VetSpec launches new range of canine supplements


VetSpec (formerly PetSpec) has launched a brand new range of canine supplements.

The new hypoallergenic supplements have been developed and improved to incorporate the latest research in probiotics.  Probiotics help to maintain a healthy gut environment and cannot currently be found in ordinary dried or tinned dog food.

The VetSpec range consists of six supplements which are recommended by veterinary surgeons, successful breeders and canine professionals.

VetSpec Joint Mobility: A highly specified canine supplement, VetSpec Joint Mobility is ideal for all dogs to support joint flexibility and aid the natural anti-inflammatory process. Its formulation includes Glucosamine, MSM, Chondroitin and antioxidants.

New VetSpec Calm and Focused (now containing a probiotic): VetSpec  Calm & Focused is ideal for all dogs to help reduce anxiety, help improve focus and obedience, reduce fear of loud noises and help with separation anxiety. Its formulation includes Tryptophan, probiotics and magnesium.

New VetSpec Coat and Skin: VetSpec Coat & Skin’s unique formula promotes fabulous coats, wonderful skin condition and aids the natural pigmentation process. It is ideal for show dogs, dogs with scurfy coats and itchy skin, and dogs recovering from a variety of skin conditions. It includes vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and MSM. 

New Healthy Dog  (which replaces Show Dog and now contains probiotics): VetSpec Healthy Dog is ideal for all dogs where outstanding condition and performance are a priority, especially show dogs. VetSpec Healthy Dog is also suitable for the nutritional support of dogs recovering from veterinary treatment or dogs with gastro-intestinal problems. It is also ideal for adding to normal dog food for whelping and lactating bitches. The formula contains scientifically proven ingredients including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, pre and probiotics. 

VetSpec Active (which replaces Working Dog): VetSpec Active is suitable for all hard-working dogs especially agility dogs, gundogs, sheepdogs and greyhounds. It is specially formulated using scientifically proven ingredients including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, Glucosamine, MSM and MOS. These ingredients supplement any deficiencies in the dog’s normal diet and lead to improved performance, giving better results and a longer working life. 

New VetSpec Senior  (now containing a probiotic): Specifically formulated for the older dog, VetSpec Senior provides the extra micronutrients needed to support a long, healthy and active old age. It is formulated by experienced nutritionists with scientifically proven ingredients including probiotics, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, Glucosamine, and MOS. The unique formula supplements the dog’s normal diet and leads to a happier, more healthy and active life in later years.

The range is available in two tub sizes – 200g (4 weeks supply for a 20kg dog) and 500g (12 weeks supply for a 20kg dog)
