Lenny the Sheep
Chief Grazing Officer
I have a special place in Vetlen’s origin. It was the preclinical work conducted with me and my flock that led the founders to realize many species could benefit from this innovative solution. I joined the Vetlen team to continue clinical trials on dogs, horses and any other creature who can benefit – helping to lead everyone to greener pastures.
What he loves about Vetlen: It’s so simple.
On his bucket list: See the Vetlen Pouch become the most versatile tool for the surgical and wound needs for all animals.
