Vet Classics Pet-A-Lyte Oral Electrolyte Solution for Dogs and Cats – Helps Replace Fluids Lost from Pet Dehydration, Diarrhea, Vomiting – Replaces Dog Electrolytes – 32 Oz.

One of my Shih Tzu was with loose stools, this product works wonders and she love it, also after vomiting is great to keep your pup well hydrated

Saved my recently adopted shelter dog from serious health issues. Already small and fragile, he was suffering from severe diarrhea and these electrolytes stabilized him and ensured that he had minimal strength while slowly recovering from his condition. For those folks who can't get their pets to drink this, it needs to be fed via syringe, but be very, very careful with this, do it slowly into the side of your pets mouth, and wait for them to swallow before administering more. If it gets into the lungs, it can kill your pet. Probably best for your vet to show you how to do it.

Wasted $20. It says great tasting but my dog absolutely hated it! It smells bad and he gagged at the taste. I struggled getting just 1ml in. Couldn't keep trying after that.

Our dog was very sick vomiting and couldn’t keep anything down. He refused to eat or even drink water. I started giving him 1 ml at a time of this electrolyte dog solution in a flush syringe. For reference our dog is 52 pounds and the solution recommends 3ml 3 times a day. For our dog it was easiest to given him 1 ml at a time over 15 minutes to equal the full 3ml dose. Within a few hours he began perking up and was less dehydrated. This solution contained essential vitamins and minerals our dog was lacking due to the vomiting. It helped him so much. After about 18 hours of pushing the electrolyte solution in him he began acting hungry again and less lethargic. I HIGHLY recommend this product for anyone whose dog is sick or dehydrated. It was safe and gentle in his belly and helped him get hydrated again and get his vitamins and minerals replenished. I cannot say enough good things about the electrolyte solution. This will be a staple in our house for our dogs.

I can confirm that this stuff stinks. It’s a weird muddy citrous like concoction.It’s only good for 30 days once opened.I recommend buying one and leaving it unopened in a spare refrigerator, that way you have it ready to go in case of an emergency.My older dog had a health scare, and we bought this to aid her rehydration. Neither of my dogs liked it. We used a pet liquid syringe to coax them into drinking it. I literally had to squirt it into the back of their throats with a syringe and tilt their heads back to get them to swallow.Now I know neither of my dogs will willingly drink it.That said, if either one of my dogs ever gets severely dehydrated, having this stuff on hand with a liquid syringe may be handy to keep them from going into shock.Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it, I guess.

I was concerned and also confused when I read the directions. I have an outside stray that is really dehydrated and won't drink. Been stringing him watery wet food with lots of water mixed in. As u know this is very dangerous because they can choke so easy. It says 3-4 Oz several times a day. Is that for real? I foster dogs and cats and that's insane. Plus there isn't getting that much liquid in a cat. I would be here all day or I would either choke my cat. I did read the lady's comment above. I agree. Tha k fod she's good at math. The watered down food is easier to syringe him because it's thicker and he can control it better In his mouth. I received this stuff last night. He usually eats about 40-50 ml of food 3 or 4 times a day. So I added equal part water, this stuff, and rebound. Rebound is the name of a thick liquid that has all the nutrients ur pet needs from the water plus other healthy vitamins. Anyway. I thought we were going to lose this little guy the other day. Major constipation which I gave an emema type thing and helped him with the plug. Gave a laxative gel I bought the day before. It worked great and now his poops are nice and soft but formed and he's not pushing do hard. Hes so weak an tired from that that he lays a lot and has just been peeing and pooping laying down. No Interest or every to move to his pad to do his business. Decides to buy this stuff. What could I lose. Don't mention that I should take him to a vet because I did, 3 times. He has FIV and got blisters in his mouth and I received the norm or antibodies. I asked for the dub fluids because he had quit drinking. He got better and was eating on his own then on day he started stumbling and not eating or drinking. I called the vet and asked for ear drops because his head was tilted and he was unbalanced. He started getting better but never ate or drank by himself so I have been syringe feeding wet food watered down. I asked for a refill and they told me no and I needed to bring him in. That's the way they do it even if it's a med they have prescribed already. I spent over 1400 in 5 weeks and told them I couldn't afford it right now and they still wouldn't. So I'm stuck fighting for this baby and figuring out how to rehydrate him. So I fed him several times with my mixture yesterday and up till about an hour ago. Remind you he was not sta ding up and moving to the pad to do his business and just ,getting it go right there. He has to be fed and watered by syringe, but he does allow me to. He stayed in my roommates bedroom because she has like a little apt set up with an outside door. We have the other babies ans he's FIV so we have to protect them as well as him. I have a noonie cam i1n her room watching him and I wat he'd him walk from the dig bed to his little cage! He stumbled like crazy but he a tally was able, and wanted to, stand up and walk 5 feet to another location. I don't know if it has anything to do with his stuff or not but I wanted t leave a comment about that. It's a big deal. I'll get on in a couple days and update. So tne amount I'm giving him is approx 2 or 3 mls blended in a half can of wet food along with the water and rebound about every 4 hours. I'll take a ml to him about every hour or 2. So he probably consumed 30 MLS of the rehydration fluid in 16 hours which is about an Oz it believe. I'm just glad he's feeling better.

I tried this when I had a particularly long, drawn out critical care foster kitten case. This (in addition to medication and probiotics) really helped the kitten retain fluids while she was sickly. My adult cats didn't particularly like it, but that's okay with me since I ordered this specifically for the foster kitten. I wish it stayed shelf-stable a little while longer after opening- I'll probably only re-order if I can split the cost and container with other critical care foster givers, or if I have a sick dog that I know can consume the whole bottle within the allotted post-opening time limit.

Saved my chihuahua.
