About Poseidon Animal Health
Join us on our mission to help your horses and dogs live a healthier, happier life.
It All Started With A Gut Feeling
At Poseidon Animal Health, we believe in animals living their best life, starting with their gut. Our mission is simple but powerful: to make high-quality, evidence-based gut health supplements that support long-term wellbeing, from their first breath to their golden years.
When our founder, Linda Goldspink-Lord, was navigating a life-altering health crisis, she turned to gut health as a last resort. What started as a personal wellness experiment soon became something far more powerful - she didn’t just recover physically; she regained clarity and resilience.
The change was profound.
At the same time, she was caring for a retired racehorse named Cruise who was struggling with behavioral and health issues. The question came naturally: if supporting gut health transformed Linda’s body and mind… could it do the same for her horses and dogs?
That question lit the spark that would become Poseidon Animal Health.
The Message of Gut Health is Spreading
While Founders Linda Goldspink-Lord and Peter Lord started Poseidon by mixing formulas in their kitchen, the message of gut health is now spreading internationally.
We now have teams in the United States, Australia and New Zealand and our products are used by thousands of Veterinarians, Olympians, Dog Owners, Elite Equine Athletes, Trainers, Breeders and Horse Owners throughout the world.
