Frequently Asked Questions

Answer:

Does your dog suffer from discomfort while urinating, does he have to urinate more often than usual, or does his urine have a strange colour? In that case it may be that he or she suffers from a urinary tract infection. Be sure to visit the veterinarian first for a correct diagnosis. In the event of a urinary tract infection, bacteria attach themselves to the urinary tract wall. Pharma.pet Urinary is a nutritional supplement enriched with cranberry concentrate that supports the healthy functioning of the urinary tract. 

Answer:

Just like humans, our four-legged friends also get older, whereby the brain can show signs of old age. In the process, dogs develop symptoms similar to those of people with dementia: behavioural changes, such as a decreased orientation capacity, hyperactivity, a different sleeping pattern, inappropriate elimination, changed social interactions and activities or separation anxiety. This mental decline can be curbed, but not completely cured. Support your dog with pharma.pet Brain, which contains omega 3 fatty acid DHA to mentally support the ageing dog. 

Answer:

There are various moments that can have a stressful influence on some dogs: a visit to the veterinarian, relocation, thunderstorms, fireworks or even a car ride. But separation anxiety can also lead to undesirable behaviour in a dog. For example, excessive barking or yelping, destructions or undesirable territorial behaviour. Valerian is an herb that is slightly calming and is mainly used in anxious or stressful situations as described above. It can also help with insomnia by shortening the sleep latency - this is the time needed to fall asleep. We therefore recommend pharma.pet Relax, a nutritional supplement enriched with valerian that has a relaxing and soothing effect.

Depending on the cause or specific complaint(s), we can recommend a number of products in these cases. 

EPA, obtained from salmon oil, has an anti-inflammatory effect and supports the skin and coat against dryness, flakes and itchy, red skin. Dull hair is also completely revived. The omega fatty acids in salmon oil bring the cells to rest, which benefits the coat condition. The nutritional supplement pharma.pet Skin & Coat supports your dog in maintaining a healthy, supple skin and coat. 

Dermaplus goes one step further and not only acts on the general condition of the skin and hair, but it can also be used for hair loss caused by skin conditions. Ingredients, such as zinc and biotin provide a supple, healthy and shiny coat. It contains important building blocks in the growth and recovery processes of the skin, hair and nails. You can use pharma.pet Dermaplus to support your dog during moulting, or during various hair and skin disorders.

Pharma.pet Immunity contains Echinacea and a vitamin mixture to support your four-legged friend’s resistance as best as possible. Antioxidants inhibit the formation of free radicals and render them harmless. This is a mixture that helps to strengthen natural resistance, together with other vitamins that help with general immune development and the management of energy. We recommend using this supplement to get your dog ready for autumn.

Pharma.pet Omnipet is also a nutritional supplement that you can use to support your dog in case of a decrease of the immunity. Did you know that a healthy and strong intestinal system is at the base of good health? Not difficult, when you consider that this is the body’s source of energy, and that the intestines also ensure the elimination of numerous waste products. This supplement can be a real added value in case of reduced immunity, or as a support in the event of recovery.

The pharma.pet Hepamax supplement, on the other hand, contributes to a higher immune resistance, as it can help to correct an irregular condition in overstressed or disrupted detoxification organs. Active substances from plant extracts support a better energy status and a higher immunological resistance. These substances also improve the digestion and utilisation of nutrients from daily nutrition. Use this supplement if, for example, your dog also has less appetite, or an unpleasant smell breath, coat or stool smell.

A concentrate from natural raw materials, such as ginseng and spirulina ensures pharma.pet Energy provides more energy. Siberian ginseng is seen as a general vitalising and stimulating plant that not only helps with fatigue or listlessness, but also with recovery after an illness or operation. In short, this plant helps to improve endurance, immunity and recovery. Spirulina, on the other hand, is an algae with an exceptionally high nutritional value and is a real vitamin bomb. Spirulina improves endurance and the functioning of the immune system and is therefore a powerful energy booster.

We recommend using pharma.pet Omnipet in case of a weakening of the condition. The supplement contains plant extracts from, amongst others, walnut, a true form of feed concentrate, which also helps to restore the intestinal flora. Perhaps the most important effect of walnuts occurs at the level of the intestinal microbiome. This is a dynamic ecosystem of billions of microorganisms that, amongst others, help to convert undigested food into energy, or other useful compounds. 

Pharma.pet Hepamax's ingredients contribute to a better energy status. These substances also improve the digestion and utilisation of nutrients from daily nutrition. Aromatic plant extracts from, amongst others, curcuma, boldo and solidago, contain substances that have a protective and regenerating influence on the detoxification organs. If these organs cannot function optimally, this can lead to a decreased appetite or a lack of vitality. Use this supplement if, for example, your dog also has less appetite, or an unpleasant breath, coat or stool smell.

The Yucca Schidigera plant reduces the faecal odour by binding ammonia and faecal volatile substances. Yucca helps to clean the intestines; not only superficially, but also around the intestinal villi. Finally, the yucca root promotes good intestinal flora by binding toxins in the intestines so that there is less chance of these being absorbed into the blood and causing damage. Pharma.pet Yucca helps to reduce the production of flatulence and to improve the odour of the stool, which is also nice for the owner. But, if your dog suffers from excessive flatulence, it is better to first look at the underlying cause, together with your veterinarian. Sickness can be the cause, but also certain behaviours, such as guzzling and fast eating, or too little exercise.

Pharma.pet Omnipet contains concentrate from natural raw materials, such as humic acids, which not only stimulate good intestinal function and intestinal flora, but it can also have a protective effect on the intestinal wall. In domestic animals, humic acid acts on the feed conversion - or the amount of nutrients that are absorbed, instead of being discharged undigested. This will cause a less smelly and more solid stool. Furthermore, this supplement contains walnut, which is known to help restore intestinal flora. You can use Omnipet to provide your dog with a solid foundation for a healthy intestinal tract. In turn, the stool will smell less unpleasant and become more solid. 

The ingredients of pharma.pet Hepamax improve the digestion and utilisation of nutrients from daily food. Aromatic plant extracts from, amongst others, curcuma, boldo and solidago, contain substances that have a protective and regenerating influence on the detoxification organs. If these organs cannot function optimally, it can lead to a decreased appetite or a lack of vitality. Use this supplement if, for example, your dog also has less appetite, or an unpleasant breath, coat or stool smell.

If your dog suffers from diarrhoea or blood in the stool, pharma.pet Fecal Plus can certainly be an added value. This is often a signal of a disrupted bowel system, or unwanted guests in the intestines. Preventively this is also a nice way to support a healthy intestinal system and to normalise the intestinal flora. The Juglans plant is better known to us as the walnut tree of which the leaves are an excellent remedy for digestive disorders and even for persistent single-celled organisms or parasites in the intestines. The aromatic plant extracts used, also contain substances that support a better immunological resistance. They ensure an improved digestion improves and a better utilisation of the nutrients from daily nutrition. Nothing but advantages!

A nasal discharge could come out of his nose, but he can, for example, also produce too much drool or mucus or continue to cough. Time to relieve the respiratory tract irritation and tickling cough! Pharma.pet Respimax contains, amongst others, eucalyptus which destroys the mucus and helps to loosen it, moreover it also has an antiseptic effect, which prevents the development of bacteria and fungi.

Your four-legged friend will not become immune to all diseases, but the symptoms will be reduced, and the recovery will be much faster. Respimax is perfect for dogs with a reduced resistance, to support a healthy respiratory system.

Answer:

An important element to keep your dog in good shape is choline: this plays a role in the fat metabolism and the storage of fat in the body. In addition, it also boosts energy levels and supports cardiovascular health. The general body composition improves without the bodyweight experiencing fluctuations: the muscle mass increases and the fat mass decreases. Vitamin E, on the other hand, plays a role in building, repairing and maintaining tissues and muscles. Moreover, it is an excellent antioxidant that protects cell membranes against degradation by free radical, released during physical exertion. Pharma.pet Recovery supports the muscular system, helps to keep your four-legged friend in good shape and is also beneficial for physical endurance.

Answer:

Some dogs make giving medication or supplements a real struggle. There are several tricks to facilitate the administration of medication, but not all of them work effectively, or the dog quickly understands how it works. It is therefore often seen that the dog eats its kibble neatly around the pill that is hidden in between them. And what about pills that have to be administered outside of the feeding times in order to improve their effect? The pharma.pet Transporter offers the solution for both pills and tablets. Put the pill or tablet in the provided opening and rub or squeeze the biscuit a little bit closed around the pill. You can put a capsule in the round opening; a tablet can be slid into the slot on the side. First give your dog a few of these treats and only afterwards together with the medicine. Your dog will then continue to associate the treats in a positive way, which will make it easier to use this trick more often. The Transporter contains delicious chicken liver to link the intake of medication to an extra tasty experience. The pleasant odour, composition and taste ensure that the pill is absorbed more easily. You can cut a piece off and knead it into a ball for smaller dogs.

Administering medication to your pet is often a major challenge. At pharma.pet we translate scientific solutions into a treat that your animal will like to eat. 

The nutritional supplements are enriched with concentrate from natural resources that contribute to supporting health. On the one hand we have the Supplements, which work in a complementary and supportive way, and, on the other hand, the Supports that provide additional health support for ailments. The Multivitamin is a general complex packed with vitamins and minerals to offer your four-legged friend that little bit extra.

Do you need to administer medication coming from the veterinarian? That is also easier now with the Transporter. Slide the capsule into the Transporter, close the ends by squeezing them a little bit and give it to your dog. Due to the delicious taste and smell of chicken liver, this tailor-made transporter ensures that administering medication runs much smoother.

In short, years of scientifically substantiated knowledge in a bite-sized solution.
