Medicus have created the first ever therapeutic, freeze-dried whole food diets for sick pets.

The recipes were formulated and reviewed by veterinarians, Independent Veterinary Specialists, and Independent Nutrition Consultants.

Above that, each diet went through complete, comprehensive 3rd party testing. Several rounds of AAFCO Nutrient Profile testing ensured that both macro and micronutrient levels are tending to your pet’s specific nutritional needs.

All of our diets are freeze-dried and undergo a pasteurization process that eliminates any bacteria to be safe and shelf-stable for immunocompromised pets. The freeze-drying process is not only a safe and effective pasteurization process but also retains 97% of food’s original vitamins and minerals, meaning these diets are undeniably as close to fresh, whole foods as possible.
