than our mono plastic solution.
Our choice of PET packaging represents the most sustainable option currently available that also meets our high standards for product quality and safety. We continue to monitor developments in sustainable packaging and remain committed to adopting even more eco-friendly solutions as they become viable for our specific needs.
Maintaining Animal Health to Combat Antibiotic Resistance
Natural supplements and healthy nutrition play a vital role in maintaining animal health, potentially reducing the need for antibiotics and helping combat antibiotic resistance. However, these supplements complement, not replace, necessary medical treatments including prescribed antibiotics. They form part of a comprehensive approach to animal health, aiming to improve overall well-being and minimize intervention needs.
