Introducing a new range of products by Select Healthcare from NVS


We’re delighted to introduce a new selection of products in the Select Healthcare from NVS range, all developed to support specific areas of digestive health in dogs and cats. Each product targets a distinct aspect of the digestive system – from supporting the intestinal mucosa and development of puppies and kittens to tackling hairballs, impacted glands and ingested toxins.

ProRestore

Multi-level microbiome support

Triple-action symbiotic combining multispecies prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics to support gut integrity and enhance gut-associated immune function in companion animals.

The combined approach of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics can help:

  • Restore the balance of intestinal microflora
  • Digestion and nutrient uptake
  • Create a healthy intestinal immune system
  • Reinforce the intestinal mucosa
  • The barrier to pathogenic bacteria
  • Allow for immediate support alongside helping reestablish the healthy, balanced microbial population

Prebiotics: Fuel for good bacteria

  • FOS (fructo-oligosaccharides) – stimulate Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli
  • MOS (mannan-oligosaccharides) – help prevent pathogenic adhesion and modulate immune responses
  • Beta-glucans – derived from yeast; activate immune cells via Dectin-1 receptors

Probiotics: Live microbial allies

  • Enterococcus faecium – improves stool consistency and microbial balance
  • Lactobacillus acidophilus – supports mucosal immunity and digestion

Postbiotics: Bioactive molecules from non-living microbes

  • Include short-chain fatty acids, peptides, and cell wall fragments
  • Offer benefits without requiring colonisation
  • Strains – L. helveticus, L. paracasei, L. plantarum provide anti-inflammatory and barrier-protective effects.

Code: 958773, ProRestore, 150g


Duostart

Complimentary feed for puppies & kittens

Complementary feed with colostrum and beneficial bacteria to support the natural development of new-born puppies and kittens, strengthen the immune system and promote both innate and adaptive responses. 

Benefits:

Passive immunity – provides immediate protection against infections.

Specificity – contains antibodies that target specific pathogens that the mother has encountered, also modulates macrophage and T lymphocyte activity.

Gut protection – protects the intestinal lining and reduces gastrointestinal infection risk.

Enhanced immune response – stimulates the developing immune system to build its own responses.

Long-term benefits – helps shape and strengthen future immune responses.

Active ingredients: Nucleoglobulin, Enterococcus Faecium, vitamins and minerals

Code: 956056, Duostart Puppies & Kittens, 15ml

Targeted GI support for anal gland health and associated problems such as itching and discomfort.

  • Promotes good anal gland function
  • Helps to improve gut microbiome
  • Promote better stool consistency
  • Rich in soluble and insoluble fibre
  • Decreases flatulence

Active ingredients:

Probiotic – Enterocous faecium, Lactobacillus acidophilus

Prebiotic fibres – S. cerevisiae, Beta-glucans, MOS, psyllium and oat fibre.

Enzymatic and antioxidant – Ananas comosus (bromelain), Carica papaya (papain), Aspergillus oryzae (alpha amylase) and Vaccinium myrtillus.

Essential minerals & nutritional support – sodium, potassium, magnesium, iron, selenomethionine and zinc, L-glutamine, glycine and nucleotides.

Code: 955619, GlandVet Chews, pk 30


Movipet

Complimentary feed for cats & dogs

To support healthy intestinal movements and aid in the removal of hairballs.

Active ingredients:

Vitamin E – an antioxidant that protects the gut from oxidative stress and inflammation and supports the intestinal barrier function.

Malt – rich in soluble fibre, which enhances the gut microbiome and promotes overall gut health. Also provides vitamins and minerals.

White mineral oil – lubricant function which coats the ingested hair and mild laxative.

Soya oil – lubricant, mild laxative and source of omega 6-fatty acids which can promote overall health.

Glycerine – moisture retention, laxative effect by softening stool.


Code: 955851, Movipet, 30ml

Activated Charcoal


A formulation with a high concentration of activated charcoal to help with absorption and excretion and promote good hepatic and kidney function.

Activated charcoal also contains:

Glycerine – acts as a cathartic, increasing the urge to defecate, and decreasing GIT transit time and systemic absorption of toxins.

Sorbitol – retains water in the large intestine through osmotic pressure, exerting a diuretic, laxative and cathartic effect.

Curcumin – aids in renal and liver protection by reducing the expression of tight-junction proteins, suppressing proinflammatory cytokines, and the reduction of oxidative stress within the liver.

Piperine – enhances absorption of curcumin, thereby increasing clinical outcomes of free radical scavenging and downregulation of inflammatory mediators.


Activated Charcoal Liquid (first administration)

  • Bottle with applicator syringe to deliver directly to tubes

Activated Charcoal Paste (Follow on)

  • Dial-a-dose syringe for easy administration
  • Wide nozzle bore for ease of flow
    • Reduces pressure needed on plunger
    • Reduces risk of blocking and sudden product release
    • Up to 75% wider than other products

Code: 958451, Activated Charcoal Liquid, 110ml

Probiotic Digestive Paste for cats & dogs

Probiotic Digestive Paste combines Diosmectite with prebiotics and probiotics for the reduction of acute intestinal absorptive disorders during periods of and recovery from acute diarrhoea.

Probiotic Digestive Paste contains:

Prebiotic – MOS prebiotic supports the intestinal flora and binding of pathogens, preventing adhesion to the intestinal wall so they are excreted.

Probiotic – live bacteria and yeasts to aid recovery

Amino Acid – glutamine is a major source of energy for enterocytes that supports and enhances the absorption of water and salts.

Energy Supply – instant source of energy for when the digestive system is compromised.

Immune – beta glucan helps provide favourable conditions for natural flora.

Electrolytes – helps restore electrolyte levels

Designed for ease of use:
