Gastrafate Canine

Description

Gastrafate Canine is a flavored oral suspension containing sucralfate, specially formulated for dogs. It helps coat and protect the stomach and intestinal lining, making it a helpful option for dogs needing gastrointestinal support.

Sucralfate forms a protective barrier over irritated areas in the digestive tract, helping shield tissues from stomach acid and digestive enzymes. The ready-to-use liquid formulation makes administration simple and
convenient.

Gastrafate Canine is commonly used as part of a veterinarian-recommended digestive care plan.
