Hyperdrug is one of the UK's longest-established animal pharmacies, trading since 1828 and based in Teesdale, County Durham. A family-run business, it holds accreditation from the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) and operates specialist divisions known as the Canine Chemists, Equine Pharmacy and Pigeon Pharmacy. This catalogue brought together the full breadth of that expertise, covering pets, horses, livestock and working birds.
Hyperdrug's roots stretch back to 1828, making it one of Britain's oldest animal health businesses. Based in the North Pennines market town with strong associations with veterinary history, the company grew from a local pharmacy into a nationally recognised supplier. The catalogue reflected that heritage, presenting products chosen by people with deep, practical knowledge of animal welfare rather than a generic retail operation.
A key feature of this catalogue was access to UK-licensed veterinary medicines dispensed through a VMD-accredited pharmacy. Customers could order prescription and over-the-counter treatments including wormers, flea and tick preparations, and fly control products for dogs, cats, horses and livestock. All medicines were supplied in line with UK pharmacy regulations, providing reassurance that treatments were genuine and correctly labelled.
Beyond medicines, the catalogue covered a wide range of everyday animal care products. Shoppers could browse toys and treats for dogs, cats and horses; nutritional supplements; dog coats and horse rugs; and pigeon supplies rarely found in mainstream pet shops. Whether caring for a family pet or managing a yard of horses, the catalogue offered a single source for health essentials and useful extras at competitive prices.
Hyperdrug served a broader range of species than most catalogues of its type. Products were available for dogs, cats, horses, pigeons, cattle, sheep and other livestock. This made the catalogue particularly useful for smallholders, pigeon fanciers and equestrian owners who often struggled to find specialist supplies locally. The combination of pharmacy-grade medicines and practical accessories in one publication was a practical advantage for multi-animal households.
Hyperdrug was established in 1828, giving it a trading history of almost two centuries. It is one of the oldest continuously operating animal pharmacies in the United Kingdom, and has been supplying products by mail order and catalogue for many years.
