Vitalin was born in 1953 in Ripon, Yorkshire, where Arthur Mills made one of the first commercially produced complete dry dog foods in the UK. The brand moved to Lincolnshire and was acquired by Cranswick plc in January 2022 as part of its purchase of Grove Pet Foods. It offers natural dry foods including grain-free recipes, backed by TV advertising.
