We Didn't Just
Enter the Industry.
We Made It Better.
For over 60 years, KVP International has been the standard by which veterinary care products are measured — trusted by clinics, loved by pets, and chosen by the best in animal health.
Built on a
Better Standard.
In 1964, KVP International entered the veterinary marketplace with a single, bold idea: that animal care products could be better. Smarter. More reliable. More trusted by the professionals who depend on them every day.
That idea became the Saf-T-Shield™ Elizabethan Collar — widely praised by veterinarians and technicians as innovative, highly effective, and a great value. It set the standard for everything that followed.
Today, KVP is headquartered in McKinney, Texas, with multiple manufacturing facilities, global raw material sourcing, and daily international shipments. We are the veterinary industry leader in small animal wellness solutions — and we're just getting started.
