Veterinary Health Products

Veterinary Health Products (VHPs) are categorized as low-risk drugs in various dosage forms. Containing ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, traditional medicines, VHPs are used to maintain or promote the health and welfare of animals but not recommended for treating, preventing, or curing disease. When a VHP is registered, a Notification Number (NN) is issued.

Companies must notify Health Canada at least 30 days before importing or selling any VHPs, or making any changes to already notified products. We strongly recommended that any VHP application should be submitted at least 3-month prior to sale given the reviewing process at Health Canada.

With extensive experience in VHP registration, our consultants will help generate and submit your VHP applications, ensuring your product label meets VHP regulation and language requirements. If necessary, our highly-specialized team will also help submit a New Substance Application for your novel ingredient.
