Dixie Brands' soft chews to be sold by Vedco in U.S. 2019-05-30 08:49 ET - News Release Mr. C.J. Chapman reports THERABIS HEMP-BASED PET SUPPLEMENT SOFT CHEWS NOW AVAILABLE TO VETERINARIANS THROUGH DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT WITH VEDCO Vedco Inc. will begin distributing Therabis LLC's full-spectrum hemp-based, highly palatable, soft-chew supplements to its network of distributors which are the leading suppliers to veterinary clinics across the United States. Therabis is a subsidiary of Dixie Brands Inc. ("Dixie") (CSE: DIXI.U), (OTC: DXBRF), (Frankfurt: 0QV), one of the cannabis industry's leading consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies. Vedco is a logistics, sales and marketing provider of Animal Health products that is owned by many of the leading distributors in the US Animal Health Market and it creates a more efficient procurement infrastructure exclusively focused on servicing the veterinary channel. With a combined network of 98 distributor locations nationwide, Vedco is one of the country's largest veterinary suppliers with a client list that includes more than 30,000 clinics. "We are pleased to have been selected by Vedco as the first full-spectrum soft chew hemp supplier that they are offering to their distribution network," said Bob Rubin, President of Therabis. "Many pet owners rely on their veterinarian to recommend a product that best addresses their pet's specific ailment. We expect that our participation in that channel will help strengthen our leadership position both among veterinary patients and retail consumers in general." Therabis will introduce a series of new formulations of its products called "Therabis Veterinarian Formula," in recognition of the fact that pets requiring veterinary care are more likely to require stronger versions. These products will include higher concentrations of cannabinoids and other approved natural ingredients for more targeted therapeutic value in comparison to the formulations currently sold through retail and online channels. Therabis Veterinarian Formula versions will initially be available for the canine "Mobility" supplement, as well as both the canine and feline versions of the "Calming" stress relief products. Therabis will soon add other indication-specific veterinary formulas. "We are very excited about a full-spectrum, plant-based nutraceutical derived from hemp in a soft chew dosage form that veterinary hospitals can offer to their clients for overall pet wellness," said Craig Campbell, General Manager of Vedco, Inc. "We have looked closely at Therabis products and we are pleased to showcase them to our full national distribution network." Veterinarians are highly influential in recommending therapeutic products for pet owners. According to Packaged Facts, veterinarians are the most important source of pet care information for 70% of dog and cat owners, far surpassing any other source and more than doubling online research. The American Veterinary Medical Association recognizes nutraceutical therapy as important as part of their guidelines related to complimentary or alternative medicine. The nutraceutical market has been estimated by Grand View Research to exceed $2 billion in the U.S. The multi-year distribution agreement provides Vedco with exclusive rights to the veterinary channel for Therabis Veterinarian Formula. Therabis expects to begin shipping its enhanced formulation products to Vedco in June, with product widely available in clinics beginning in July.
