RECHARGE FOR DOGS ORAL REHYDRATION 500ML VIRBAC 3980
Recharge for Dogs is the sports drink for dogs
It is common for dogs to lose large amounts of fluids and electrolytes during travelling and other stressful situations such as competition, racing and during hot weather from excessive panting.
Unless these losses are rapidly replaced, dehydration, muscle cramping, loss of performance and nervousness can occur.
Recharge for Dogs is great for use during periods of hot weather, after exercise and during travel.
Recharge aids in restoring fluid and electrolytes and aids in rapid recovery from fatigue and dehydration.
Features:
Recharge is very easy to use.
Simply add to cool, clean drinking water.
There is no need to wait until the dog has consumed a meal.
It comes in a handy portable pack to administer at events and during travel.
