Brief information on the creation of the VetMedCare® brand and networking with Zaza textile solutions

Dr. Norbert Freitag, who died in 2015, was the founder of the VetMedCare brand. The company Zaza Textillösungen GmbH was the development and production specialist at Dr. Freitag’s side from the very beginning.

The well-known VetMedCare “mascot” – were his 4 dogs Spammy, Joe, Kessey and Jingi. They accompanied Dr. Freitag on almost all fairs and can still be seen on the delivery notes and invoices, as well as in the e-mail signature.
