FORT WORTH, Texas — Sept. 11, 2012 — Tomlyn, creator of pet health and wellness products, today announced the company’s acceptance into membership of the National Animal Supplement Council (NASC). This recognition of the company and its products reinforces Tomlyn's reputation as one of the top developers and manufacturers of high-quality pet health and wellness products in the U.S.

Founded in 2001, NASC seeks to protect the health of U.S. companion animals and horses by cooperating with state, federal and international government officials to regulate the manufacture and distribution of safe, high-quality animal health supplements. As an industry trade group, NASC works with the makers of supplements to ensure the safe production and manufacturing of these products, upholding them to the highest quality standards.

"Our company seeks to find solutions for common pet health and behavior needs," said Peter Trevino, business unit manager for Tomlyn. "By participating in NASC’s processes we hope to underline that providing well-made, useful pet health supplements is our priority, from the scientific formulations to the manufacturing process to ease of use. We share a common desire with pet owners to see animals thrive—and participating in an organization like NASC provides an additional comfort level that our efforts make life better for the pets themselves."

Membership in NASC is voluntary for the makers of animal health supplements. As a member of NASC, and in order to obtain the NASC Seal of Quality for their products, Tomlyn undergoes NASC's required independent audits of their facilities. With these and other protocols in place, Tomlyn customers can have the peace of mind that the supplements they purchase for their pets from Tomlyn are of the highest quality.
