About VetIQ
VetIQ is a pet health and wellness brand owned by PetIQ, LLC, headquartered in Eagle, Idaho. PetIQ's portfolio also includes Minties dental treats, Betsy Farms, and VetGuard Plus flea and tick products, and the company was acquired by Bansk Group in October 2024. VetIQ's stated mission is to make pet wellness care accessible and affordable, positioning its supplement line as a bridge between veterinary visits and day-to-day care at home.
The VetIQ range spans five categories: joint and mobility support, digestive health, calming support, allergy and itch relief, and general wellness, all formulated as soft chews meant for daily use. The line is developed with veterinary input and manufactured to National Animal Supplement Council (NASC) standards at a facility in Springville, Utah, using globally sourced ingredients. Its Cat Calming Treats, the product in our own reviews, combine melatonin, GABA, valerian root, chamomile, L-theanine and thiamine into a dual-texture chew built to help a cat through discrete stressors like car rides, vet visits, and fireworks.

Why we recognized VetIQ
The House of Mittens Top Brand recognition isn't paid for and can't be applied for. We award it to the brands whose products consistently stand out in our vet-reviewed category guides. VetIQ earned it on the strength of the products below, evaluated the same way every product on this site is: assessed against feline-health criteria, used with real cats, and judged on merit.
VetIQ products we rated highly
VetIQ Cat Calming Treats with Melatonin, Ashwagandha and GABA, Chicken Flavor (3.7 oz)
Built around the broadest ingredient stack in our lineup -- melatonin, GABA, valerian root, chamomile, L-theanine and thiamine combined -- which gives it more ways to help a cat through a single stressful hour than the single-botanical chews we also reviewed. The dual-texture build, a crunchy shell around a soft center, is why it gets eaten by cats that leave a firmer chew untouched. It's NASC-certified and manufactured in the United States, and in our reviews it held a 4.1-star average across more than 3,400 ratings. Because melatonin leads the formula, mild drowsiness is possible in sensitive cats, so we noted it for a specific stressful event rather than as a non-sedating daily option.
