Di-Vetelact provides a range of essential health benefits for your pet. From supporting strong joints and bones to boosting immunity, enhancing skin health, and promoting a glossy coat.
In this guide, we’ll explore each of these benefits in detail, highlighting the crucial role nutrition plays in keeping your pet happy and thriving.
1. Joint and Bone Health
Building Strength for Lifelong Mobility
Good nutrition is the foundation of strong bones and healthy joints in pets. The right balance of nutrients helps pets stay active, mobile, and pain-free throughout their lives.
Di-Vetelact is carefully formulated to support joint and bone health with high-quality protein and essential nutrients. It contains the correct balance of protein, calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D as well as antioxidants like selenium, vitamin C, and vitamin E, which are vital for healthy bones and joints.
Many commercial diets contain protein, but not all sources provide the right amino acid profile for optimal muscle development and joint health. Di-Vetelact contains high-quality whey protein, which is naturally rich in all the essential amino acids - the key building blocks for muscle repair, connective tissue strength, and overall mobility - for pets of all ages. Whey protein is highly bioavailable, meaning it is rapidly absorbed and efficiently utilised by the body.
The essential co-factors such as calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D delivered in a balanced nutritional source such as Di-Vetelact, work to support bone density and healthy skeletal growth early on in life. This is crucial, particularly in large and giant breed dogs, which when fed an inadequate diet are more prone to conditions such as osteochondrosis, hip dysplasia and limb deformaties that contribute to long-term mobility issues. For hand-reared pets, following the recommended feeding guidelines is especially important. It ensures they grow at a steady, healthy rate without putting on weight causing unnecessary stress on their developing joints. With the right nutrition, your pet has the best chance of living a long, active, and pain-free life.
By delivering these nutrients in precise, balanced proportions, Di-Vetelact supports steady growth in young animals, helps maintain lean muscle mass in adults, and promotes mobility and joint strength throughout life. Ensuring your pet stays strong, active, and healthy for years to come.
*Osteochondrosis occurs when joint cartilage fails to convert into bone, leading to thickened cartilage and joint pain, while hip dysplasia causes loose hip joints that eventually progress to painful osteoarthritis.
2. Immune System Support
Strengthening Defences from the Start
Just as proper nutrition supports strong bones and joints, it also plays a critical role in building a resilient immune system, especially in young, stressed, or orphaned animals. These vulnerable infants often have underdeveloped immune systems, making them more susceptible to infections and health complications. Without the right nutrients to support immunity, they may struggle with poor appetite, weight loss, fever, and intestinal damage, which can lead to impaired nutrient absorption, diarrhoea, and potentially life-threatening conditions.
Di-Vetelact is formulated with prebiotics (FOS), which help promote a healthy gut microbiome—a key foundation of immune health. Research has shown that prebiotics can improve stress management and reduce the risk of bacterial infections in at-risk puppies. Maintaining a balanced microbiome is essential for long-term health and disease resistance.
Beyond gut health, Di-Vetelact provides a complete profile of 25 essential vitamins and minerals, including copper, selenium, vitamin A, and vitamin D, all of which are vital for immune cell function and overall resilience. It also delivers a full spectrum of amino acids, including glutamine, which plays a crucial role in supporting immune function in stressed animals by fueling intestinal and immune cells.
By ensuring a balanced diet rich in immune-supporting nutrients, Di-Vetelact helps give young and vulnerable animals the strongest possible start in life—building a foundation for lifelong health and vitality.
3. Skin Health
Nourishing the Body’s First Line of Defence
Healthy skin plays a vital role in overall health and protecting your pet from infections, allergens, and environmental stressors. The skin is the body’s first line of defence, and when it lacks proper nourishment, it can become dry, irritated, and more susceptible to conditions like dermatitis, hair loss, and poor wound healing.
Malnourished animals—whether young, stressed, or recovering from illness—are particularly at risk for skin issues. Insufficient energy and protein intake, often due to an imbalanced diet or reduced appetite, weakens the skin barrier, leaving pets vulnerable to inflammation, slow healing, and an increased risk of infections.
Di-Vetelact provides high-quality protein and balanced energy to support skin integrity, along with a complete spectrum of 25 essential vitamins and minerals that are crucial for maintaining healthy skin and coat condition.
Key nutrients include:
✔ Zinc & Copper – Essential for collagen formation, skin repair, and wound healing.
✔ Vitamin A – Supports skin cell regeneration and helps maintain a strong protective barrier.
✔ Vitamin E – A powerful antioxidant that reduces oxidative stress and promotes skin resilience.
By delivering these nutrients in optimal proportions, Di-Vetelact helps restore skin strength and hydration, ensuring that malnourished or vulnerable animals receive the support they need to develop a healthy, resilient skin barrier.
Providing a well-balanced milk replacer like Di-Vetelact can make all the difference in setting the foundation for strong skin, a glossy coat, and a thriving, healthy life.
4. Shiny Coat
The Ultimate Sign of Health and Vitality
A glossy, vibrant coat isn’t just about looks, it’s a clear reflection of your pet’s overall health and nutrition. When animals don’t receive the right balance of nutrients, their coat can become dull, brittle, and lacklustre, signalling underlying deficiencies. A healthy coat plays a crucial role in protecting the skin from environmental stressors and maintaining a strong barrier against irritation and infection.
Di-Vetelact provides the essential nutrients needed for a strong, healthy, and naturally radiant coat. Its carefully balanced formula includes 25 essential vitamins and minerals, with zinc and copper playing a key role in coat strength and pigmentation.
✔ Zinc – Essential for keratin production is the protein that strengthens hair and improves texture.
✔ Copper – Helps maintain rich pigmentation, enhancing the natural shine and vibrancy of the coat.
Enriched with powerful antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, and selenium, Di-Vetelact helps protect skin and coat health at the cellular level. These antioxidants help neutralise free radicals, which, if left unchecked, can damage skin cells and contribute to poor coat quality, irritation, and premature aging.
By delivering the right balance of protein, essential minerals, and antioxidants, Di-Vetelact helps protect against oxidative damage, ensuring your pet’s coat remains strong, glossy, and a true reflection of their inner health.
