In his greenhouse in 1892 ...

.. a 25-year-old man called Bob Martin invented a conditioning powder for dogs. This was the result of his concern for the welfare of family pets and his invention led to the creation of a new market sector – pet healthcare – and to ‘Bob Martin’ becoming a household name.

Whilst working for a local veterinary practice, Bob Martin had become increasingly interested in basic health care for ordinary pet dogs. He constantly pestered his new employers with questions and visited local mining districts to talk about canine ills. Miners would show him their simple remedies and inspired him to conduct his own experiments.

By the age of 25, Bob Martin had the reputation for being able to cure any canine complaint and so launched the new conditioning powder. It was intended to supplement the poor diet endured by many dogs at the time and to ensure that every pet could be kept in peak condition.

These humble beginnings are at the heart and soul of what the Martin family continue to stand for over 125 years later; producing safe, effective and affordable pet healthcare for the UK and beyond.
