If you'd like to take a walk down memory lane, here are some of our memorable milestones we're super proud of...
2017
- As most people already know, VPL began with the search for a non-GMO, toxin-free remedy for our dog Tuxedo's dry skin and coat. Kyle and I began researching and formulating safe, toxin-free solutions beginning with our Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil. Tuxedo’s dramatic improvement inspired us to start our business.
- We launch our 16oz Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil. Having it produced from wild salmon caught off the coast of Alaska, ensures the best quality for salmon oil supplements.
2018
- 32oz Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil was launched!
2019
- This is a growth year for us at Vital Pet Life. Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil is gaining popularity among pet owners and our VPL community.

It contains Oatmeal, Aloe Vera, and Jojoba Oil, all natural compounds that help moisturize and soften pets’ coats keeping them velvety, shiny, and smooth.
