pHpets Drops: Alkaline Drops for Animals

We have developed special alkaline drops for pets, the pHpets. These drops have the same deacidifying effect as our Alka Drops in humans.

The composition is different. The Alka® Drops contain 2 acidity regulators and the pH Pets contains 1 acidity regulator.

pHpets® drops are made specifically for dogs, cats, rabbits and rodents. pHpets® drops can also be safely used for a large number of other animal species. The pHpets® drops are not suitable for fish and birds. If you want to know whether pHpets® drops are suitable for your pet, you can contact our customer service.

No, never give your pet undiluted drops! pHpets® is very strongly alkaline (pH 13.5), so that the drinking water of your pet receives the desired pH value after you add the drops. This means the drops are much too strong to consume undiluted. Undiluted drops can lead to things like a strong burning sensation for your animal.

If too many drops are added to the water, the water will become more alkaline than the desired pH value of 10. Ultimately, the taste of the water will change and the chances are that your animal will no longer want to drink it. With drinking water bowls from 250 ml, 1 to 2 drops too much is no problem. With smaller drinking water bowls, or with more too many drops, it is better to change the water and add more drops

Your pet will benefit greatly from drinking alkaline water as a preventive measure. Sooner or later every animal will acidify with all its consequences. De-acidifying on a daily basis to prevent acidic waste accumulations still remains the most effective! Prevention is therefore better than waiting until the animal is acidified.

pHpets®​ drops are tasteless, colourless and odourless. Your pet will not notice the drops in its drinking water.

If the water with the droplets is left in it for too long, the water will slowly become less alkaline through contact with oxygen in the air. It is therefore important to change the water in time for optimal operation. Our advice is to refresh the drinking water twice a day and add more drops.

pHpets® can be used indefinitely. New waste acids are created in the body every day. Continuing to deacidify daily offers an optimal counterbalance for your animal.

As far as is known, this product can be used without objection during pregnancy and lactation. Always discuss this with the attending veterinarian.

Sometimes animals can suffer from deacidification symptoms in the beginning, such as fatigue, an increase in the original symptoms or changes in the stool. Deacidification phenomena arise because the breakdown of waste acids is greater than the body can process in its own way. Although these complaints may be unpleasant for the animal, it is a good sign. How long the deacidification symptoms persist depends on the amount of waste acids in the body. They usually disappear after a week.

Depending on the animal and the reason for which pHpets® drops are taken, the time after which an effect is noticeable differs. This is usually between 2 weeks and 2 months.

If the animal comes into contact with undiluted drops, this can give the animal a strong burning sensation. In case of contact with the skin or muzzle it is sufficient to rinse well with water. In case of contact with eyes, rinse well with water and have it checked by a veterinarian to be sure.

See also the question about deacidification phenomena. Some animals may initially experience mild detoxification symptoms (e.g. fatigue, change in stool). These detoxification symptoms are a sign that the deacidification is starting. They disappear when most of the waste acids have been neutralized and disposed of.

It is best not to dissolve baking soda in water, because your stomach will convert it into water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and sodium chloride (NaCl). The salt formation can increase the blood pressure. Alka® products have been developed to counteract this undesirable effect.

No interactions are known with other dietary supplements and / or drugs. Always consult the attending veterinarian if you want to give pHpets® drops in combination with medication to your pet.

pHpets® drops is free from allergens.

Sooner or later every animal will start to acidify with all its consequences. Prevention is therefore better than waiting for an animal to become acidic. pHpets® is therefore recommended for every animal. If an animal has already been acidified, deacidification with pHpets® is the way to solve this again.

For optimal deacidification it is important that the animal's drinking water receives the correct acidity (9.5 - 10). This acidity is the same for all animals. The amount of drops needed therefore only depends on the amount of drinking water into which the drops are put.

pHpets® drops can also be added to the water afterwards. However, never double the dose at once, as this could make the water too alkaline. If the water becomes too alkaline, the taste can change and the animal does not want to drink it anymore.
