The story of Vetoquinol began in 1933, in Lure, in northeastern France. At that time, Joseph Frechin, a visionary pharmacist, developed a revolutionary oxyquinoline-based antiseptic to treat animals. This product, which gave its name to the company, marked the start of a veterinary pharmaceutical success story. Vetoquinol soon began to specialize in the design and production of medicines for animals, meeting the growing needs of veterinarians and breeders.
From the 1970s onwards, the company experienced dazzling growth. Its catalog expanded to more than 250 therapeutic solutions, covering fields as varied as dermatology, reproduction, cardiology and antiparasitics. This diversification has enabled Vetoquinol to establish its reputation on the French market, and to embark on its first phase of international expansion.
Vetoquinol 's international expansion took off in the 1980s, with the opening of subsidiaries in the Netherlands, Ireland and Belgium. This expansion intensified in the following decades:
Today, Vetoquinol is present in 24 countries, with over 2,500 employees and a worldwide network of 60 distributors. This strategic geographic presence enables the brand to be as close as possible to veterinarians and breeders, guaranteeing rapid distribution and optimal product follow-up.
For almost a century, Vetoquinol has been committed to developing innovative solutions to improve the quality of life of animals and simplify the work of veterinarians and breeders. Its ambition can be summed up in one strong mission: "To enrich people's lives by devoting ourselves to the health and well-being of animals."
This commitment translates into a lasting relationship of trust with industry professionals. By listening carefully to market needs and focusing on innovation, Vetoquinol designs treatments that are effective, safe and easy to administer.
