Lactovac 250ml Stool Softener for Dogs | Gentle Osmotic Pet Laxative

Description

• • Lactulose: An organic, non-absorbable sugar derivative that acts as a natural osmotic stool softener.
  • Water Retention: Draws moisture directly into the large intestine to naturally soften firm, dry waste.
  • Comfortable Transit: Promotes easier and smoother elimination to minimize straining and physical discomfort.
  • Prebiotic Effect: Breaks down into organic compounds within the gut, nourishing beneficial microflora to maintain a balanced pet microbiome.

• • Gentle Action: Encourages normal biological waste movement without irritating the intestinal lining.
  • Liquid Format: Mixes effortlessly into your dog’s regular food or daily water supply.
  • Targeted Design: Developed to safely support the unique digestive tract of domestic animals.

• Administration: Blend the required portion directly with your dog’s meals or feed orally.
• Hydration: Ensure your pet has a fresh bowl of clean water available at all times.
• Professional Guidance: Consult your licensed veterinarian for precise serving sizes based on your dog’s weight

Generally recommended dosage:

10 ml per 25 kg body weight at 12 hrs intervals as starting dose. May be reduced for long term use as per vet’s advice.

• • Initial Response: You should notice results within 1 to 2 days as the solution draws moisture into the colon to soften firm waste.
  • Dose Adjustment: A veterinarian will typically titrate the frequency or amount during the first few days until the “stool goal” is reached—ideally 2 to 3 soft, formed stools per day.

• • Extended Use: For dogs with chronic underlying conditions that cause persistent hard stools (such as mega-colon or pelvic strictures), lactulose is frequently given as a long-term daily maintenance supplement.
  • No Fixed End-Date: There is no rigid maximum timeframe for administration. It can be fed for as long as the dog requires digestive assistance, provided they do not develop adverse side effects.

• Hydration Checks: Long-term use requires your dog to have unrestricted access to clean drinking water, as osmotic softeners constantly draw body water into the bowel.
• Electrolyte Monitoring: If your dog is on lactulose for months at a time, a veterinarian may occasionally recommend routine blood electrolyte checks to ensure they stay perfectly balanced.
• The Diarrhea Threshold: If the stools transition from soft to watery diarrhea, the duration of use should be paused or the dosage reduced immediately under veterinary guidance to prevent dehydration.

• Hydration: Because lactulose acts by drawing water into the colon, it is essential that the dog has unrestricted access to fresh drinking water to avoid dehydration.
• Monitoring: The dose should be adjusted under veterinary guidance to avoid excessive soft stools or diarrhea. [1, 2]
• Pre-existing Conditions: Diabetic dogs should be monitored closely by a veterinarian, as lactulose may cause an increase in blood glucose levels.
