Pet firm donates hypotonic drink to help street dogs

 

Pet firm Oralade has donated a quantity of its new hypotonic drink, Hydrate+, to the Dogs on the Streets organisation to help animals in their care through the intense heatwave and beyond.

 

Dogs on the Streets director Michelle Clark set up DOTS in March 2017 as a voluntary run, not for profit organisation. Helping the homeless community with dogs, DOTS runs weekly ‘street stations’ across London and nationwide.

 

With DOTS’ mobile veterinary units the team provides free veterinary care from routine check ups and vaccinations to dietary and behavioural advice. DOTS can now also provide biopsies, blood tests and emergency 24/7 care.

 

In the recent soaring temperatures the organisation was struggling to cope with the number of dogs with severe heat stroke symptoms and de-hydration.

 

Michelle Clark said: “We’re always looking for preventative support for the dogs in our care, and Hydrate+ has been one of the best donations we’ve received for exactly this.

 

"Living rough on London’s concrete takes its toll, especially in hot weather. We’re committed to doing the best for our dogs, and why wait for problems to arise, medication and vets bills? Hydrate+ has been so effective even lapped up by the poorliest dogs suffering in the extreme temperatures. It helped get them drinking and quenched their thirst quickly, and naturally.”

 

Encouraging dogs to drink, the unique hypotonic formula is packed with essential electrolytes, glucose and prebiotics, which helps maintain optimum digestive function.

 

Its ingredients nourish the mucosal barrier and improves nutrient uptake, whilst stimulating the micro-flora that promotes gut health.

 

This balances the serious effects of de-hydration, which impacts overtime at a cellular level by starving your dog of oxygen, fluid and nutrients.

 

Catering for all the dogs’ needs, DOTS is delighted to be able to offer an effective hydration solution that helps dogs cope with the additional stresses of living on the streets.

 

Offering a lifeline to the homeless community with dogs, DOTS has already helped over 300 dogs living on the streets of London and further afield through their unique ‘static street stations’, and mobile veterinary support.
