One product is always keep on hand and use is the K-9 Bluelite from Revival: Dog Healthcare Products | Dog Electrolyte Solution | Dog Rehydration Supplement | Pet Supply
It is an electrolyte product, the same as the pedialyte but in powder form. It is much more economical since you only add the powder to water when you need it.
As breeders there are many products we keep on had for emergencies but when giving advice to others, often people don't have all the necessary products on hand so we have to go with what might be readily available until they can get something better. |
OH, I agree 100%, my vet said that if you have a toy breed dog that can go down hill very fast having a bottle or two of pedialyte is a must, I also recomend it to my adoptive parents, Karo syrop, pedialyte and nutrical are a MUST have at home items when you have toy breeds. and it also works for the bigger dogs too..
