Dear Valued Customers,

As from 21st of March 2011 and until further notice I am unable to supply any of my products for sale.

Please read below:

The APVMA is the Australian Government Statutory Authority that administers the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code (Agvet Code) and in doing so is responsible for the assessment, registration and regulation of agricultural and veterinary chemical products supplied and promoted in the Australian marketplace.

The product falls within the definition of a veterinary chemical product as it is represented as preventing, diagnosing, curing or alleviating a disease or condition in the animal or an infestation of the animal by a pest.  The product is represented as boosting the immune system and reducing inflammation in the joints such as arthritis.

Section 5 of the Agvet Code defines a veterinary chemical product as including a substance or mixture of substances that is represented as being suitable for or is manufactured supplied or used for, administration or application to an animal by any means, or consumption by an animal as a way of directly or indirectly;

a)     Preventing, diagnosing, curing or alleviating a disease or condition in the animal or an infestation of the animal by a pest; or

b)     Curing or alleviating an injury suffered by the animal; or

c)     Modifying the physiology of the animal; or

(i)          so as to alter its natural development, productivity, quality or reproductive capacity; or

(ii)        so as to make it more manageable; or

d)     modifying the effect of another veterinary chemical product

A product requires registration if it makes a representation that fits the definition of a veterinary chemical product, or it contains ingredients that are used for a purpose that fits the definition of a veterinary chemical product or both. 

Our records show that the Goochy's range of products is not registered under the Agvet Code that no application has been made to register the products and that no permit has been issued to allow its supply.

While the representations made about the product bring it within the definition of a veterinary chemical product you should also be aware that the constituents contained in the product also bring it within the definition.  If the constituents have any of the effects set out in the definition of a veterinary chemical product the product requires registration before advertisement and supply in Australia.  The active constituent’s selenium, amino acids and green lipped mussels may also bring the product within the definition of a veterinary chemical product irrespective of how the product is represented. 

This notice will stay posted until I able to satisfy ALL APVMA criteria.

Best Regards,
