bingo Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hi there I'm looking at giving my dogs multivitamins on a daily basis, and was just wondering if anyone has a preferred pet brand multivitamin such as vetbasix or aristopet? I also have just purchased some of the vetbasix (Rudducks) vitamin tablets for the first time. Upon opening the container I've noticed a large ball like bundle of a plastc wool of some sort sitting atop the tablets between them, and the lid. I'm just wondering if they're meant to come like this, and if so what purpose does this plastic wool of sorts serve. Thanks Bingo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likey used to cushion them and stop breakage on their way from the manafacturer, to the shop and then to you. Chemists will often still put cotton wool in tablet bottles to cushion the tablets.

Garloch Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I like to use Petvite. It comes in powder form in a tub, and can be given easily according to weight. I just sprinkle it over food, and they eat it up. They all get it every day. I feed a mix of home-made wet food, 2/3 premium dry foor, bit of cheese, yoghurt, etc. They don't know any different. They also think their omega 3/6 oil capsules are treats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And does the powder have the cotton wool between the powder and the lid? I think the question was about the packing wool. Just trying to link your reply to the question :rolleyes: Edited July 23, 2008 by cavNrott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had anything like it before and didn't think that it would be used for cushioning really you'd think they'd be able to either make the container the right size or even better fill the existing one right up to the top.

ellz Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Just feed a good balanced diet and you won't need to bother with multivits (or cotton wool). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatBigPuppy Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Haven't you heard about the cotton wool diet? Admittedly - I hear it's fluffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
