Protexin Veterinary Cobalaplex – Vitamin B12 & B9 (Folate) for Cats and Dogs 60 capsules

Protexin Veterinary Cobalaplex is a tasty, easy-to-give supplement designed to support your cat or dog’s health at a cellular level. In addition to supporting B12 and B9 levels, it plays a key role in preventing and managing anemia, which is very common in pets with urinary, kidney, or gastrointestinal issues and often shows up in routine blood tests. By ensuring your pet receives adequate vitamin B12 (cobalamin) and folic acid (B9), Cobalaplex helps maintain healthy red blood cell production, energy levels, and overall wellbeing.

This premium supplement:

• Supports cobalamin (vitamin B12) levels

• Supports folic acid (vitamin B9) levels

• Provides prebiotic support for gut health

• Is suitable for both cats and dogs

The capsules are artificial chicken-flavoured, making them palatable for most pets. They can be given whole, or the contents can be sprinkled onto food for simple and stress-free administration.

Why You’ll Love It

Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin)
Cobalamin is essential for red blood cell formation, DNA synthesis, and metabolising amino and fatty acids. It also plays a crucial role in kidney and urinary tract health, particularly in older pets or those with renal conditions, where B12 deficiency is common. Adequate levels of B12 support energy production, nerve function, and overall cellular health, while helping prevent anemia, a common complication of urinary and kidney disease.

Folic Acid (Vitamin B9)
Folic acid works hand in hand with B12 to support DNA repair, cell division, and healthy intestinal cells. This is vital for producing red and white blood cells and maintaining intestinal absorption of nutrients—critical for pets with urinary or kidney issues, as nutrient uptake can be compromised, which can contribute to anemia.

Prebiotic Support for Gut Health
Cobalaplex contains Preplex® prebiotics, a combination of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and acacia (gum arabic). These feed the beneficial bacteria in the gut, helping create a diverse and healthy microbiome, which optimises the absorption and effectiveness of B12 and B9. A healthy gut is especially important in pets with urinary or renal problems, as it supports overall systemic health.

Scientific Support and References

Protexin Veterinary Cobalaplex is supported by established veterinary and nutritional research recognising the crucial role of vitamin B12 and folic acid in systemic health, including metabolic pathways that influence urinary and renal function. Studies have shown that abnormalities in cobalamin levels — whether low or high — may be associated with gastrointestinal, hepatic, and renal conditions in both cats and dogs, highlighting the importance of maintaining optimal B‑vitamin levels for overall wellness and organ function.

Pet Parent Review

“Our senior cat has kidney problems and was struggling with low energy and anemia. Cobalaplex has been amazing—she eats the capsules easily, and we can see her energy and coat improving. I feel confident knowing she’s getting the B12 and B9 she needs.”
