Pet care brand Beaphar is set to launch a new plant-based flea repellent spot-on called Vetopure.

The brand has been developed in response to Beapharโ€™s latest market research which demonstrated significant demand for a more natural solution within the flea category.

The research found that 39% of pet owners were actively looking for natural protection against fleas and 70% would consider purchasing a new flea treatment based on natural herbal ingredients.

As fleas will often infest a petโ€™s basket, bedding and regular resting areas, including carpets and soft furnishings, for best results, it is recommended that these areas are treated with a household insecticide, such as Beaphar Fleatec.

Claire Edmunds, Beaphar marketing manager, said: โ€œThe trend for more natural products is well established, our existing plant-based Spot-On range grew significantly in 2023 and online searches for natural flea products continue to grow year on year. We want to be able to offer a product that is well positioned to allow pet owners to choose a parasiticide that fits with their values, at the right price point โ€“ and more products in the range will follow soon.

โ€œThe parasiticide category is well served with products that kill fleas effectively. But not all meet the needs of consumers with a strong preference for more natural products. Vetopure offers retailers an opportunity to meet an unmet need and fill an important gap in a high-value category. The launch of the Vetopure flea repellent Spot-On means that retailers have an option for those seeking products with plant-based credentials from a trusted brand, at an affordable price.โ€
