NutraVital® Care Dental Spray
There are three options: spray directly into the mouth (if your pet tolerates it), spray onto a plate and let them lick it, or spray onto treats, toys or cat fur. The last method works particularly well for cats, because they groom their fur regularly and naturally absorb the probiotic active ingredients through licking. For optimal results, repeat daily.
The dental spray tackles the cause of bad breath, not the symptom. The lactic acid bacteria and yeasts support the bacterial balance of the oral flora. Harmful bacteria responsible for unpleasant odours are naturally suppressed. With regular use, many pet owners report a noticeable improvement. If bad breath appears suddenly or is very strong, we also recommend a vet check.
Yes. The product contains exclusively natural ingredients and works gently, making it suitable for young cats of every size. Starting dental care early supports your cat's long-term dental health.
That's exactly what the alternative application methods are for. The dental spray can be sprayed onto a plate, onto toys or directly onto your cat's fur. The probiotic solution reaches the mouth through licking, without any direct mouth contact. Many cat owners find that the fur method is the easiest to use in everyday life.
Yes. The dental spray is designed for daily, continuous use. Dental care for cats and dogs works best as a fixed routine, not as a one-off measure. The natural ingredients allow long-term use without concern.
This product is particularly suitable for multi-pet households. If you're looking specifically for a dog-only variant with an extended organic herbal formula, the NutraVital® Nature Dental Formula for Dogs has been specially developed for this purpose.

When used as directed, no side effects are known. The formula is based on natural ingredients: water, cane sugar molasses, lactose and fermented organic herbal extract with lactic acid bacteria and yeasts. If your pet has known intolerances to any of the ingredients or is undergoing veterinary treatment, we recommend consulting your vet.

Not all bad breath has its origin in the teeth. If the smell appears suddenly or smells unusually foul, sweet or like ammonia, stomach problems, food intolerances or other conditions may be involved. Similarly, heavily reddened or bleeding gums, swelling in the mouth, refusing food or noticeably one-sided chewing are all reasons to visit your vet. The dental spray supports daily dental care and protection of tooth enamel and gums, but doesn't replace a veterinary examination for serious symptoms.
NutraVital® Care Dentalspray unterstützt die Mundflora Ihrer Katze und Ihres Hundes mit effektiven Mikroorganismen und fermentiertem Bio-Kräuterextrakt. Gegen Maulgeruch, für gesunde Zähne, ohne chemische Zusätze. Drei Anwendungsoptionen, auch ohne direkten Maul-Kontakt. 100 ml Flasche.
NutraVital® Biotic for Dogs
It is a pre- and probiotic complementary feed for dogs in powder form. It contains three living bacterial strains that help build up the gut flora and strengthen the immune system from within.
For acute digestive problems, stool consistency can improve within the first week. For long-term gut flora support, we recommend regular use over several weeks.
Yes. NutraVital® Biotic is tasty and well tolerated. Simply sprinkle the powder over your dog's usual food, whether dry food, wet food, or raw.
Yes, this is one of the most common uses. Antibiotics deplete beneficial gut bacteria alongside the harmful ones. Probiotics support the rebuilding of the gut flora during and after treatment.
Yes. NutraVital® Biotic is suitable for all breeds at every age, including puppies, and is particularly helpful during dietary transitions.
Yes. Thanks to the hydrolysed protein, the powder is suitable for allergy-prone dogs too. The protein structures are broken down small enough that the immune system cannot identify them as an allergen.
Yes. The product is designed for regular, ongoing use. Dogs with a sensitive digestive system in particular benefit from continuous daily use.
Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, at room temperature, with the lid firmly closed.
NutraVital® Biotic for Large Dogs
Not at all. The XL tin is also a smart choice for smaller dogs if you plan to use NutraVital® Biotic on an ongoing basis or simply want to reorder less often. For a short course with a small dog, the 40 g monthly tin may be perfectly sufficient.
The formula is identical. The XL value tin contains four times the quantity (160 g instead of 40 g) and works out cheaper than buying four individual 40 g tins. The measuring spoon is also larger: 7.5 g rather than 0.75 g.
It depends on your dog's body weight. For a 20 kg dog (3 g per day), the tin lasts around 53 days; for a 40 kg dog (6 g per day), around 26 days. For a medium-sized dog of 10 to 15 kg, one XL tin works out to roughly four months of supply.
Pro 5 kg Körpergewicht 0,75 g pro Tag. Ein Messlöffel der XL-Dose entspricht ca. 7,5 g, das reicht also für einen Hund mit 50 kg Körpergewicht. Für kleinere Hunde dosieren Sie entsprechend weniger.
Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, at room temperature. Make sure to close the tin firmly after each use.
Yes. Thanks to the hydrolysed protein, the powder is suitable for allergy-prone dogs too. The protein structures are broken down small enough that the immune system cannot identify them as an allergen.
NutraVital® Biotic is tasty and accepted well by most dogs. If yours is hesitant at first, try mixing the daily dose into a small amount of wet food.
NutraVital® Nature Anti-Parasite Formula
Yes. The formula is designed for use on both species. One bottle for dogs and cats, ideal for multi-pet households.
The application is the same for both: spray every two to three days, focusing on the belly, legs and neck area, avoiding the face. For animals that do not like being sprayed, indirect application via your hand or a cloth works just as well.
The Nature formula can repel ticks, fleas and mites.
Yes. The bottle is not limited to multi-pet households. Owners with just one dog or just one cat can use the formula as well.
For very young or weakened animals, we recommend consulting a vet beforehand. The same applies if your pet has known allergies to any of the ingredients.
NutraVital® Care Skin & Coat Spray
With its probiotic active ingredients, the spray is suitable for regular coat care in dogs and cats. It delivers a silky shine, makes combing out easier and can help care for sensitive areas. Suitable for all breeds, including sensitive pets.
Spray generously onto your pet's coat, massage in or brush through. For a dull coat, spray onto the brush and comb through. Shake well before use.
Yes. Dogs and cats with sensitive skin benefit from its gentle formula, which is free from synthetic additives. If your pet has known allergies, we recommend consulting your vet.
The spray contains living microorganisms: lactic acid bacteria, photosynthetic bacteria and yeasts. These help create an environment in which your pet's natural skin flora can thrive.
The spray is suitable for daily use and is well tolerated by dogs and cats, including sensitive pets.
Use within 6 months of opening. Store at room temperature, away from sunlight.
NutraVital® Care Wound Spray
The spray is suitable for care of minor wounds, grazes and irritated skin. It complements veterinary treatment but does not replace it.
Apply several times daily directly onto the affected area as needed. Shake well before use. For heavier soiling, repeat application until the skin is clean.
Yes. The gentle formula and liquid, non-greasy texture are kind even to anxious dogs and sensitive cats. It won't cause additional discomfort in the wound area. Use with caution near mucous membranes.
The spray contains living microorganisms: lactic acid bacteria and yeasts from fermented organic herbal extract. These help create an environment in the wound area where the skin can regenerate naturally.
A clean wound is the foundation of good healing. The spray gently removes dirt, dead cells and residue from the skin, whilst caring for and supporting the wound area at the same time.
For deeper, larger or already infected wounds, we recommend consulting your vet. If a wound hasn't improved within a few days, or if signs of severe inflammation appear, a vet should also take a look.
NutraVital® FlyBlock for Dogs 100 ml
Yes. The plant-based active formula with geraniol, manuka oil and other ingredients can help prevent grass mites and other mite types. FlyBlock offers mite and tick protection in one product. In the case of heavy infestation, we recommend consulting your vet.
Yes. FlyBlock works not only on the coat but also as an environmental spray. Sleeping areas, carpets, kennels and transport boxes can be sprayed directly. If you're looking for a flea spray for both your dog and your home, FlyBlock lets you treat both in one step.
Chemical sprays are based on synthetic insecticides. NutraVital® FlyBlock is a natural anti-parasitic spray with a plant-based formula that keeps pests away through the effect of plant oils. It does need to be applied more regularly, but the spray contains no synthetic ingredients.
During the active season, apply to the coat every 2 to 3 days. Year-round, refresh every 7 to 14 days as a baseline protection. Reapply after bathing. A refresh is also recommended after long walks in grass.
FlyBlock is suitable for all breeds and ages, including young dogs with no waiting period. Dogs with sensitive skin benefit from the plant-based formula. If your dog has known allergies to any of the ingredients, consult your vet before first use.
NutraVital® FlyBlock for Dogs 400 ml
Yes. Both bottles contain the same plant-based formula with ten active ingredients. Efficacy, application and active ingredient profile are unchanged.
How long it lasts depends on your dog's size, how often you apply it and whether you treat only your dog or the environment as well. With regular use, the XXL bottle covers an entire season or more.
Like the 100 ml variant, FlyBlock XXL is suitable for all dog breeds and ages, including young dogs. If your dog has known allergies to any of the ingredients, consult your vet beforehand.
NutraVital® Nature Joint Formula
The five-fold formula contains glucosamine for cartilage building, MSM for ligaments and tendons, chondroitin sulphate to counter cartilage loss, collagen for joint suppleness and hyaluronic acid for smooth movement. Supplemented by rosehip powder with anti-inflammatory properties. Together, these five ingredients provide comprehensive joint support.
In osteoarthritis, cartilage breaks down faster than it is renewed. Scientific studies suggest that supplementing with glucosamine and chondroitin can support mobility. The joint formula specifically supports cartilage building (glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate) and joint lubrication (hyaluronic acid). It does not replace veterinary treatment but can support the musculoskeletal system as a daily supplement. Talk to your vet to find the right combination and dosage for your dog.
Yes. In large breeds, the product can be used from puppyhood onwards. Large breeds are predisposed to HD and ED. Early joint support can have a preventative effect before problems develop. This is particularly beneficial for young dogs of large breeds.
We recommend daily, continuous use. Your dog's joints are under stress every day. A continuous supply of the right nutrients supports cartilage, ligaments and the entire musculoskeletal system over the long term. In our experience, initial improvements typically appear after about two to three months of continuous feeding. Give your dog and the formula that time.
All breeds and ages benefit. Joint supplements are particularly relevant for large breeds such as the Great Dane, Labrador, Golden Retriever and German Shepherd, which are more prone to osteoarthritis, HD and other joint conditions. But active, sporty dogs and seniors with age-related wear also benefit.
Most joint supplements for dogs focus on individual ingredients or combinations of two to three. The NutraVital® Nature Joint Formula combines five ingredients plus rosehip powder in one product. Added to that is the powder format, rather than tablets or capsules.
A complementary feed for your dog's joints should cover the key building blocks for cartilage and connective tissue: glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate for cartilage, MSM for ligaments and tendons, collagen for suppleness, hyaluronic acid for joint lubrication. The NutraVital® Nature Joint Formula combines all five in one powder.
NutraVital® Nature Relax Formula
The formula provides important nutrients for nerves and emotional balance: B vitamins and magnesium from hemp seeds, the amino acid tryptophan from pumpkin seeds as a serotonin precursor, plant-based proteins from pea protein and traditionally calming valerian root. Supplemented with L-tryptophan as an additive. Together, these ingredients support the nervous system on multiple levels.
Yes. The Relax Formula contains exclusively natural, plant-based ingredients and no synthetic additives. There is no habituation effect and no risk of dependency, making it suitable for permanent use.
No side effects are known at the correct dosage. The formula is based on natural, plant-based ingredients that are well tolerated. During pregnancy, lactation, with known allergies to any of the ingredients, or alongside ongoing medication, we recommend consulting your vet before starting. Important: if your dog shows sudden behavioural changes, such as new fearfulness, unusual aggression or severe restlessness without an obvious cause, a supplement is not a substitute for veterinary investigation. In such cases, have health-related causes ruled out first.
Many owners report visible changes after regular use: their dog seems more balanced, handles stressful situations more calmly, and fearfulness decreases. The effect doesn't set in abruptly but develops over days and weeks. For acute occasions, start a few days in advance.
For predictable stress situations (New Year's Eve, holiday travel, vet appointments), ideally start a few days beforehand. This gives the body time to absorb the nutrients. For dogs with a naturally nervous temperament or frequent stress, we recommend daily, continuous use as part of the feeding routine. Many owners initially look for a quick fix, but the Relax Formula works best when used consistently, not just in emergencies.
Yes. The Relax Formula is designed for daily, long-term use. Thanks to the purely natural ingredients and absence of dependency risk, it can be used as a permanent calming supplement. Many owners combine acute support for known events with regular daily use.
All breeds and every age. The formula is particularly suited to sensitive, anxious or fearful dogs, rescue dogs with a difficult history, seniors with age-related anxiety and dogs with known stress triggers such as New Year's Eve, thunderstorms or car journeys. It can also help with pronounced nervousness or as part of training and settling-in. For puppies, we recommend consulting your vet before starting.
Most products in this category focus on a single ingredient or pure herbal blends. The NutraVital® Nature Relax Formula combines four plant-based ingredients plus L-tryptophan in one product. Added to that: powder format rather than tablets or drops, no risk of dependency thanks to the purely natural formula, and dual purpose ... both acute and preventative in one product. Other products in this category usually cover only one of these two uses.
NutraVital® Nature Relax-Formel unterstützt das Nervensystem Ihres Hundes bei Angst, Stress und Unruhe. Vier pflanzliche Zutaten aus Hanfsamen, Kürbiskern, Erbsenprotein und Baldrian. Ohne Abhängigkeitsrisiko, als Pulver einfach unters Futter. 150 g Dose inkl. Dosierlöffel.
NutraVital® Biotic for Cats
Probiotics are live microorganisms that actively support your cat's gut microbiota. This product contains two specifically selected cultures that promote the growth of healthy gut bacteria and suppress unwanted pathogens. At the same time, stable digestion can improve the absorption of minerals and nutrients.
This product specifically supports gut recovery in cats with two bacterial cultures and triple prebiotic action from inulin, FOS and MOS. This can stabilise and regulate digestion. For persistent diarrhoea, we also recommend consulting your vet.
Yes. A probiotic complementary feed is particularly beneficial after antibiotic treatment. Probiotics can support the recovery of weakened gut colonisation. We recommend starting after the course of treatment ends, or, in consultation with your vet, feeding it alongside the medication.
Typical signs include recurrent diarrhoea, loose or variable stools, bloating, loss of appetite, a dull or lacklustre coat, or skin problems. Frequent vomiting without an apparent cause can also point to disrupted gut microbiota. If your cat shows these symptoms after antibiotic treatment, a dietary change or a stressful period, the balance of gut bacteria may have been upset. For persistent symptoms, we recommend having your vet investigate the cause.
We recommend continuous, regular use. Unlike short-term supplements, NutraVital® Biotic achieves the best results with ongoing daily feeding. Long-term use can also be beneficial as a preventative measure.
NutraVital® Biotic ist für Katzen jeden Alters geeignet, auch für Kätzchen. Am besten starten Sie mit der Fütterung, sobald das Kätzchen bei Ihnen einzieht, denn gerade die erste Futterumstellung fordert den Darm besonders. Beginnen Sie mit einer halben Dosierung und steigern Sie nach ein paar Tagen auf die volle Menge: 1 Messlöffel pro 5 kg Körpergewicht. Bei Kätzchen unter 2,5 kg genügt ein halber Messlöffel täglich.
Yes. NutraVital® Biotic contains hydrolysed poultry liver as a palatant. Through hydrolysis, the proteins are broken down so extensively that they are usually no longer recognised as allergens by the cat's immune system. So your sensitive cat benefits from probiotic support without the risk of triggering allergies. 100% natural. For greater wellbeing.
Constipation in cats can be linked to a disrupted gut microbiota, among other things. Probiotics and prebiotics support natural gut function, and inulin and FOS promote bowel movement as fibres. For persistent constipation, a vet should investigate the cause.
Generally, yes. With antibiotics, we recommend staggering the probiotic so it's not given in the same meal, to avoid directly affecting the bacterial cultures. Alternatively, you can start feeding it after the course of antibiotics ends. If you're unsure, have a quick word with your vet.
NutraVital® Biotic is accepted without problems by most cats, because the hydrolysed poultry liver acts as a natural palatant. If your cat is still sceptical, try mixing the powder into wet food, where it dissolves better and the taste blends into the meal. With dry food, you can lightly dampen the kibble first so the powder sticks. If needed, start with a smaller amount and gradually increase to the full dosage.
NutraVital® Nature Dental-Formula Spray
The spray contains probiotic microorganisms (lactic acid bacteria and yeasts) that support the natural balance of oral flora. They help displace harmful bacteria responsible for plaque and bad breath. Fermented organic herbs with mint and rosemary additionally provide fresh breath and support oral care in dogs. With regular use, the dental spray can help reduce calcium deposits on the teeth.
With regular use, the spray can help prevent tartar. The probiotic microorganisms counteract the settlement of bacteria responsible for plaque formation. Since dental plaque is the precursor to tartar, a probiotic dental spray works exactly at this point. The product cannot remove already mineralised tartar. For this, professional tartar removal or cleaning by a vet is necessary.
Spray twice daily carefully into your dog's mouth. Alternatively, the spray can be sprayed onto a plate or toy. For more details, see Application Recommendation.
That is exactly what the alternative method is for: simply spray onto a plate or toy and let the dog lick it off. This way the probiotic solution reaches the mouth without you having to handle your dog's mouth or apply the sprayer directly. This makes the dental spray usable even for particularly sceptical dogs.
Yes. The product contains exclusively natural ingredients and cleanses gently. This makes the spray also suitable for puppies. Starting dental care in dogs early makes sense: approximately 80% of dogs develop dental problems from age three onwards. Those who lay the foundation in young years maintain their dog's dental health in the long term.
For dogs of every breed, size and age. The product is equally suitable for puppies, adult dogs and seniors. The natural ingredients make the dental care spray compatible for dogs of every age. Whether small Chihuahua or large German Shepherd: the dental spray fits into every lifestyle.
No side effects are known with proper use. The formula is based on natural ingredients: probiotic microorganisms, fermented organic herbs, water, sugar cane molasses and organic lactose. If your dog has known allergies to any of the ingredients or is currently undergoing veterinary treatment, we recommend consulting your vet. Important: a dental spray is no substitute for veterinary examination. If your dog develops sudden severe bad breath or visible changes such as heavy redness, swelling or bleeding, consult a vet.
Many tooth sprays on the market rely exclusively on herbs, mint or chlorhexidine without a probiotic component. The NutraVital® Nature Dental-Formula Spray, on the other hand, combines two approaches: probiotic microorganisms that actively stabilise oral flora and fermented organic herbs with peppermint that provide fresh breath. Additionally, the product offers a double option: spray directly or apply alternatively. Customer reviews show that it is precisely this flexibility in handling that makes the difference in everyday life with your dog.
Many customers notice an improvement in bad breath within the first few days with regular use. The peppermint and other fermented organic herbs directly provide fresher breath, whilst probiotic microorganisms stabilise oral flora in the medium term. For the preventative effect against tartar, consistent daily use over a longer period is crucial.
Yes, the dental spray is designed for daily, long-term use. Dental care in dogs works best as a fixed routine, not as a one-off measure. The natural ingredients allow long-term use without concerns. Those who spray regularly maintain their dog's dental health sustainably.
The dental spray is designed as a standalone solution that works without a toothbrush. Those who additionally brush their dog's teeth can use the dental spray as a supplement. For dog owners for whom toothbrushing does not work in everyday life, whether due to dog resistance or time constraints, the dental spray as a product offers a practical alternative to mechanical tooth cleaning.
Not all bad breath has its cause in the teeth. If the odour appears suddenly, smells unusually putrid, sweet or like ammonia, it could also be stomach problems, food intolerances, diabetes or kidney disease. Similarly, heavily reddened or bleeding gums, swelling in the mouth, food refusal or conspicuous one-sided chewing are reasons for a vet visit. A dental spray for dogs supports daily dental care and oral hygiene but does not replace veterinary diagnosis for serious symptoms. When in doubt: Ask a vet. Better be safe than sorry.
NutraVital® Biotic for Horses
Probiotics are live microorganisms that actively support your horse's gut microbiota. The live yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae in NutraVital® Biotic works directly in the gastrointestinal tract: it can improve crude fibre digestibility, promote the growth of healthy gut bacteria and contribute to gut stabilisation. This can lead to improved digestion and a stable microbiome.
Yes. The gut microbiota is often out of balance after antibiotic treatment, because antibiotics do not distinguish between beneficial and harmful bacteria. Targeted support with probiotics can help stabilise the gut environment. We recommend starting after the course of antibiotics ends, or, in consultation with your vet, feeding it alongside the treatment.
Yes. NutraVital® Biotic is not relevant to doping lists. Unlike products with herbal content over 3% or tryptophan, no withdrawal period is required before competitions. You can feed the product continuously, even directly before and during competitions.
We recommend continuous, regular use. Unlike many comparable products designed as 3 to 4 week courses, NutraVital® Biotic achieves the best results with continuous feeding. This keeps your horse's gut microbiota permanently stable.
Give 1 measuring spoon (9 g) per 300 kg body weight, added to feed. For a 600 kg horse, that's 2 measuring spoons daily. If needed, you can increase the dosage by a maximum of 1 measuring spoon. The powder is water-soluble and can also be dissolved in water.
Yes. Feed changes and spring grazing are typical situations where shifts in nutrition put strain on the gut microbiota. NutraVital® Biotic can stabilise the gut microbiota during this transition phase and contribute to balanced digestion.
The powder contains dextrose, inulin and maize starch as a base, plus live yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (CBS 493.94/4a1704, 7.5×10¹¹ CFU/kg) as a digestibility-enhancing additive. No herbal mixtures, no artificial flavours, no hidden additives.
No. NutraVital® Biotic contains neither herbal content over 3% nor tryptophan and is therefore not relevant to doping lists. No withdrawal period is required. You can feed the product without interruption.
NutraVital® FlyBlock for Cats
Yes. FlyBlock is effective against six types of pest, including mites. The plant-based formula with geraniol, manuka oil and other ingredients is designed for a broad spectrum of action. The spray can be used preventively. If there is already a heavy infestation, we recommend having this checked by a vet as well.
Yes. FlyBlock works not only on the coat but also as an environment spray. Bedding, carpets and transport crates can be sprayed directly. This is particularly important with fleas: a single flea lays up to 50 eggs per day, which end up in textiles and on floors. If you are looking for a flea spray for your cat and your home, FlyBlock lets you treat both the animal and the environment in one step.
FlyBlock has a repellent effect and can help prevent ear mites from becoming established in the first place. As a preventive spray against ear mites in cats, it can be applied to the head and ear area. Please do not spray directly into the ear canal. Instead, spray onto your hand and gently rub into the skin and fur. If there is already a heavy ear mite infestation, veterinary treatment is recommended.
Yes. Harvest mites are most common in late summer and autumn and target thin-skinned areas on the paws, belly and ears. FlyBlock can be applied as a harvest mite spray for cats before going outdoors to reduce contact with the larvae. Pay particular attention to the most vulnerable areas: belly, legs and paws.

Chemical sprays rely on synthetic insecticides that kill pests. FlyBlock is a natural anti-parasite spray made from purely plant-based ingredients that keeps pests away through the repellent effect of plant-based oils.

Application needs to be more frequent than with chemical products (every two to three days rather than once a month), but the spray is free from synthetic ingredients and is generally well tolerated by cats.

During the active season (spring and summer): spray onto the coat every two to three days. Year-round as basic protection: reapply every seven to fourteen days. After bathing, the application should be renewed.
No. Unlike oil-based home remedies, FlyBlock does not leave greasy residue on coat, furniture or textiles. Your cat can lie on the sofa, bed or cushions as normal after application. Direct contact with people after spraying is also perfectly safe.
NutraVital® Nature Digestive Formula
It is a complementary feed for dogs in powder form, containing three plant-based active ingredients (chamomile, carrot, dandelion), prebiotic plant fibres and a probiotic strain. It supports your dog's digestion and strengthens the immune system.
NutraVital® Nature Digestive Formula is suitable for use during worming treatments, courses of antibiotics, gastrointestinal infections, parasitic infections such as Giardia, and for stress-related or allergy-associated digestive problems.
NutraVital® Nature has been developed with natural ingredients and a taste dogs enjoy. Simply mix the powder into your dog's usual food once a day.
Yes. Simply mix the powder into your dog's usual portion once a day, whether that's dry food, wet food, or raw.
Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, at room temperature, with the lid firmly closed.
