In February, Dechra posted half-year sales of £209.5 million for the six months to December 31, up nine per cent from £192.2 million in the same period in 2010.
Pre-tax profit dropped slightly, from £9 million to £8.9 million.
Sentinel Business reported last month that Dechra had agreed to buy Eurovet Animal Health for £112.5 million to expand its presence in Europe and to help it break into new markets.
The deal is expected to be completed towards the end of May.
A spokesman said: "Current trading remains in line with the board's expectations and the directors remain confident that the group will continue to make good strategic progress throughout the remainder of the financial year."
