Animal healthcare in India has grown into a serious, organized industry over the last two decades — driven by rising pet ownership, growing dairy and livestock farming, and a stronger focus on preventive veterinary care. Among the companies serving this space, Zee Laboratories Ltd. has built two dedicated veterinary divisions — Vetlife and Petbest — that together cover the full spectrum of animal health, from large livestock to household pets.
This post looks at who Zee Laboratories is, what Vetlife and Petbest offer, and why the two divisions have found a place with veterinary distributors and franchise partners across India.
About Zee Laboratories Ltd.
Zee Laboratories was founded in 1993–94 in Karnal, Haryana, and has since grown into a WHO-GMP certified pharmaceutical manufacturer with multiple production units in Haryana and Himachal Pradesh. Beyond human pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and herbal products, the company runs a dedicated Veterinary vertical split into two specialty divisions — Vetlife and Petbest — each targeting a different segment of the animal healthcare market.
Vetlife: Built for Livestock and Large Animal Care
Vetlife is Zee Laboratories’ veterinary range aimed largely at livestock, cattle, and large-animal practice — the segment that matters most to dairy farmers, cattle breeders, and rural veterinary practitioners. The range is broad and spans several product categories:
- Bolus/Tablets — anthelmintics (dewormers) like Albendazole and Fenbendazole boluses, pain and fever combinations (Meloxicam + Paracetamol), antibiotics, calcium and mineral supplement boluses, and fertility support kits.
- Injections — a large portfolio covering antibiotics (Enrofloxacin, Ceftriaxone, Amoxycillin-Cloxacillin, Ceftiofur), anti-inflammatories (Meloxicam), vitamin and mineral injectables (Vitamin A/D3/E/H combinations, B-complex, calcium), antihistamines, and hormonal injections.
- Oral Powders & Dry Syrups — multivitamin and protein powders formulated for bulk livestock feeding.
- Liquids — dewormer suspensions, liver-support tonics, and vitamin/mineral liquid supplements available in sizes up to bulk 6-litre packs for farm use.
- External Preparations, Soaps & Shampoos — antiseptic and anti-parasitic external care products.
- Eye/Ear Drops and a growing list of newly launched products, including long-acting oxytetracycline, gentamicin injections, and buparvaquone.
The range is clearly designed for practitioners who need dependable, farm-scale solutions — deworming, infection control, nutritional supplementation, and reproductive support — backed by consistent packaging formats suited to veterinary clinics and cattle farms.
Petbest: Focused on Companion Animal Care
Where Vetlife leans toward livestock, Petbest is Zee Laboratories’ division built for companion animals — dogs, cats, and other household pets. Its catalogue reads much more like a pet-clinic and grooming product line:
- Soaps — antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-tick/flea medicated soaps (with ingredients like sulphur, neem, permethrin, and ketoconazole).
- Shampoos — anti-tick, anti-lice, antidandruff, and coat-conditioning shampoos, including a tea-tree-oil formulation.
- Dry Shampoos — no-rinse options in lemon and lavender variants for quick grooming.
- Ointments, Lotions & Sprays — skin infection and antiseptic preparations, including povidone-iodine based options.
- Eye/Ear Drops — combination antibiotic-steroid drops for common ear and eye infections in pets.
- Liquids & Syrups — multivitamin syrups, liver-support formulas, deworming suspensions, and antispasmodic drops.
- Tablets — combination dewormers and pain/fever tablets formulated specifically for pets.
- Injections — antibiotics, vitamin B12, anti-emetics, and antacid injections in pet-appropriate dosing formats.
Together, this gives veterinary clinics and pet-care retailers a one-stop range covering grooming, parasite control, nutrition, and common illness management for pets.
Why Vetlife & Petbest Stand Out
1. Full-spectrum coverage. Between the two divisions, Zee Laboratories covers both ends of the animal healthcare market — commercial livestock and household pets — under one WHO-GMP certified manufacturing umbrella.
2. Manufacturing backed by scale. Zee operates multiple state-of-the-art production units and has an established national and international distribution footprint, which supports consistent product availability for veterinary partners.
3. Broad, well-organized product catalogues. Both Vetlife and Petbest offer clearly categorized ranges — from boluses and injections to shampoos and eye drops — making it easier for stockists, veterinary clinics, and franchise partners to source what they need from a single supplier.
4. Franchise and distribution opportunities. Like Zee Laboratories’ other specialty divisions, Vetlife and Petbest are available through PCD Franchise Partnerships, giving distributors monopoly-basis territory rights along with promotional support.
A Word on Responsible Use
Many products across the Vetlife and Petbest ranges are prescription veterinary medicines — antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, hormonal preparations, and anthelmintics among them. As with any animal medication, dosing and treatment decisions should always be made by a qualified veterinarian based on the specific animal’s condition, species, weight, and health history, rather than through self-medication.
The Takeaway
Zee Laboratories has positioned Vetlife and Petbest as complementary divisions covering India’s two major animal healthcare segments: livestock/large-animal care through Vetlife, and companion-pet care through Petbest. For veterinary distributors, clinics, and franchise partners looking for a manufacturer with a broad catalogue and established WHO-GMP manufacturing credentials, the two divisions offer a fairly comprehensive one-stop option in the animal healthcare space.
For the current product list, packaging details, and franchise inquiries, it’s best to check directly with Zee Laboratories Ltd. through their official channels, as veterinary product ranges are updated periodically.
