Reviews

Vladimir Mikhailovich Surikov, veterinarian:

"Not all the nutrients found in home-cooked and ready-to-eat foods are absorbed by animals. For example, some vitamins are quickly destroyed by oxygen if the food is transported at improper temperature conditions or stored in an open package. Therefore, I always recommend that dog owners periodically, once a quarter, provide their pets with a monthly "vitamin therapy." I consider Excel 8 in 1 Multivitamins for dogs from the German company 8 in 1 Pet Products to be high-quality and safe: their formula was developed with the help of veterinarians, and they contain no artificial ingredients or modified products. A special advantage of these vitamin and mineral complexes is the availability of several options for dogs of different ages, as their body needs for bioactive substances vary."

Tatyana, Rostov Oblast

"We have a young Shiba Inu named Linda. Although our dog doesn't have a big appetite, this "plush" Japanese breed requires a special diet: it should contain fish and seafood, as well as sufficient macro-, microelements, and vitamins. Therefore, we feed Linda Excel calcium 8 in 1 for dogs for two weeks, followed by a month's break—it has received very good reviews. We found the dosage in the instructions: for a dog weighing 15 kg, feed one tablet per day. Our pet is in excellent physical condition."

Sergey, Samara

"Feeding a one-year-old Spitz "We're feeding him natural food, and on the veterinarian's recommendation, we're also giving him Multi Vitamin Puppy Excel as a supplement: one tablet daily for a month, then a break of the same length. We're feeding him the tablets whole, and he seems to enjoy them; he even considers them a treat."
