Pro-Kolin should never be mixed with hot food or mixed with food prior to cooking as this will kill the beneficial bacteria (probiotic). We advise letting food cool to no more than ‘lukewarm’ prior to mixing in Pro-Kolin.

Pro-Kolin can be used in animals from 2 weeks of age, however we always advise to consult your veterinary surgeon first before using Pro-Kolin in animals younger than 8 weeks of age.

Yes. Pro-Kolin is suitable for cats and dogs.

Pro-Kolin 60ml contains the same product as the 15ml and 30ml syringes and is safe to use in cats. The only reason the 60ml syringes do not mention cats on the packaging is that we primarily sell through veterinary surgeries and the 60ml was designed as a short course of treatment for large breed dogs. You may find that it is difficult to administer the smaller doses required for cats from the 60ml syringe.

Pro-Kolin contains Soya Oil and should not be used in animals with soya allergies/sensitivities.

Yes. You can safely use Pro-Kolin even if your pet is taking another source of probiotics/prebiotics.

We advise ideally giving Pro-Kolin and antibiotics a few hours apart.

As Pro-Kolin contains kaolin clay we would advise that you give the Pro-Kolin a few hours later than other medications (if this is difficult then a minimum of 1 hour later) to ensure the absorption of other medications is not reduced by the presence of the clay: there is only a very small risk of this occurring but it is important to ensure that your pet receives the maximum benefit of any medication they may be taking.

No. There are no contraindications with Pro-Kolin and other medications (apart from administration timings). This means it is safe to use Pro-Kolin even if your animal is taking other medications.

Yes. Pro-Kolin can be given to pregnant and lactating animals.

To administer the correct amount of the product use the handy wheel on the syringe plunger. Rotate the wheel until it is to the right of the number representing the desired quantity to be administered (as indicated on the dose table printed on the packaging)

Remove the cap from the end of the syringe and press the plunger to deliver the product directly into your pet’s mouth; you can also mix the product in with your pet’s food. Ensure the nozzle is thoroughly cleaned and dried after each use and always replace the cap.

We would recommend giving Pro-Kolin for 2-3 days (although it may be used for longer under instruction from your veterinary surgeon). Any animal with digestive disturbances lasting longer than 2-3 days should be checked by a veterinary surgeon. If your animal shows signs of being unwell then you should contact your veterinary surgeon as soon as possible.

Pro-Kolin should be stored somewhere cool and dry – a cupboard is usually ideal. If the weather is extremely hot and there are no suitable storage areas in your house that would be cool enough then you can store the Pro-Kolin in a refrigerator.

Pro-Kolin will last until the BBE date printed on the syringe; as long as it is stored in a cool, dry place and the nozzle is cleaned and dried after each use, and the cap replaced.

Pro-Kolin is safe to be given alongside all other Protexin products.
