Couldn't load pickup availability
Buffered, unflavoured and fast-dissolving Vitamin C powder for dogs, cats and other animals. Helps maintain normal immune function, antioxidant balance, connective-tissue health and general vitality as part of a complete and balanced diet.
Product overview
Vitamin C – Sodium Ascorbate is a buffered, water-soluble form of Vitamin C that dissolves readily and is generally gentler on the digestive system than acidic ascorbic acid.
Vitamin C contributes to normal antioxidant activity, collagen formation, connective-tissue health and immune function. Although dogs and cats synthesise Vitamin C naturally, some guardians choose to provide additional nutritional support during periods of increased physical demand, environmental stress or changing needs.
Sodium ascorbate is particularly suited to short-term use because it is easy to dilute and can be introduced gradually according to individual tolerance.
For ongoing daily wellness, suitable natural whole-food sources of Vitamin C, such as rosehip or Kakadu plum, may be preferred for regular inclusion in meals.
This product is intended to complement species-appropriate nutrition and responsible animal care. It is not a substitute for a complete and balanced diet.
≥99% pure sodium ascorbate that conforms to recognised USP and FCC standards for identity and purity.
How this product is used
Sodium ascorbate may be mixed through a small portion of food or dissolved in a little filtered water or plain, onion- and garlic-free broth.
Suggested short-term amounts
- Cats, small dogs and small animals: a pinch up to ⅛ teaspoon daily
- Medium dogs: ¼–½ teaspoon daily
- Large dogs, horses and livestock: ½–1 teaspoon daily
Introduce gradually and reduce the amount if stools soften. These measurements apply specifically to this product and should not automatically be used for other forms or brands of Vitamin C.
More frequent supportive use should follow the complete Vitamin C guide or an individual support plan.
A practical addition to your home animal wellbeing kit
Many guardians choose to keep buffered Vitamin C on hand as a versatile staple in their home animal wellbeing kit. Its unflavoured, fast-dissolving form makes it easy to prepare whenever short-term nutritional support is desired.
The accompanying guide includes important preparation, administration and swallowing-safety information for periods of increased need.
Vitamin C is not an emergency treatment or antidote and should not delay appropriate veterinary care.

Before you purchase – important information
Which base should I choose?
Which base should I choose?
You may select the remedy base that best suits your animal companion and your preferred method of administration.
The formulation and energetic intent of the remedy are the same across all bases — the difference lies only in how the remedy is given.
Liquid – brandy base
A traditional base commonly selected for dogs and other animals. Suitable for direct dosing or for dilution in water.
When diluted in water, this option may also be used for cats and other sensitive animals.
In multi-animal households, the brandy base is often chosen for ease of shared water dosing.
Liquid – glycerine base
Often preferred for cats and highly sensitive animals, particularly when direct dosing is required.
Alcohol-free and gentle in taste.
Pilules – sucrose base
A dry, alcohol-free option suitable for animals that prefer dry dosing.
Pilules may be given directly or dissolved in water.
Pilules are also a practical choice for multi-animal households, as they can be administered individually or prepared for shared water dosing.
Cats do not metabolise alcohol efficiently. For this reason, the glycerine liquid or pilule base is generally recommended for cats and highly sensitive animals.
If a brandy-based liquid is used, simply dilute the dose first in a little water before offering it.
Most dogs tolerate all bases well.
Choose the option that feels easiest, gentlest, and least stressful for both you and your animal companion.

How do homeopathic remedies work for animals?
How do homeopathic remedies work for animals?
Homeopathic remedies act as gentle energetic signals for the animal’s system, rather than as chemical or pharmacological substances. They do not impose a medicinal effect or override normal physiological processes.
Instead, they provide subtle information that supports an animal’s innate capacity to self-regulate, adapt, and restore balance in response to environmental or internal stressors.
When an animal receives this energetic cue, their body may initiate its own natural adjustment or healing responses. Guardians may observe changes in behaviour, energy, or physical signs as this process unfolds, which can indicate that the animal is responding to the remedy’s informational signal.
These responses are guided by the animal’s own system and reflect its individual needs, timing, and capacity for regulation.
Do homeopathic remedies treat or prevent disease in animals?
Do homeopathic remedies treat or prevent disease in animals?
No. These remedies do not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. They are offered as complementary wellness support only, intended to encourage balance, adaptability, and overall wellbeing.
They are designed to work alongside responsible animal care, good management practices, and veterinary guidance where needed.
Additional note - for remedies that include nosodes
Additional note - for remedies that include nosodes
Some formulations may include homeopathic nosodes as part of a holistic wellbeing approach.
Homeopathic preparations, including nosodes:
- are not vaccines
- do not guarantee prevention of disease, infestation, or infection
- are not recognised as vaccination or parasite control by regulatory authorities
- do not meet legal requirements for boarding, travel, registration, or other official purposes
Animal guardians remain responsible for complying with all legal, veterinary, and local requirements, including vaccination and parasite management appropriate to their animal companion and location.
Are homeopathic remedies considered veterinary medicines?
Are homeopathic remedies considered veterinary medicines?
No. These products are homeopathic and energetic in nature. They are not veterinary medicines and are not intended to replace veterinary diagnosis, treatment, or emergency care.
Veterinary medicines are typically pharmaceutical substances designed to act through biochemical or pharmacological mechanisms within the body.
Homeopathic remedies work differently. They act as gentle energetic signals, offering information that supports the body’s own innate ability to self-regulate, adapt, and restore balance.
These approaches are fundamentally different and may be used alongside one another as part of informed, responsible animal care.
