COBALIN® 

COBALIN® is a vitamin B12 and vitamin B9 supplement for dogs and cats, formulated to support healthy cobalamin and folate levels.

COBALIN® 

COBALIN® is a supplement designed to support healthy levels of vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, and vitamin B9, also known as folate, in dogs and cats.

Low cobalamin and folate concentrations can occur when pets experience gastrointestinal issues, which can interfere with normal vitamin absorption. COBALIN® provides both vitamins in an easy-to-administer oral capsule.

The sprinkle capsule formulation is designed to be easy to mix with food.

Pack Size: COBALIN® is available in packs of 60 capsules.

Information on B Vitamins

Vitamin B12 and vitamin B9 are water-soluble B vitamins with important roles in normal cellular function, metabolism and growth. Low B vitamin levels can look very similar to other gastrointestinal issues. We would always recommend speaking to your vet practice for further advice if you notice: • Reduced appetite • Lack of energy • Weight loss • Loose stools • Weakness • Poor body or coat condition

How can COBALIN® help my pet ?

Gastrointestinal issues can require a multimodal approach to get the best outcome for your pet, including diet, supplementation and medication. Some gastrointestinal issues can affect vitamin levels, particularly B vitamins, which may require supplementation as it can be challenging to increase certain vitamin levels by diet alone. Cobalamin is required for several normal cellular and metabolic processes and when absorption is impaired, additional oral supplementation can help increase and maintain blood cobalamin concentrations. COBALIN® can be used as part of this to provide B vitamin support and can be administered at home.

Why does my vet recommend COBALIN® ?

Historically, the only option to deal with low vitamin B12 levels was to give regular injections. It has now been shown that supplementing vitamin B12 in the food can be very effective, without the need for regular trips to the vets to receive an injection. COBALIN® allows you to easily manage your pets vitamin B12 and B9 levels at home, by simply mixing into food. COBALIN® combines vitamin B12 and vitamin B9 in one veterinary formulation, in a stable form that correspond with amounts evaluated in dogs and cats requiring oral supplementation. Benefits include: • Straightforward home administration • Flexible administration whole or with food • Bodyweight-based daily amounts • Suitability for long-term supplementation There are lots of different supplements available, however it is important to trust your veterinary surgeon’s advice on which one is right for your pet and why. At VetPlus, animals deserve the best. This is why we always produce the best products for the pet, from the best possible ingredients in our state-of-the-art UK facility. As a result, COBALIN® is used by vets in many countries globally.

How does COBALIN®  taste?
