Gerivet is a procaine/vitamin-based powdered nutritional supplement especially for animals experiencing the symptoms of old age (it is intended for long-term administration to mature, ageing and geriatric dogs and cats). It contains factors and micro-nutrients that improve general tone & condition, restore mental alertness and aid in the relief of age-related stiffness. Gerivet helps pets cope with the distressing side-effects of the ageing process and helps to improve overall health.

More Info

What is an ageing/geriatric pet?
These days our pets are living much longer as a result of better nutrition, development vaccines, more responsible ownership, and improved and more readily available veterinary care. Because the ageing process varies with breed, size and lifestyle, the age at which an animal is considered geriatric is also variable. A geriatric health care programme could begin at the following ages:


Breed Size Weight "Geriatric Age"
Small dogs Under 10kg 9 to 13 years
Medium dogs 10kg to 20kg 9 to 11.5 years
Large dogs 20kg to 40kg 7.5 to 10.5 years
Giant dogs over 40kg 6 to 9 years
Cats (most breeds) - 8 to 10 years


How does Gerivet work?

Gerivet powder was formulated specifically for geriatric animals. As they become older, their need for certain vitamins, minerals and other micro-nutrients increases. At the same time appetite decreases so their intake of these nutrients is lessened. Gerivet can make up for the deficiency of these micro-nutrients by providing high doses of the essential vitamins and nutrients required for intra-cellular nutrition, as well as supplying other factors, which have been shown to be beneficial to the ageing process.

What are some of Gerivet’s ingredients?
Gerivet provides high doses of essential vitamins and nutrients, which include the following:

  • Biotin — improves skin and coat condition.
  • Choline — for liver function.
  • MSM — helps to increase stamina, delays the onset of tiredness, and alleviates symptoms of arthritis (in both animals and humans, MSM has been used for some years to reduce inflammation and to relieve other musculoskeletal problems).
  • Procaine — improves mental function in the aged.
  • Vitamin E + Selenium — together they enhance each other’s action to protect cells against toxins.
  • Zinc — at the dose found in Gerivet, zinc helps to build up the immune system, which is of benefit to wound-healing and in arthritis.

How do you use Gerivet?
The powder should be given sprinkled over food, in the following dosages:
Dogs up to 9kg and cats: 2,5g (half a medicine measure) daily
Dogs 10kg - 30kg: 5g (1 medicine measure) daily
Dogs 30kg - 40kg: 7,5g (1,5 medicine measures) daily
Dogs over 40kg: 10g (2 medicine measures) daily.

Bit early dogs been on for 2 weeks. I think it's going to be a positive addition to their diet my 10year old definitely appears a bit happier and more playful, coat seems to be a little softer. Will keep on for a while longer and see
