FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: When is a high-calorie gel helpful for a dog or cat?

Ans: This nutritional gel can provide extra nourishment to dogs and cats that are not eating enough. Along with concentrated calories, it supplies fats and essential vitamins to help maintain healthy body weight and energy levels during periods of poor appetite, reduced food intake, or recovery.

Q2: How much of this calorie booster gel should I give my pet daily?

Ans: For general nutritional support, give one teaspoon per 10 pounds of body weight daily. If your pet is eating less than usual, this amount can be increased to two teaspoons per 10 pounds of body weight each day. Always check with your veterinarian first.

Q3: Is this nutritional gel suitable for pets that are difficult to feed?

Ans: Yes, the tasty gel is made to appeal to picky eaters and pets with a poor appetite. A small amount can be placed on the nose or in the mouth to help the pet get used to the taste, which may encourage eating when regular meals are refused.

Q4: How much metabolizable energy is found in a single serving?

Ans: A serving of about 6 grams, or one teaspoon, contains approximately 28 kilocalories of metabolizable energy, with the calculation based on 4,760 kilocalories per kilogram. The concentrated calorie content allows dogs and cats to receive additional energy from a small amount, which is useful for daily supplemental feeding.

Q5: Should this calorie supplement take the place of my pet's balanced diet?

Ans: No, the gel should be used only to supplement a pet's regular feeding routine and is not a replacement for a balanced daily diet. Giving it with normal meals can add calories and nutrients during times when extra intake may be needed, including recovery, being underweight, or a temporary loss of appetite.

Q6: What ingredients are in this nutritional supplement?

Ans: This gel supplement contains ingredients such as corn syrup, soybean oil, malt syrup, cane molasses, and salmon oil, along with essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin E, vitamin D3, vitamin B12, iron, and manganese, plus potassium sorbate and mixed tocopherols as preservatives.

Q7: Is it okay to offer this gel with my pet's usual meals?

Ans: Yes, you can give this gel with your pet's normal food. It is intended to add extra calories and nutrients as an intermittent or supplemental feeding option, while regular meals continue to provide the pet's daily diet.

Q8: How can I prevent improper storage of this nutritional gel?

Ans: Keep the product closed when it is not being used and store it in an area free from direct heat and sunlight. Avoid freezing the gel because the change in temperature can affect its texture and nutritional effectiveness. For safety, keep the supplement in a place that is inaccessible to children.
