Vita Animal Health launches new intestinal medicine for cats and dogs

Vita Animal Health has launched Omniflora, a new product to support intestinal health in dogs and cats.

According to the animal health company, Omniflora delivers seven symbiotic ingredients to maintain and support intestinal function for both acute digestive upset and long term support.

It is available in the form of a paste as well as a tablet.

Omniflora paste aims to provide fast acting support in acute digestive upset or strategically ahead of perceived stressful events such as travel or veterinary appointments.

Its formula contains seven functional groups of ingredients: probiotics, prebiotics, adsorbents, parabiotics, postbiotics, electrolytes and nutrients of intestinal cell support.

These proven natural ingredients are believed to aid natural digestive balance, promote the microbiota and replenish the natural balance of gut bacteria.

The tablet contains the unique formulation of probiotics, prebiotics and adsorbent clay and fibre, designed to protect, support and maintain the natural intestinal environment.

Veterinary nurse and sales manager, Tara Evans, said: “Digestive upset in cats and dogs is common. We wanted to provide vets and pet owners with an easy-to-use solution that can be used in practice or at home. One tube of paste lasts for three consecutive days to support cats and dogs as they recover from gastrointestinal upset.

“We are learning more and more about the importance of the gut microbiota. It is recognised that the microbiota has a huge influence over the wellbeing of dogs and cats.”

Evans added: “As well as supporting the gut in acute episodes of digestive upset such as diarrhoea, Omniflora can be used ahead of time in stressful events such as travelling, visiting the groomers, or any planned veterinary procedures such as surgeries or blood tests.”
