PetIQ Acquires MYOS, a Clinically-Studied Portfolio of Muscle Health Productsthat Support Muscle Preservation, Injury Recovery, and Healthy Aging for Pets

Transaction Expands PetIQ’s Portfolio of Brands and Strengthens its Position as a Leading Pet Health & Wellness Platform with Additional Science-Backed Products

EAGLE, Idaho, July 29, 2026 — PetIQ, Inc. (“PetIQ”), a leading pet health and wellness company and portfolio company of Bansk Group, today announced it has closed the acquisition of MYOS Corp (“MYOS”) and its Fortetropin®-based portfolio of muscle health products for the animal health category, spanning both consumer-facing supplements and veterinary-exclusive formulations. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

The acquisition adds a leading, clinically studied muscle health brand and its patented Fortetropin® ingredient technology to PetIQ’s growing portfolio of pet medications, supplements, and wellness brands, further strengthening its position as a category leader in pet health and wellness.

At the core of every MYOS product is Fortetropin®, a proprietary, patented bioactive compound that helps support muscle growth and preservation by modulating myostatin, the body’s natural regulator of muscle mass. Fortetropin® has been shown to help build muscle, improve mobility, and reduce the rate of muscle loss associated with aging, injury, or surgery. Supported by research in both humans and companion animals—including dogs, cats, and horses—Fortetropin® is backed by more than a dozen clinical studies, as well as a robust patent portfolio.

“Pet parents are increasingly looking for solutions that support their pets’ mobility, recovery, and long-term vitality—not just treatment after a problem arises,” said Camillo Pane, Chief Executive Officer of PetIQ. “MYOS has spent over a decade working alongside veterinarians to understand the science around muscle health, leading to the development of Fortetropin® as a proprietary, differentiated, clinically supported ingredient. Adding MYOS to our leading branded portfolio allows us to enter the fast-growing muscle health category and meet pet owners’ growing interest in preventive health, mobility preservation, and quality of life for their pets. We are looking forward to working with the MYOS team and scaling the brand with our insights-first approach, brand-building capabilities, and our national retail and e-commerce footprint.”

“We’re very excited to partner with PetIQ,” said Joe Mannello, CEO of MYOS Corp. “PetIQ’s distribution reach, brand-building expertise, and operating discipline are exactly what MYOS and Fortetropin® need to realize their full potential and reach more pet owners globally.”

MYOS’s product lines will become a core offering within PetIQ’s broader health and wellness portfolio, with the MYOS brand and Fortetropin® ingredient continuing to be marketed under their existing names that pet parents have come to recognize and trust.
