Last week we had our ‘Vets Choice’ stand delivered along with 15 unique products. Products range from dental care and ear cleaners for your pets to keeping your home clean and fresh. All products can be bought over the counter and prices range from £5.95 to £16.95.

Vets Choice dental range

One of our passions at Coquet Vets is dental care. The ‘Vets Choice’ offers a dental care range which includes toothpaste with a finger brush, ‘Plaqaid’ - which is an oral solution that is put into your pet’s drinking water to reduce plaque build-up. We also stock ‘Gum Wipes’. These are a quick and easy way to keep on top of your pet’s dental hygiene.

The ideal method of plaque reduction is daily brushing with a good quality toothpaste. Dogs and cats tolerate finger toothbrushes better than a regular toothbrush and the delicious beef taste of the toothpaste will mean that your pet looks forward to having their teeth brushed every day.

Keeping your pets clean and healthy

One of the most common clinical presentations in our veterinary clinics is ear disease. There can be a number of reasons why dogs and cats may experience inflammation in the ear canal and some animals are particularly prone to these problems.

‘Klear’ is a routine ear cleaner and is designed to help clean the external ear canals of any dog or cat and is specially formulated to encourage evaporation of any water in the ear, thereby drying the canal. A regular cleaning routine may be necessary to reduce the frequency of flare ups.

‘TearClear’ is perfect if you own a white or light coloured dog or cat. This easy solution removes and prevents tear stains.

Moving on to digestive health: digestive upsets are very common in dogs, often because they eat things they shouldn’t! ‘Respyt’ is a probiotic supplement designed to help maintain a healthy digestive system in your dog. It contains ‘friendly’ bacteria in the form of Enterococcus faecium along with two beneficial amino acids, which act as specific nutrients and are especially necessary at times of digestive upset.

We find a lot of new puppies can have digestive upsets as they are changing on to different diets and also eating things they shouldn’t. It is a great product to have something in the house just in case.

The next product is ‘Stimulin’. This is a highly palatable chewable tablet formulated to help support joints in dogs. Regular use will support healthy joint structure and support mobility, which all helps to give your dogs a new lease of life.

Now time to help your dog smell wonderful!

The routine shampoo, ‘S18 Shampoo’, is a gentle conditioning shampoo, which also contains aloe vera to act as natural soothing and help maintain skin. It has a delicious smell and is perfect for regular use in your pet.

The medicated shampoo ‘M37 Shampoo’ is designed to aid with management of most skin conditions. It is mild and gentle on the skin and has a very pleasant aroma. The pH is matched to the dog’s skin to ensure it does not aggravate any existing sin conditions. ‘Maxisheen’ is a deodorising spray; it is a general use condition spray for your pet’s coat. It contains aloe vera and vitamin E to aid in skin and coat health and an agent to help limit the population of bacteria or yeast.

‘Gomega’ is an oral liquid that is mixed into your pet’s food. It has been specifically formulated with the needs of your pet’s skin, coat and nails in mind. It contains Omega 6 and Omega 3 essential fatty acids that your pet needs to maintain a healthy glossy coat.

Small skin abrasions are inevitable in the life of a cat or a dog. ‘Wound Cream’ is an effective antiseptic cream for cuts and abrasions. The product contains a combination of ingredients that can aid in the management of most minor skin irritations, such as red inflamed skin. The cream is less irritating to the animals so the potential for additional self-harm can be controlled before it starts, therefore aiding the natural healing process.

Hairball remedy is the saver to cats who over groom. ‘Lubix’ is formulated to aid in cat gastro intestinal health, especially ones who may be ingesting large amounts of fur. It contains prebiotics and lubricants to aid the passage of any fur. It also has flavourings to ensure that your cat will enjoy the ‘Lubix’ paste.

Keeping your home fresh and clean

Most pet owners will encounter the problem of stained carpets, especially the first few weeks into puppy training. ‘Stainmaster’ contains a highly specialised enzyme profile that aids in the natural degradation of soiling, particularly in carpets. This means it will completely eradicate the mess - not just mask it with something else - thereby minimising the likelihood that your pet will choose to toilet in the same position again.

It comes in a convenient 500ml spray or a 1 litre douser bottle. It can be used safely on carpets, bedding, upholstery or clothing.

An essential product for new puppy owners

Another essential product for new puppy and kitten owners is ‘Redux’, an anti-chew spray. It is a gentle spray that can be used on the animal themselves, dressing bandages, furniture, personal items or around the home. It contains a bitter tasting agent that acts as a deterrent so that your pet will think twice before licking or biting where it has been sprayed.

Special product set offer for dog owners

For just £20, you can buy each of these Vets Choice product sets for your dog, which is a saving of £10 overall. Each pack contains a ‘Redux’ Anti-Chew Spray, a ‘S18 Shampoo’, a ‘Vets Choice Toothpaste’ and either a ‘Kong Teething Stick’ or a ‘Kong Puppy Toy’. The products are suitable for dogs of any age but they are mostly for puppies.
