OUR MANAGING DIRECTOR
DR COBUS RAATH

Dr Cobus Raath qualified with a BVSc degree from the University of Pretoria’s Onderstepoort Veterinary Faculty in South Africa in 1985. He spent the first 11 years of his career as the head veterinarian for SANParks, stationed in Kruger National Park, where he developed many of the systems and management plans that are still in place today. 

After leaving SANParks to set up a private wildlife veterinary practice, he soon realised the necessity for the development of conservation medicines globally. Demonstrating his passion for his work and his vision for the future of conservation in South Africa and abroad, Dr Raath registered Wildlife Pharmaceuticals (Pty) Ltd in 1997. 

Today, Dr Raath remains actively involved in the wildlife veterinary industry, dedicating his expertise and time to numerous research projects and sharing his knowledge and skills with veterinarians around the world by hosting wildlife immobilisation courses.

ABOUT US

Wildlife Pharmaceuticals was founded in 1997 as a distributor of wildlife immobilisation medicines. At the time, there was a growing global demand for wildlife specific veterinary medicines due to the increasing need for conservation-based wildlife management. This spurred on the decision to build a small-scale API and small batch sterile filling facility
