BLOOMFIELD, MI — Vlasic, one of North America’s largest and most well-known pickle brands, has expanded into the pet wellness space. While the transition from pickles to pets may be confusing to some, it makes perfect sense to the Vlasic family.

Rick Vlasic and his son Willie then founded Vlasic Labs, a company that aims to revolutionize the plant-based wellness industry through hemp.
Vlasic Labs produces high-quality hemp-based wellness products designed to meet a variety of human needs. The company’s products range from creams and roll-ons to bath bombs and tinctures made with cannabidiol (CBD), cannabigerol (CBG), and cannabinol (CBN).

Leveraging the famous pickle brand Vlasic, which is purchased by approximately 90 million Americans annually, Vlasic Labs is leveraging existing consumer trust to create a comprehensive hemp-based wellness product for dogs, according to the company. The company aims to provide solutions.
