Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: When is a high-calorie gel helpful for a dog or cat?

Ans: This nutritional gel can provide extra nourishment to dogs and cats that are not eating enough. Along with concentrated calories, it supplies fats and essential vitamins to help maintain healthy body weight and energy levels during periods of poor appetite, reduced food intake, or recovery.

Ans: A serving of about 6 grams, or one teaspoon, contains approximately 28 kilocalories of metabolizable energy, with the calculation based on 4,760 kilocalories per kilogram. The concentrated calorie content allows dogs and cats to receive additional energy from a small amount, which is useful for daily supplemental feeding.

Q5: Should this calorie supplement take the place of my pet's balanced diet?

Ans: No, the gel should be used only to supplement a pet's regular feeding routine and is not a replacement for a balanced daily diet.

Ans: Yes, you can give this gel with your pet's normal food. It is intended to add extra calories and nutrients as an intermittent or supplemental feeding option, while regular meals continue to provide the pet's daily diet.

Q8: How can I prevent improper storage of this nutritional gel?

Ans: Keep the product closed when it is not being used and store it in an area free from direct heat and sunlight. Avoid freezing the gel because the change in temperature can affect its texture and nutritional effectiveness. For safety, keep the supplement in a place that is inaccessible to children.
