Instructions for use
How to dilute the powder?
Vetom in powder form is quite easy to use. It can be added to dog food, dissolved in water or milk and given to your pet to drink. A single dose is 50 mg of dietary supplement per 1 kg of animal weight.
How many times should I give?
The powder should be given to your pet according to the following schemes:
- normalization of intestinal function - 2 times a day for 20 days;
- improving the functioning of the immune system – 1-2 times a day for 5-10 days;
- treatment of viral and infectious diseases, diarrhea - every 8 hours until the dog’s condition improves;

Rectal route of administration
If a dog has severe dysbiosis, rectal administration of the drug is recommended. First, you should cleanse the animal's intestines with an enema, and then administer the powder diluted in warm water in the same dosage as for oral administration.

Dosage in capsules
In addition to the powder, Vetom is available in capsules of 33 mg each. This dosage form is inconvenient to use when treating dogs. It is difficult to calculate the dosage - 50 mg per 1 kg of animal weight is difficult to combine with the 33 mg contained in each capsule.
It is difficult to force your pet to swallow the capsule. Therefore, veterinarians do not recommend using the drug in capsule form.
