Overview: Veterinarian’s Apawthecary™ brand liquid vitamin supplements are formulated for use in dogs, cats and other small companion animals. All B vitamins are water soluble and are not effectively stored by the mammalian body. Generally speaking, most B vitamins are continuously lost through diuresis. Therefore, adequate quantities must be provided through diet or supplementation.
The primary focus of this formula is to deliver supplementary or therapeutic dosages of USP grade vitamins in a form that allows fast and complete absorption while offering optimal palatability in most animals. This formula is alcohol-free, using USP grade vegetable glycerin as a base that is very sweet, but does not affect blood sugar levels. Natural raspberry flavoring has been added to further enhance palatability.
Method of Administration: Best applied by squirting the desired dose directly into the animal’s mouth, preferably between meals. This allows for optimal absorption, without interference from food materials that remain in the intestine. If direct administration is not possible, feeding with liquid (water, broth, etc.) is a rational second choice. If all else fails, the formulas can be added to food, but higher dosage might be required for best absorption.
Directions for Use: Squirt directly into mouth or add to food, once daily. Dogs up to 30 lbs: 1.0ml (30-40 drops) 30-60 lbs: 2 ml; over 60 lbs: 2-3 ml Cats - 0.5 ml (about 20 drops )

B Complex is helping my cat as we travel through this challenge together. We Sub-Q 2x/ wk and use a few other products from Animal Essential to help. There has been small improvement on her bloodwork relating to her kidney (twice taken within last 2 months). No other major issues so far.
My geriatric cat was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease & eats Hills k/d now. As a retired registered nurse I scoured the Internet for veterinary published feline CKD studies. The need for B-complex and Omega oils is most prevalent. After searching for a full B-complex as close to the latest requirements published I finally found this which fits the bill so well. I mix it in a pipette with his fish oil since he won’t accept anything in his food. I give a weekly B-12 subcutaneous injection also. This is the best formulation of B-complex vitamins for cats & dogs that you can find anywhere, I believe.
Ellie Mae has not had a seizure in 1-1/2 years. In lieu of pharmaceuticals, I switched to a completely raw and homemade balanced diet supplemented with your B-complex AND Super Hemp. I feel your products have contributed to reducing her seizures from 3-4 a week down to ZERO for 18 months and counting. She is a healthy, happy, senior puppy with lots of energy now!
I'm so pleased with this product! B-complex without a lot of other vitamins, minerals, etc, is not easy to find for dogs, & when my only other source became unavailable, i was in a panic. After finding this i believe it's actually a better product than what I had been using for my girl. She's dx'd with chronic renal failure, & i make her food & use necessary supplements. The jury may still be out on the necessity of B-complex for dogs with renal issues, but for me, the proof is in the results, and for my girl this helps a great deal. So happy i found this product, it's helping my girl stay well. Thank you so much!
