About Dr. Gary Richter, MS, DVM. CVC. CVA

As an expert veterinarian, Dr. Gary Richter has always had a heartfelt drive to help keep animals healthy, and provide the best chances for their happiness. He’s received over 30 awards, certifications, and honors for his work.

In fact, The American Veterinary Medical Foundation awarded Dr. Richter with the title of “America’s Favorite Veterinarian.” Dr. Gary Richter has paved the way for veterinary science and better pet nutrition for over 20 years, and he’s made his discoveries accessible to every pet owner through his bestselling book, The Ultimate Pet Health Guide.

More than his accomplishments, Dr. Richter is generous of heart. He knows that there are dogs and cats worldwide that sit in county animal shelters just waiting to meet their people. Furthermore, he knows that sometimes providing an animal with a loving home can do as much for the provider of that home as it does for the pet.

That’s why he created Ultimate Pet Nutrition®. It’s also why Ultimate Pet Nutrition® is a proud sponsor of Pets for Vets, a nonprofit organization that pairs shelter animals with Veterans, and International Veterinary Outreach (IVO), who provides veterinary care, training, and education in economically-disadvantaged communities worldwide.

Personal Note from
Dr. Richter:

As a veterinarian, and a cat and dog parent myself, I know your pet is an incredibly important part of your life and your family. I’m honored to help you give your furry friend their happiest, healthiest possible life. This isn’t a responsibility I take lightly — I’ve crafted each Ultimate Pet Nutrition® formula to be what I believe is the absolute best for your pets, and my pets enjoy the same food, treats, and supplements in my own home. In my 2 decades as a veterinarian, I have seen how nutrition can change a pet’s life for the better, and I’m incredibly passionate about giving you the knowledge to support your pet’s health and wellness with nutrition, right in your own home.

Sincerely,
Dr. Gary Richter
