Virbac Vetasyl is a natural dietary fiber supplement for cats and dogs. Encourages natural elimination without the aid of chemicals, while providing a gentle, effective relief from constipation. Convenient, easy-to-administer. For dogs and cats.
Vetasyl is also useful in managing diabetic dogs and cats because increasing the amount of dietary fiber helps promote weight loss and slows glucose absorption from the intestinal tract, thereby reducing the postprandial (post-eating) fluctuations in blood glucose. By reducing these fluctuations, better control of hyperglycemia (elevated blood sugar levels) is achieved.
Veterinarians routinely recommend giving Vetasyl to pets with a history of anal gland infections, impactions or having had a ruptured anal gland. Increasing the fiber in the diet will help normal evacuation of the anal glands during bowel movements and act as a preventative for further anal gland problems.
