Lintbells -home of YuMOVE- acquires leading pet mobility brand Walkin’Pets

Lintbells, the leader in premium natural pet supplements and home of YuMOVE, the no. 1 clinically proven veterinary joint supplement brand*, has today announced the acquisition of leading US provider of pet mobility aids, Walkin’ Pets.  The acquisition is part of Lintbells’ global growth strategy as it continues its mission to give pets a more active life, by making the most life-changing differences to cats and dogs around the world.

Walkin’ Pets was established by Mark Robinson in 2001 in Amherst, New Hampshire, USA. The company offers a range of support products designed to extend an active and high-quality life to pets including wheelchairs, harnesses and braces.  It has built a reputation for innovation and high-quality care of pets and customers.

The acquisition will enable Lintbells to extend the breadth of its support in the UK from pet supplements into physical support products – a natural and exciting progression for the brand as it continues its growth trajectory.

Lintbells, which already has a significant footprint in the US with its fast-growing supplements business, plans to grow sales not only by expanding their newly acquired mobility aids business, but also introducing their market-leading* YuMOVE supplements to the Walkin’ Pets community.

Not limited to the United States, Walkin’ Pets’ international distribution network will also open up new markets for YuMOVE both in the UK and Europe.

Commenting on the acquisition, Fiona Hope, CEO Lintbells – Home of YuMOVE, says: “The Lintbells mission and values align perfectly with Walkin’ Pets, so I’m delighted to welcome the brand and team into the Lintbells family.  We both share a deep commitment to helping pets stay ‘active for life’ and are well-known for the efficacy and science behind our products as well as the highest levels of customer care and educational support.  Lintbells is an ambitious business, and this acquisition moves us into a completely new but aligned sector and supports our global growth strategy as we move towards becoming a global pet healthcare company.”

John Howie, Co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer, Lintbells – Home of YuMOVE, says: “It’s a pleasure to welcome the Walkin’ Pets team into the Lintbells group. Just like Lintbells, they’re on a mission to give pets the joy of mobility. There is clearly a common culture to our teams, clear synergies between our two product offerings, and I’m sure that working together will bring great benefits to customers of both our businesses.”
