Protexin Veterinary Cobalaplex Capsules for Cats and Dogs, Vitamin B12 and Vitamin B9 Supplement for Gut Health, Chicken Flavour, 60 Capsules

A Vet recommended I try 'myProtexin' on my poorly 16 year old pussycat who is suffering from pancreatitus, weight loss, loss of appetite & kidney problems. Since taking 'MyProtexin' along with other significant dietary changes, I have noticed a marked improvement in his digestion. He has fewer episodes of sickness, he has developed a voracious appeitite and gained weight; he is returning to his old ways & is tearing around the house when having a funny five minutes, jumping up on our laps and is no longer distressed, disinterested or depressed, refusing to eat or giving up! As well as implementing 'myProtexin', I was lucky enough to have a dear niece who advised I adopt an holistic approach to improve my elderly cat's well-being and quality of life. I looked into this and oh my, what a difference, tender, loving care makes! I now hand feed my cat with Licky-Lix, (about five different flavours per day), chop up his wet-food into smaller pieces and dissolve one 'myprotextin' capsule into it. I replace his water jug with fresh water every day, (he prefers to drink from a jug in the bathroom, than water from a dish).I continually talk to him, sing to him, interact with him, play with him, brush him and I have put a sheepskin rug under the radiator in the bathroom, which is his go to place when we are not around and where he stretches, curls, paddles and lies upside down, whilst absorbing all the heat and warmth he can. He also has a box on the work top in the kitchen where he sits watching us, with his chin resting on the rim of the box, just letting the world go by; he is comfortable, happy, his health is improving, he goes in and out on his own accord and is enjoying his own and our company when he wants it! It is such a joy to 'see' my old cat back with us; he is very much his old-self again and I hope, if his quality of life remains as it is, he can live a contented life for many more years to come.

Vet suggested these as dog’s blood test showed low vit b due to malabsorption, her next blood test was much improved.

My cat has thyroid problems but that is all under control, but however he has a bit of diarrhoea so the vet recommended me to use this.Sorry I can’t say anything else about this product because since he has been taking it he hasn’t been using his cat tray so I can’t say if it is working or not sorry.I do give a capsule every other day on top of his biscuits and he eats it. I got the chicken flavour.Would be interesting to see if it works.

Great product, delivered the next day!

Update: November 2020: After posting my review in July I’m sorry but I’m calling into question the efficacy of the last two boxes purchased under Subscribe and Save. My dog had started to ‘beg’ for food and also become a little anxious and a little bit over excited before meal times and the best way to describe it is OTT by the time it came to the actual feed time. I thought oh oh, why is he so very hungry? NOTHING had changed to bring this behaviour on. He’s wormed without fail every 3 months, feel we have a duty to the dog, ourselves and others health and safety. It dawned on me could it be that these tabs are actually not up to par and have his B12 levels dramatically dropped? With Covid-19 still a real risk we didn’t take our dog to the vets for a blood test but we paused Amazon purchase and bought these tabs from the vets. I guess you know what I’m going to say next! In a little over 2 weeks our wonderful dog has reverted to being completely satisfied with his meals again and doesn’t ‘beg’ in between at all: he’s HAPPY again! So relieved. Another symptom he had was his clean toilet habit was all over the place: not ‘performing’ as normal, and it was no joke getting up any time from 12 midnight to 5am night after night, but he was so good in telling us he needed outside and not wanting to soil anywhere in the house. His normal routine and ablutions have completely settled down again. No coincidence, no exaggeration, simply fact. Felt I had to write this update as other people’s dogs may have been affected and if so I hope this critique helps. Needless to say we’ve cancelled the Amazon subscription and will be buying from the vets in future. Bottom line: if your dog has vitamin B12 deficiency then the real tabs are the real deal.July 2020: A chance visit to an excellent locum vet put us on the right track with our dog’s problems by running blood tests and discovering extremely low Vitamin B12 levels. This deficiency meant food wasn’t being properly absorbed, it must’ve been awful not feeling full up or satisfied. These capsules sorted him out within 3 months: I split one capsule twice a day and sprinkle over his food, as per advice from vet rather than feeding whole or pushing down throat - potential serious choking hazard if goes down windpipe. Simply used small pair of scissors to split open if a bit difficult to split but lately batches have been great to open, makers seem to have realised and made it a cinch. He loves the taste, according to vet it’s chicken flavoured and he goes nuts with excitement when he sees me sprinkle it over his meal! Had tests done after this time and B12 levels were right up at the top of the spectrum. Kept him on them as not taking any chances with his health or his well being. A bit cheaper on Amazon and even more on Subscribe & Save. Win win.

Good
