What is Epi-Pet’s Electrolyte Replacement?
Epi-Pet’s Electrolyte Replacement is a palatable flavored aqueous solution of electrolytes and
nutrients formulated:
to replenish fluids, minerals and glucose at optimal absorption rates which are depleted
through stress, physical exertion or illness.
to prevent or reduce the severity of heat stress disorders
to provide a supplemental source of energy and quench thirst.
What are Electrolytes?
Technically, they are minerals (magnesium, potassium, sodium and calcium). Salivary loss
(evaporating or drooling) is probably the most significant source of systemic electrolyte loss in
animals during physical exertion or heat stress situations. Under ideal conditions electrolytes
flow through muscle cells to keep them functioning normally. Excessive salivary loss depletes
cells of fluids and weakens the muscle tissue. Within seconds of drinking Epi-Pet’s Electrolyte
Replacement, electrolytes are restored within the cell. And in the process, energy (performance)
is restored.
How is Taste Important?
Epi-Pet’s Electrolyte Replacement’s good tasting natural flavor assures acceptance. Initial test
results indicate a preference by animals for the full bodied flavor and aroma of Epi-Pet’s Electro-
lyte Replacement solution over water or other electrolyte solutions. Special flavors have been
developed for the various species to insure maximum intake.
How Do I Use Epi-Pet Electrolyte Replacement?
Epi-Pet’s Electrolyte Replacement is easy to mix. Just add to 20oz. of water and dissolve. You
can refrigerate unused portions for later use. Epi-Pet’s Electrolyte Replacement can be served
cold/hot or as a broth over dry food. And Epi-Pet’s Electrolyte Replacement is safe for human
consumption!
When Do I Use Epi-Pet’s Electrolyte Replacement?
There is a growing awareness that many animals are lost unnecessarily every year due to heat
stress, but no pet owner should overlook the fact that other problems causing DEHYDRATION
necessitate REHYDRATION.
Post-surgery recovery, gastro-intestinal upset (i.e. diarrhea, vomiting), fever, emotional stress
(strenuous exercise, air travel, etc) are occurrences in small animals that call for fluid and elec-
trolyte therapy. Administration of rehydration therapy orally is recommended in mild to moder-
ate dehydration.
Preventative rehydration can sometimes eliminate or reduce stress symptoms in small animals.
Mixing Epi-Pet’s Electrolyte Replacement with the animal’s drinking water and allowing the ani-
mal to ingest the product prior to strenuous exercise, whelping, travel or surgery is beneficial.
Epi-Pet’s Electrolyte Replacement is for your pet before, during and after any major change or
upset in your animal’s routine lifestyle because change can cause undue—and sometimes—
undetected stress.
