55 SF50 vitamin supplement
Verified Purchase

By on 27 August 2023

As far as I'm aware, it's excellent stuff. The last time I put the wildlife camera in the garden, the foxes looked very healthy with bushy tails and were full coated which is now how they were 3 years ago when they were underfed, had mange and no fur. They were very sick indeed.

Q & A

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding SF-50 (replaces SA37), including answers from our team.

Anal glands and faeces eating

Becky Dixon

My cavaliers both suffer from anal glands and both rush to eat poo. Would SF50 help any of this.

  • VioVet Staff

If your dogs are eating faeces due to a nutritional deficiency then yes, this will help. However if you are feeding a complete branded diet to your dogs then this is unlikely the cause.
Behavioural issues can cause the eating of faeces. You can try to prevent them eating their own or each other's faeces with a stool repellant like VetIQ Stool Repel.
Regarding the anal gland problems, a supplement like ReguTum Fibre Care Powder is more likely to be beneficial. This contains ingredients to help the normal transit of stools which should naturally express the glands.

Can this be used in home cooked dog food?

Vivienne Gould

  • VioVet customer since 2013
  • From: Suffolk, United Kingdom

Although my 3 year old miniature poodle has cold pressed complete food, she now won't eat it unless mixed with tinned food or home cooked meat or meat/veg. She has a delicate stomach and is fussy so I try to vary her food eg scrambled egg or tinned sardine in oil or boiled white fish for breakfast and minced beef/or turkey that is browned and cook with water or with carrot, celery, swede, sweet potato but avoid tinned wet food she it can upset her tummy. The cold pressed is mixed with her dinner and I leave some in a bowl most of the day.
I am not sure if she is getting the correct mix of vitamins and minerals so wonder if SF-50 would be a good thing to add to her diet? I would prefer that she just as the cold pressed but needs must.

  • VioVet Staff

Yes this supplement can be used to ensure any home made diets meet the vitamin/mineral requirements of your dog. Wherever possible it is recommended to feed a complete branded diet if you can. Certain proteins are 'essential proteins' and can only be obtained through the food, they cannot be supplemented. Complete diets ensure these proteins are present.

Safe during pregnamcy

Sophie

Hi. My dog is pregnant. Is this safe for her, before and after birth?

  • VioVet Staff

Yes this product is safe for use and is actually advised specifically for use in growing puppies and pregnant or lactating bitches. It will help provide additional nutritional support for times where reserves are stretched, such as during pregnancy/lactation.

Dog with slight anemia

Ann Andrews

  • VioVet customer since 2008
  • From: , United Kingdom

Would this supplement help my dog who has slight anemia? My vet says it is nothing to worry about but a supplement should help to get his levels up.

  • VioVet Staff

This multi-vitamin/mineral supplement will benefit the body in general but not necessarily support blood cell production in particular. It is most important to resolve the underlying cause for the anaemia, I recommend following your vet's advice on treating any underlying issues as a priority.
You can try iron supplements, iron is found within red blood cells so supplementing with it can help with supporting normal blood cell production. SF-50 does contain iron so can help, but Canine Red Cell is also an iron support supplement that can work well.

Will it stop my dog who is albino white scratching himself

butch

Will it stop my dog who is albino white scratching himself ive tried itchy dog full of omega 3 it hasn't worked

  • VioVet Staff

If the itchy dog supplement hasn't worked then I doubt that this one will either. There are a few different causes of itchy skin in dogs. The most common is fleas so make sure your dog is up to date with flea treatments including treatment of the house. Otherwise an allergy to certain foods or something in your dogs environment is possible. It would be useful to have your vet examine your dog to help determine an underlying cause for the itchiness. Once you have determined the cause something like Yumega Itchy dog or SF-50 would be a good choice to help maintain healthy skin.

Suitable for SBS?

Hayley Moore

Hi - in a bid to help my dog recover GI resection and now suffers Short Bowel Syndrome, would this supplement be suitable to give him and would it be beneficial? He had 5ft of small intestine removed. Thanks

  • VioVet Staff

Increasing the vitamin content of the food might well help ensure he absorbs enough, so it does make sense to try. As long as you give the recommended amount it will not cause any trouble. Easily digested foods etc would be advised anyway. I have no experience of hydrolysed diets in this situation, but I wonder if they might help (eg Purina HA, Hills z/d).

EPA

Diane Moore

  • VioVet customer since 2015
  • From: Suffolk, United Kingdom

My dog has recently been diagnosed with EPA, and I have read that vitamins B12, A,D,E and K should be added to her diet. Can you yell me if SF-50 is suitable. She also has 3 Lypex tablets added to three meals each day. Any further advice you could give me would be most welcomed. Yours truly. Diane Moore

  • VioVet Staff

SF-50 is a comprehensive supplement which contains all the vitamins needed in suitable proportions. If you are using a commercial dog food, that will already have vitamins added to it in fact, so I am not sure you would get much benefit. Having EPI could mean that your dog is potentially going to be short of the fat soluble vitamins but if the Lypex is doing its job this is not an issue. Adding large amounts of vitamins A and D can be toxic so you should not do that, though it would be safe to use SF-50 at the recommended rate in your dog. However it would be more usual to just supplement B12 and perhaps Vitamin E. B12 is normally given by injections once per week initially, then every few weeks. It is safe to give a lot of B12 if you want, that is not at all toxic. Vitmain E can be given at normal inclusion rates, but not many people do this and we do not sell this by itself and is normally part of a multivitamin supplement.

One other thing you could consider would be a pre- and pro-biotic such as Pro-kolin Enterogenic. It helps to keep the bacterial population of the gut in good shape, which again helps the whole digestive performance to be more as it should be. It can be given along with the Lypex and vitamins if you choose to do it. All of them are intended for long-term use if required.

19 week old pup obsessed with eating grass and stones

Elaine H

Our 19 week old labrador pup seems to be obsessed with picking up and eating stones as well as grass and has swallowed them and passed them. He has also been sick and brought them up. We do watch him but he is so quick. We do everything in our power to ensure he doesn't eat them but now wondering if there is something lacking in his diet. He is on a good food which is higher in protein

  • VioVet Staff

This is not unusual for a young labrador and they do get themselves into trouble sometimes by swallowing stones. It is normally regarded as simple greed for which the breed is notorious. This might not be an adequate explanation, but it is the best we have. I suspect that if there is a "defficiency" as you are questioning, it is certainly nothing to do with the "micronutrients" provided by SF-50. I do regard SF-50 as a great product and of immense use for animals on unbalanced, home prepared diets. It is no help for a dog on a good quality commercial diet which has all of this stuff added anyway, and if anything a carefully formulated balance is upset by adding extra things. If a deficiency is involved it is much more likely to be in the chewy, bulky parts of a natural diet which we do not provide. In a natural state there would be lots of bits of hoof, hide, bones, gristle and sinew etc lying around for young canines to spend time playing with and eating bits of. Probably brilliant for them nutritionally as well as behaviourally and for digestive and dental health. We cater for the nutritional needs even better now, but not all the other factors. I think you would do better to offer chewy treats and large hide chews which are so big the puppy cannot eat one in a single sitting. He should be able to go back to them as and when he wants. I must say a carpet littered with part-chewed animal parts is extremely unappealing to us, but would be perfect for a puppy. See what you can do along the lines of chews and treats would be my suggestion.
