Virbac Ostopet Liquid Calcium & Phosphorus Supplement Syrup with Vitamin D3 for Dogs & Cats (150ml Dispensing Bottle)

Select Variant: 1

Description

Ensure proper bone mineralization, support skeletal growth during development, and prevent calcium depletion with Virbac Ostopet Calcium Supplement Syrup (150ml), available online at PetMitra. Skeletal integrity in companion animals requires a consistent supply of calcium and phosphorus. Growing puppies and kittens—particularly fast-growing medium, large, and giant breeds—expand their skeleton rapidly. Home-prepared meals (such as boiled chicken and rice) are naturally deficient in bioavailable calcium, leading to nutritional deficiencies that can manifest as rickets, bowed limbs, poor dental enamel, and joint laxity. Furthermore, pregnant and nursing mothers face significant calcium demands that can trigger sudden, life-threatening eclampsia (puerperal tetany). Virbac Ostopet provides targeted skeletal nutrition through a well-absorbed mineral-vitamin complex: Dual Organic Calcium Matrix (Calcium Gluconate & Calcium Lactate): Unlike crude, insoluble calcium carbonate that requires heavy gastric acid secretion and can cause constipation, organic gluconate and lactate salts dissolve readily and absorb smoothly across the intestinal brush border without causing stomach irritation. Balanced Calcium-to-Phosphorus Ratio: Bone tissue is formed of hydroxyapatite crystal matrices requiring calcium and phosphorus in a balanced ratio. Ostopet supplies both macrominerals in harmony, preventing mineral antagonism and ensuring efficient bone deposition. Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) Absorption Catalyst: Vitamin D3 upregulates intestinal calcium-binding proteins (calbindin), facilitating active calcium and phosphorus transport from the gut lumen into the bloodstream and directing minerals into the skeleton. Accelerates Fracture & Orthopedic Healing: Supplies essential mineral building blocks to support osteoblast activity, speeding up callus formation and bone consolidation following fractures, bone pinning, or joint surgery. Guards Lactating Mothers Against Eclampsia: Replenishes heavy calcium loss through milk production, shielding mother dogs and queens from postpartum muscle tremors, stiffness, and hypocalcemic seizures. Palatable Liquid Vehicle: The sweet, smooth syrup format is readily accepted by pets, allowing for simple drizzling over meals or direct administration via the calibrated measuring cup.
