Vet Classics Blood & Energy Support Chewable Tablets for Dogs

For dogs.

Product Description

Blood & Energy Support is a veterinarian-formulated chewable tablet built around iron, B vitamins, and a blend of botanicals and whole-food ingredients that supply the building blocks the body uses to make hemoglobin. It's positioned for dogs whose energy and stamina have flagged — hard-working and sporting dogs, dogs recovering from surgery or whelping, and dogs coming back from a heavy parasite burden.

The formula leads with brewer's dried yeast, angelica sinensis, yellow dock, chlorella, and alfalfa, with lycium, ligusticum, raspberry leaf, red clover, and spirulina, plus vitamin and mineral blends that include B12, iron, copper, and cobalt. The tablets are chewable and flavored, so most dogs take them without a fight.

How to Use

Give twice daily by body weight, following the label or your veterinarian's direction.

Give consistently. Red blood cell turnover takes weeks, so any nutritional support of this kind works on a timescale of a month or more, not days.

Cautions

For dogs. This is a nutritional supplement, not an FDA-approved drug, and not a substitute for veterinary diagnosis or treatment.

Tell your veterinarian about all supplements your dog receives, especially if your dog is on other medication or already getting a multivitamin — iron and fat-soluble vitamins A and D can accumulate if a dog is getting them from several sources at once.

Keep out of reach of children and pets. The tablets are palatable, so don't leave the container where a dog can get into it, and contact your veterinarian or an animal poison control center if your dog eats a large number at once.

Talk to your veterinarian first

Lethargy, exercise intolerance, and pale gums are signs of anemia, and anemia is always a symptom of something else — a bleeding ulcer, tick-borne disease, immune-mediated destruction of red cells, kidney disease, or a bleeding tumor among them. Several of those are serious and time-sensitive, and none are treated with a supplement.

A dog who is unusually tired, has pale or white gums, is breathing faster than normal, or has dark or bloody stool needs a veterinary exam, not a nutritional product. Use this alongside a diagnosis, not instead of one.
