How Vitamins Can Nourish Your Practice...As Well As Your Client's Pets

Summer is nearly upon us, and with the warm weather dogs and their owners spend more time outside, which can mean an increase in table scraps from barbeques and outdoor gatherings.   More scraps means a decrease in nutrition if dogs are eating less of their own food – table scraps aren't formulated to give them the nutrients they need.   But poor nutrition is not just about table scraps.  What pet owners don't realize is that once you open a bag of food, exposure to oxygen lowers the nutritional content.  In addition, not all foods have all the essential nutrients pets need to maintain optimal health.

Vitamins are an easy solution to this problem.   They can only help maintain a pet's health, not degrade it.  Unlike drugs, they don't have side effects and pets cannot overdose on them.   For many pets, studies show there can be improvements such as a nicer coat, better balance and an improvement in alertness.

PCI Animal Health proudly carries the Lloyd brand of multivitamins, which are designed for pets and sold exclusively sold to licensed veterinarians.  Lloyd (www.lloydinc.com) is a pharmaceutical company that makes nutraceuticals for pets. “Our commitment is to the independent veterinarian and our vitamins are made in our FDA approved facility, which speaks to the quality,” says David Tori, Regional Sales Manager, with Lloyd.

Lloyd's multivitamins contain essential nutrients required for proper pet nutrition, and even contain ingredients like omega-3 fatty acids and choline for optimal heart and brain health.  In addition to the three main multivitamin products Pet-Form, Geri-Form and Felo-Form, they carry a host of specialty products designed to help treat everything from skin conditions and bone health to hypothyroidism and animal poisoning.
