About the author and the blog (as of 2025 January)

By Pet Labs


The most common questions that I get asked by pet parents are what to feed their pets? Which food is the best for my pet? Is it necessary to give supplements? Which supplements are the best for my pet? 

About me
I'm Dr Romela Salgado, a Veterinarian,  Veterinary Nutritionist and a formulation scientist in pet food and pet supplements. I'm registered with the Sri Lanka Veterinary Council to practice and have years of experience in companion animal clinical medicine since 2018. I'm a national award winning veterinarian innovative serial entrepreneur

My mission is to heal pets through food and help pets live longer without medication. I also love to empower pet parents in their pet's journey to longevity 

About the blog
Through this blog I aim to help pet owners rely on sustainable pet care. Pet care comes in different ways and what's focused in my blog is to care for pets with the least amount of medication while the pet owners adhere to non invasive therapies when possible 

Here I would also love to write about my other passion, which is sustainable pet nutrition.  I will be sharing genuine reviews on selected pet food and pet supplement products 

Why do I select products to review?
Not every product in the market aligns with my mission of healing pets through food. I will select those products that are one step ahead from the ordinary to review them further 

What else do I do?
I have my own veterinary practice where I have been working in since 2020. That is where my journey to creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship and self love began

Additionally I work as a formulation scientist through my own company- "Pet Labs" for both world renowned companies and start ups in the pet food and pet supplement industry. I also serve as a veterinary nutritionist for individual pets that need my support to battle against recurring chronic diseases

What are my hobbies?
I've got a lot but my most constant habit is reading and journaling. I also love baking and music

What took me to the UN

By Pet Labs
I was invited to the United Nations' International Labour Organization for a consultative meeting with the stakeholders of the entrepreneurial system to conduct a start-up ecosystem mapping for the first time in Sri Lanka on the 17th of January 2025 This is my first time to even go to the United Nations and I'm grateful that I was invited. In my invitation it mentioned that I was invited for the potential that I showcased as a young entrepreneur  There were only four young entrepreneurs who were invited while the rest was about 50 other massive stakeholders and entrepreneurs themselves But, what exactly made me to the UN? I was pondering about the "potential" and yes, I think I figured out  1. social impact : aligns with 10 SDGs of UN From healing pets to creating industries, employment and promoting innovation, my work expands in the most sustainable ways 2. health impact : promotes longevity and sustainability of pets directly and human beings indirectl...

Leptospirosis as a zoonosis

By Pet Labs
Leptospirosis awareness A timely topic as there's a Leptospirosis outbreak in the Northern province of Sri Lanka. I see a gap in the level of awareness on prevention and transmission regarding this topic although there are plenty of sources to explain the symptoms of the disease. It's vital to raise awareness on prevention of spread of the disease among the non-infected at a same level as of the attempts to cure the already infected individuas! Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease - a disease that is transmitted to humans via animals Leptospirosis, also known as "මී උණ" in Sinhala is a highly contagious disease caused by the bacteria Leptospira The carrier of the disease is rodents such as rats, mice and even squirrels The carriers can transmit Leptospira bacteria to most of the mammals such as humans, dogs, cats, cattle, horses, wild animals and marine mammals How does the bacteria enter into an individual? There are several ways by which the bacter...
