Tvati has been recognised with a 2026 Pet Age Vanguard Award, marking the brand’s second major recognition from Pet Age this year.
The Vanguard Awards celebrate products and brands helping move the pet industry forward through new ideas, original thinking and meaningful innovation.
For Tvati, the recognition reflects an approach that is deliberately different: a simple topical formulation, rooted in Cook Islands plant tradition and developed through modern scientific research.

A NEW APPROACH TO PET WELLNESS
Pet Age highlighted Tvati’s topical delivery system as one of the qualities that sets the brand apart from more conventional joint-support formats.
Rather than relying on chews, powders or tablets, Tvati Pet is applied directly to the skin using a simple pre-measured vial.
At the heart of the formula are just two ingredients: Cook Islands Sea Hibiscus bark oil and organic coconut oil.
The result is a deliberately simple topical approach designed to support joint comfort, healthy movement and everyday wellbeing in pets.
ROOTED IN TRADITION. DEVELOPED THROUGH RESEARCH.
Tvati’s story begins in the Cook Islands, where the plant knowledge that inspired the formula has been passed through generations.
That traditional starting point was later explored through doctoral research at the University of New South Wales, helping shape the extraction, concentration and topical formulation behind Tvati today.
It is that combination of heritage, research and a different approach to application that helped Tvati stand out among the brands recognised by Pet Age in 2026.

TWO PET AGE RECOGNITIONS IN 2026
The Vanguard Award follows Tvati Pet being selected for Pet Age Editor’s Select 2026 earlier this year.
Tvati Pet was recognised within the Dog Health – External category, making 2026 a milestone year for the brand with two separate Pet Age honours.
Editor’s Select recognises products Pet Age believes stand out for their quality, innovation, performance and value, while the Vanguard Awards focus specifically on ideas and products helping lead the pet industry in new directions.
For a young brand bringing an entirely different format to pet mobility and wellness, recognition across both programmes represents an important vote of confidence in the approach behind Tvati.
MORE GOOD DAYS AHEAD.
The recognition is another step in Tvati’s mission to give pets more opportunity to move comfortably, stay active and enjoy more of the everyday moments that matter.
Different format. Simple formula. Deep roots.
For more good days.
