About A-Plus Naturals

A-Plus Naturals alternate name A-Plus Pets was born out of science, but it’s fueled by something deeper: the desire to protect what we love. When cerebral malaria claimed one family member and Lyme disease struck another, the truth became undeniable: the boundaries between human, animal, and environmental health are porous, and the cost of ignoring them is measured in lives. That loss became our mission, and it is why we embrace the principles of One Health—recognizing that human, animal, and environmental well‑being are inseparably linked. During the height of COVID‑19, our founder, Helena van der Merwe, co‑authored a peer‑reviewed study published in Neuroglia (2022). The research showed how antioxidants from natural sources protect cells from oxidative stress—a discovery that reinforced a timeless truth: when there is no cure, the best defense is a strong, resilient immune system. That insight became the foundation for Immunity Blend, our flagship formula designed to help aging pets strengthen their natural defenses with the power of nature. Recently, Health Canada notified and assigned NN. V8E3 to the product - Veterinary Health Product. For our brand, this recognition validates years of scientific rigor and positions A‑Plus Naturals as a trusted leader in holistic pet wellness. A Plus Naturals is a woman owned, science led pet wellness brand offering eco-conscious, OTC ready products for independent pharmacies, veterinary clinics, and specialty pet retailers.Read their story
