Dietary Supplements

girlandblondedog.jpgPets make wonderful companions and friends. The health and well-being of pets has become an increasingly important aspect of today’s society. The role of pets in providing human companionship is even more important for people who are isolated from other people, through illness or age. Growing scientific evidence supports anecdotal reports of the value of pets in human wellness. Researchers in fields from mental illness to Alzheimer’s report positive results when patients are exposed to various companion animals.

Maintaining the health of companion animals is an important responsibility of pet owners. Veterinary care, love and attention along with nutritional supplements play an important role in the longevity of pets. This care becomes particularly critical as the pet ages.

MVP Laboratories is pleased to be a part of the human-pet bond by providing veterinarians and their clients with a variety of dietary supplements for dogs and cats.

Occasionally, geriatric dogs and cats display clinical signs unexplainable by a specific pathological diagnosis. These include:
  1. Lethargy and reduced awareness of surroundings
  2. Poor coat; excessive shedding or thin, dry coat
  3. Chronic constipation or fecal incontinence
  4. Inappropriate urination
  5. Poor appetite; animal eats too little to maintain an adequate body weight
  6. Poor mental acuity

For animals displaying one or more of these conditions, choline supplementation with CHOLODIN® may be considered as an appropriate dietary supplement. Essentially, through dietary supplementation, Cholodin® can help the older pet regain some physical characteristics lost to aging. Veterinary consultation is important to maximize your results.

MVP Laboratories provides four different dietary supplements to assist in the health and well-being of cats and dogs – particularly important in geriatrics.
Cholodin®
Cholodin®-FEL
Cholodin® Flex
Cholo Gel™ Oral

Cholodin® and Cholodin® FEL: Choline-Loading Dietary Supplements

CHOLO1.gif  
Cholodin® is the original choline-loading supplement formulated for geriatric canine and feline patients. Cholodin® contains choline, amino acids, vitamins and minerals in a chewable tablet or powder formulation.

Cholodin® FEL offers the same dependable performance as Cholodin®, plus taurine and an enhanced flavor base for cats.

Cholodin® contains sources of choline and phosphatidylcholine, two of the most common phospholipids. When present in sufficient dietary quantities, these components act as neurotransmitter precursors, which are chemicals manufactured and released by nerve cells that initiate the sending of "messages" from those cells. Choline has four major functions:

  1. Significant dietary factor in preventing fatty liver syndrome in diabetic dogs
  2. Can ‘donate’ methyl groups (CH3) needed to synthesize other metabolic compounds
  3. Necessary for acetylcholine formation
  4. Component of the phospolipid, lecithin along with being a constituent of plasmalogens, which are abundant in mitochondria and sphingomyelin, bound particularly in the brain

Other key ingredients include: lecithin, methionine, inositol, vitamin B12, thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxine, niacinamide, pantothenic acid, selenium, vitamin E, zinc.

CHOLODIN® is available in bottles of 50, 180 and 500 palatable tablets and 1 lb. tubs.

Cholodin®-FEL is available in bottles of 50 chewable tablets.

Both Cholodin® and Cholodin®-FEL are available from any veterinary clinic.

Cholodin® Flex and Cholo Gel™ Oral:

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural substance and usually exists as a sodium salt forming a highly viscous fluid with exceptional lubricating qualities. The highest levels are found in the skin and joints. There are also high levels found in the eyes, cartilage, heart, intervertebral discs of the spine, and in fluids of the inner ear and middle ear. The importance in the lubrication of joints and decreasing joint pain and inflammation has been well documented. It is also important in vision, integrity of tissues, bacterial invasiveness, elasticity of skin, circulatory lubricant, and molecular transport between cells.

Unfortunately as pets age, levels of HA decreases. When levels decrease, tissues become less elastic resulting in wrinkles and aches and pains. Painful joints are often deficient in hyaluronic acid. When HA decreases, the joints are not adequately lubricated which results in pain and inflammation. Hyaluronic acid is not only important for normal joint function but may also play a key role in numerous physiological functions.
