Chocolate Look-a-like Helps Medicine Go Down!
PET PRODUCT NEWS: Totally new for dog owners is a range of targeted health supplements containing specific active ingredients within a carob choc. Carob is an edible bean used to make a product similar to chocolate but free from caffeine and theobromine so it is ideal for dogs. Dogs think they are enjoying a 'real chocolate', whilst owners are happy to know they are helping to keep their dog healthy in a totally safe way. The new concept products, Carob-Plus Supplements have been specially formulated, in association with leading university and veterinary professionals, to ensure easily administered, safe and effective healthcare. Carob-Plus uniquely combines a safe alternative to chocolate with healthcare supplements, to provide a fun, appealing and effective way to keep dogs healthy! There are five Carob-Plus products each containing a group of carefully selected natural ingredients known for their therapeutic benefits in specific health areas. Carob produces the chocolaty taste that dogs love and are more than happy to eat even with other less appetising ingredients contained inside. There is a Carob-Plus specifically formulated to support a dog's immune system, digestive system, joints, to help with stress and one to maintain healthy bones and teeth. The naturally medicated carob dog choc is a totally new concept making it easy to administer supplements that would not normally be at all palatable. The company responsible for researching, developing and manufacturing the range is based in the UK and has had many years of related experience. Previously, the manufacturers have been producing products for the health conscious and those with special dietary needs who cannot eat normal chocolate. The range includes Carob-Plus Joints & Mobility, Carob-Plus Bones & Teeth, Carob-Plus Immune System Stimulant, Carob-Plus Stress Relief and Carob-Plus Prebiotic Digestive Supplement. The range is gluten, wheat and dairy free and each pot contains 30 supplement tablets. Each product combines a number of essential and effective ingredients, including such things as valerian and chamomile for stress relief, chicory inulin and ginger for the digestion, milk thistle and echinacea for the immune system and glucosamine and green-lipped mussel for the joints, as well as various vitamins and minerals. These carefully chosen ingredients are known to have specific health giving properties for each individual use. One tablet is recommended per 15kg of body weight and the tablet can be halved for smaller dogs. Carob is popular among the health conscious because of the health benefits of the carob bean, which includes aiding digestion and acting as an antioxidant. Carob tannins contain Gallic Acid, which is an analgesic, anti-allergic, anti-bacterial, antiviral and antiseptic. Carob-Plus Joints & Mobility is a good choice for large breed dogs where joint discomfort is more common, whilst Carob-Plus Bones & Teeth is ideal for puppies and breeding bitches. Carob-Plus Immune System Stimulant is a good general supplement for all dogs and Carob-Plus Prebiotic Digestive Supplement is indicated for those with troublesome digestions promoting the growth of 'good bacteria' in the lower intestines and aiding the absorption of the essential vitamins and minerals the body needs. Carob-Plus Stress Relief would be ideal for dogs adjusting to a new home, separation related problems, fireworks or any similar difficult situation. The Carob-Plus range is selling though the pet and veterinary channels with a recommended retail price of £9.99 for each pot of 30 (one months supply for a medium sized dog). The company's website at www.carob-plus.co.uk contains further information on the ingredients used in each product and their known benefits.
