VetBiotek Skincare Solutions for Dogs and Cats

The VetBiotek skin care line for dogs and cats offers a variety of topical shampoos, waterless mousse, sprays, wipes, and ear solutions. Designed for antiseptic cleansing, they aid in the treatment of skin and ear infections, seborrhea, allergies, and a variety of other skin conditions. VetBiotek uses a key ingredient called Microsilver BG, a pure microscopic metallic silver that is a natural antimicrobial and penetrates biofilm. Biofilm is a natural slime-like coating that forms a protective barrier over bacteria, yeast, and fungi. This protective layer can make these organisms more resistant because it does not allow antibiotics or medications to get in. The film must be broken in order for the antibiotics to get in do their job, therefore causing them to break down and die. The Microsilver keeps working overtime to help prevent the area from being infected again.

VetBiotek topical products also contain Ceramide III, a skin-identical molecule which helps enforce the natural skin barrier. Additionally, it discourages the loss of water through the epidermis, the top layer of the skin. VetBiotek shampoos and conditioners also use soap-free formulas

Cobalequin Vitamin B12 Supplement For Dogs and Cats

Vitamin B12 is an essential vitamin that plays important roles in within the body. It helps with the function of the brain and nervous system, cell growth, metabolism of fat and carbohydrates, and red blood cell formation. Vitamin B12, or cobalamin, is not made by the body and must be supplied by food or supplements. Having a lack of B12 can lead to other health problems. Both dogs and cats can develop a deficiency to this vitamin. It can also occur in those dogs and cats with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is a condition which prevents the proper digestion and absorption of nutrients from food due to a lack digestive enzymes in the pancreas. Animals suffering from EPI become deficient in multiple nutrients including vitamin B12. This is because they cannot absorb it from the food they eat. Some common signs include weight loss, anemia, lethargy, and decreased appetite. If you suspect your pet has a deficiency, talk with your veterinarian. Your veterinarian may prescribe Vitamin B12 injections or a supplement like Cobalequin.

Galliprant Relieves Arthritis Pain and Swelling For Dogs

Arthritis can be painful for dogs, and make them more reluctant to participate in the daily activities they enjoy. Working, hunting, and active dogs tend to put more stress on their joints. Age, breed, and genetics also play a role. If you notice your dog slowing down, showing signs of pain, or losing interest in physical activity, it may be time to talk with your veterinarian. Currently, there is no cure for arthritis, but your veterinarian can discuss options that can make your dog more comfortable. Also, when caught in the early stages, arthritis can be easier to treat and manage. Your veterinarian may recommend a supplement or prescribe a pain reliever for your dog. Galliprant is a new medication for dogs with arthritis pain.
