Medpet is a supplier of premium, scientifically formulated, avian and pigeon products (in addition to products for companion animals such as dogs and cats) and is based in South Africa. Medpet has in the last few years made dramatic advances in the scientific treatment and prevention of pigeon diseases. Below is a synopsis of some of the wonderful results have obtained by using the Medpet products.  (For more general information about Medpet, who we are, and what we do, see our About Us section)

If you possess a well constructed loft, quality pigeons and a fair racing system you have no excuse if your performance is handicapped by pigeons not being at the peak of their health.

Sick pigeons don't win races, and furthermore sick pigeons don't breed champions!  The routine use of vitamins, electrolytes, amino acids, oils and natural performance enhancers are all part of keeping racing birds in peak condition.  Take a look at our suggested program by following the link. 

A word of faith from a US fancier Mr. D.C. Millett of Mesa, Arizona, after his recent visit to the Million Dollar Race in South Africa: "While I am certainly no expert on pigeon medication, I do know that only the healthiest pigeons win. I also know that if you just treat for the basics of canker, cocci, worms and respiratory, as every successful fancier does, that it can be very expensive using European products. I've found the Medpet products I've used, to be as good as any, better than many and by far, the easiest to afford!"

10th February, 2009:

I received my first MEDPET products in 2003 shortly before I won the 2003 Million Dollar race.   I have used the MEDPET line of pigeon products (and wormers for my guard dogs) exclusively ever since.  I live in a very hot, humid climate where everything - good and bad  - grows very well, especially and including health problems. The MEDPET line of products has everything I need to keep everything in check and in superb health.

I use several of the feed additive products in my pelleted feed formula which I have made specially and feed to everyone including babies, breeders, and racers.   I alternate regularly on a monthly basis using the MEDPET wormers, canker products, vitamin supplements, and other products as needed.

I win many one loft races in the U.S.A., and can attribute that to the great health I am able to send my babies out in, and I also credit the Medimune tablets used in the government quarantine station with helping to provide my recent wins and #1 ACE bird (87+ amazing minutes ahead) in the Allflite one loft race series at Carnival City South Africa.

I have been told that I have won more one loft races than any one else in the world.

Thank you MEDPET.

Sincerely,

David Clausing
Great products, for great health = good luck.

...And another letter from David by email, 29th March 2003, after his incredible win of the Million Dollar pigeon race:

Dear Medpet,

My stay in Africa could not have been much more perfect, topped off with the Million Dollar race win.

I have been close on several occasions in a partnership in 1997 2^nd place, then on my own, 3^rd place in 2002, #1 ACE bird in 1998, two times 2nd overall ACE pigeon, and a country challenge winner for Team USA in 2001, all at Sun City.

Your products are working well, the breeders and youngsters look better than any year ever before. Along with superior genetics and your obviously superior products, I would anticipate even more consistent results in 2003 and 2004. I know that a good start for the babies from healthier breeders translates into more fantastic racers.

I have used your wormer pills (Mediworm) with the greatest results I have ever had! Before I would need to use three different wormers to do the same job as your wormer pills do.

Some of my most proven breeding hens are quite tired and over worked, pushed for mass production. Some were not laying good shelled eggs any longer, but now are, thanks to your vitamin and mineral products. I have used all of the Calcibird already. I think it may have revitalized (or should I say re – mineralized) those fatigued super breeders. I have pre – medicated my breeders with several of your medications to clean them out. Now I am using more of the vitamin products to maintain this new, improved condition.

It has been a month and a half using your products, so we may be scratching the surface so far of their successfulness.

I look forward to this next race season, with elevated expectations.

Sincerely yours,

David Clausing

Letter received from Norman, April 2008.

Hi

My name is Norman Nicol from Worcester.

Last year I started the season very dismally. The first two races from Laingsburg I ended 22nd and 21st in our club.  This prompted me to take my pigeons to the local vet to be examined. After her examination she told me to dose my birds with Medpet’s Doxybiotic powder, followed by probiotics (Medpet’s Entero-Plus). This really helped:
I won the next Leeu Gamka in the club, and improved my bird’s performance through the year, ending the year with 4 club wins and 15 places in the local Federations (this bird had never won anything before it began using the Medpet products).

The best achievement for me this year was the Britstown race (560 km). This one bird has very good parents and has done almost nothing in his first year. Britstown on the day was raining and windy, almost storming weather as only the Cape can have. The usual timing time came and went. Nobody in Worcester had a bird. Suddenly out of nowhere this Bleu Bard cock SA CW 1189 05 arrives.  I phone my friends to hear if they had received birds. This was 14:50 pm.  Everybody I phoned said they don’t believe me. They had no birds. Not even the union champion.  I won the Club, Federation and Union with this bird. The next bird in the Union was clocked at 15:30.  

My pigeon was fit and healthy thanks to the Medpet products that I had started using according to my limited budget.  I regularly use Longstim, Aminovit-H, and Lewerstim, as well as Speed Plus about every second or third race.

The other race where I did well was the Colesberg race (680km). That Saturday night 21:00 we rang out the pigeons. Every fancier in the club only had 1 and at most 2 pigeons back on the day. I had 6 pigeons back on the day and was second in the race. This was a clear sign to me that your product is ahead in all fields.

Thanks for this experience.

You’re supported for the rest of my pigeon racing career.

Norman Nicol

The extensive use of, and continuous demand for, the Medpet product range by some of the best pigeon fanciers in the world shows the value of treating racing pigeons correctly, with quality products.  As per some of the comments above, a number of top fanciers clearly believe that the Medpet products have helped them to achieve and retain a competitive edge.  Other less-known fanciers have found that they have remarkably raised their performance levels, enabling them to compete at the top, after starting to use Medpet products.
 
Champions from South Africa and across the globe to the UK, Europe, USA, Canada, Middle East, and Far East, cannot all be wrong.
