VioVet Ltd was founded in 2006 by Luke Cousins, the then 16-year-old son of a successful St Albans-based vet and veterinary nurse. The business was initially an experiment to help the family's veterinary practice sell medication and feeds online following a change to the laws governing the sale of prescription medications. Since then VioVet Ltd has grown tremendously and is now one of the UK's lar
gest and most trusted veterinary supplies retailers, outgrowing two warehouses before settling in Luton in 2013. In April 2015, VioVet was acquired by Pethealth Inc, a Fairfax company based in Ontario, Canada. The company now employs over 100 staff members and distributes to thousands of pet owners each month, including a number of international customers.
