About Canitone Tablet

Canitone Tablet is a calcium supplement from Virbac for dogs, in tablet form. It contains calcium. Calcium is the main mineral in bones and teeth, and it also helps muscles and nerves work.

It is used for growing puppies and kittens on a vet-advised plan, pregnant and nursing animals and older pets with weak bones. Give it alongside a complete and balanced diet, and speak to your vet first if your dog is unwell or on other medicines.

Features and Benefits

• Mineral supplement. Used for growing puppies and kittens on a vet-advised plan and pregnant and nursing animals.
• Tablet form. Tablets are easy to store, and you can hide them in a small piece of food if your vet allows.
• Veterinary brand. Made by Virbac, a company that supplies vets and pet pharmacies.
• Daily routine. Fits into your dog's daily routine alongside regular food.

How It Works

• Calcium. It tops up the calcium the body uses to build bone, contract muscles and produce milk.

How to Use

• Daily amount. Give the amount printed on the pack for your dog's weight, or the amount your vet advises. More is not better with vitamins and minerals.
• Giving a tablet. Place it at the back of the tongue, close the mouth gently and stroke the throat until your pet swallows. You can also hide it in a small piece of food if your vet says this is fine.
• With food. Most pets take supplements best with a meal. You can mix liquids and powders into food or give them directly.
• Storage. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, unless the pack gives other storage directions. Keep out of reach of children.

Safety and Precautions

• Supplements support a complete and balanced diet. They do not replace it, or any treatment your vet prescribes.
• Too much calcium can harm growing large-breed puppies, whose bones develop best on a balanced diet. Ask your vet before adding calcium to a complete puppy food.
• Give calcium a couple of hours apart from antibiotics such as doxycycline or tetracycline.
• This product is labelled for dogs. Do not use it on cats or other animals unless your vet says so.
• Stop and speak to your vet if your dog has vomiting, diarrhoea or seems unwell after starting it.
