Topeka, Kan., May 5, 2025 – Bimini Pet Health, a Topeka-based contract manufacturer of scientifically formulated pet health supplements, treats, and food, officially broke ground on an expansion to its production facility on Monday, May 5, 2025. The investment adds a dedicated ingredient blending facility to its current location at 1440 SW 41st Street, further supporting the company’s growth and innovation in the pet health industry.

The expansion marks the third phase of growth for Bimini Pet Health since it opened its current location in 2018, first occupying half the facility, then expanding to the full building in 2019. Now, with increasing global demand for its high-quality, dosage-form health supplements, and its introduction of a slew of trademarked ingredient blends and patent protected veterinary formulations, the company is adding to its capabilities once again.

“At Bimini, we have always sought to punch above our weight,” said Dr. Sam Al-Murrani, general manager of Bimini Pet Health. “We are proud to be a small but growing manufacturing business in the heart of the country. Our aim to be a global supplier of high-quality pet health supplements, and to expand our newly introduced, patent protected and trademarked ingredient blends and veterinary strength supplements line. Our products are already in Canada — rest of the world, here we come.”

In addition to driving product innovation and operational capacity, the expansion will bring immediate economic benefits to the Topeka community. Bimini has just hired two new employees and expects to hire additional team members within the next few months.

This growth milestone follows recent industry recognition for Bimini’s flagship digestive support supplement for dogs, Terrific Tummies™, which earned a Best in Show Award at Global Pet Expo 2025 — further solidifying the company’s leadership in pet health innovation.
