Ready Vet Go Recommends Di-Vetelact: The Importance of Nutrition for Pets at Every Life Stage

Author: Dr. Paul Cunningham, DVM, MANZCVS (ECC) – Ready Vet Go Co-Founder & Chief Veterinarian

As an emergency & paramedic vet, I’ve seen it all, from wide-eyed underweight kittens needing help, senior dogs recovering from major operations, critically ill dogs & cats needing the proper nutritional support to make a favourable recovery. At Ready Vet Go, we’re committed to providing urgent care where it’s needed most. But when it comes to long-term wellbeing, the right nutrition plays a vital role, and that’s where Di-Vetelact comes in.

Ready Vet Go is proud to partner with a trusted Australian brand like Di-Vetelact, who’ve been supporting pet health for over 40 years. Their commitment to science-backed nutrition & PFIAA-approved quality gives me the utmost confidence in recommending their products to families & their furry friends we care for.

Why Di-Vetelact?

Whether your pet is just starting out in life, recovering from illness, or simply feeling the effects of age, Di-Vetelact provides targeted nutritional support designed for real-life situations we see every day.

Here are some common scenarios where I turn to Di-Vetelact as part of my care recommendations:

Newborns & Orphaned Pets

If you’ve taken in an orphaned kitten or a puppy who needs extra feeding support, Di-Vetelact’s nutritionally complete milk replacer is an excellent choice. It gives them the best start to life with a balance of essential nutrients that mimic natural milk without the high lactose levels that can upset sensitive tummies.

Weaning Puppies & Kittens

Transitioning to solid food is a big step for growing pets that can be fraught with hiccups, like vomiting, diarrhoea & loss of appetite. Di-Vetelact helps bridge the gap by supporting digestive health with added prebiotics. It’s gentle, easy to digest, & makes weaning less stressful for both pets & owners, helping pet parents avoid gastrointestinal problems that mean more visits with the vet.

Adoption & Transition Periods

We often attend calls where pets are adjusting to new homes after adoption or rescue. These transitions can be tough on young animals who often have a loss of appetite or deal with dropped weight & gastroenteritis. Di-Vetelact acts like a security blanket, providing comfort & nourishment when pets need it most.

Pregnancy & Nursing Mothers

Pregnancy in dogs & cats is nutritionally demanding. Di-Vetelact’s blend of Australian whey protein, calcium, folate, & prebiotics supports both mum & her growing babies. It’s also helpful post-birth during lactation, when energy & nutrient needs are at their peak.

Pets Recovering from Illness or Surgery

After an illness or procedure, many pets lose their appetite. If you’re in the know, then you know now more than ever how vital proper nutrition & gut health is – not only for ourselves, but also for our pets! I often recommend Di-Vetelact as a highly palatable, nutrient-dense option to help them maintain proper digestive health & regain a strong body condition. With 25 essential vitamins & minerals, it supports recovery & overall health.

Senior Pets

As pets age, their nutritional needs evolve. Di-Vetelact includes ingredients like calcium, vitamin D, selenium, & glutamine to help support bones, joints, immunity, & comfort in their golden years. It’s one of the few supplements I trust to meet these complex needs without upsetting the stomach.

Australian-Made & Trusted

What’s also important to me (and should matter to every pet owner) is quality. Di-Vetelact is proudly Australian-made & AS 5812 compliant, meaning it meets strict standards for safety & nutrition. That PFIAA you see on the pack? It’s your reassurance you’re making a responsible, high-quality choice for your pet by buying from a company who follow compliancy regulations set forth by the Pet Food Industry Association Australia.

Di-Vetelact is available at your local pet store & now online at www.divetelact.com for convenient home delivery.

Final Thoughts

At Ready Vet Go, we believe great care extends beyond the consult.
Nutrition plays a powerful role in healing, thriving, & ageing well. That’s why I recommend Di-Vetelact. It supports the same mission we do: giving pets the healthiest life possible, from their first days & into their golden years.
