Vit’i5 Orange supplement is specifically formulated by our Veterinary Nutrition Specialist to bring necessary minerals and vitamins and balance homemade cat food or dog food (pets fed a homemade diet)*.

It is the only supplement with calcium and phosphorus, vitamins and trace elements, formulated to balance a homemade diet* for the followings:
