The nature of pigeons, and the environment in which they live, means that they are susceptible to disease and ailments. However, racing pigeons are performance animals, and only healthy racing pigeons win races. Around the world, the sport of pigeon racing is one that has a very passionate following from those that partake in it. Pigeon fanciers love their pigeons, and perhaps even more, they love to win races! Medpet was initially founded to cater for this need: to make medicines for racing pigeons to keep them healthy, and to satisfy this demand for the passionate and enthusiastic participants in the sport – pigeon fanciers. For thinking your healthy pigeons, Diligent International imported medicines from Medpet.
For the pigeon fanciers out there, Medpet warns against the use of medication not registered for pigeons (or not registered at all) and discourages the practise over-medicating, or using antibiotics unnecessarily. Consult your vet, and don’t run the risk of misdiagnoses, which will ruin your season, or could even be responsible for the death of your pigeons. Be aware also of cheap imitations, and remember in the end that you get what you pay for!
