Most people meet VetPlus the same way.
You are in a consulting room. Your ten-year-old Labrador has been slow on the stairs for months,s and the X-ray has just confirmed what you suspected. Or your cat has been straining in the litter tray again. Or your dog's liver values came back high after tick fever. And the vet writes a word on the pad that you have never heard, cannot spell, and will mistype into Google twice before you find it.
Synoquin. Samylin. Cystaid. Aktivait.
This guide is the translation. Every VetPlus product available in India, what it is actually for, which size your specific pet needs, what it costs, how long before you should expect to see anything, and the safety rules that matter. Written for pet parents, structured so you can find your product in thirty seconds.
One thing before we start, and it is the most important sentence in this article: VetPlus products are nutraceuticals, not medicines. They are designed to support a treatment plan, never to replace one. If your pet has symptoms, get a diagnosis first. Buying the right supplement for the wrong problem is the most expensive mistake in this entire category.

What is a nutraceutical, and why does the distinction matter?
A nutraceutical is a supplement made from natural ingredients that delivers health benefits beyond basic nutrition. It sits deliberately between food and medicine: not a complete diet, not a drug, but a targeted nutritional input supporting a specific body system.
That distinction is not marketing pedantry. It changes how you should use these products.
A medicine acts on a disease process. It works fast, it is dosed against a diagnosis, and it stops when the course ends.
A nutraceutical supports a system. It works slowly, it is dosed against body weight, and its value usually comes from months of consistent use, not days.
Which means the two most common ways Indian pet parents waste money on this category are: expecting drug-speed results from a nutraceutical, and using a nutraceutical instead of getting the diagnosis that would have identified the actual problem.
Used correctly, alongside veterinary care, these products do real work. Used as a substitute for a vet visit, they delay treatment while a condition progresses.
Why VetPlus sits at the top of the veterinary nutraceutical category
Three things separate this brand from the shelf of general pet supplements.
It was built for the veterinary channel, not the retail shelf. VetPlus set out in 1995 to sell only through the veterinary profession, with products backed by scientific data. Everything about the range follows from that decision: formulations are condition-specific, sizes are weight-banded, and the products assume a vet is involved in the decision. That is why your vet names them by brand.
Manufacturing is controlled end to end. Over 90% of products are made in-house at the company's own facility in Lytham, Lancashire, and go through multiple separate quality tests before distribution. In a global supplement market where contract manufacturing and variable raw material sourcing are the norm, owning the plant is a meaningful quality signal.
The formulations carry real differentiation. Synoquin is the only joint supplement to contain Dexahan, a purified krill source of highly bioavailable omega-3 fatty acids, alongside high-grade glucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin sulphate. That is a patented ingredient, not a reshuffled generic blend.
The complete VetPlus range in India, decoded
Grouped by the body system each product supports. Prices are current listed prices and are subject to change.
Joint and mobility support
Synoquin — the flagship
Synoquin is a complementary feed that helps maintain healthy joint mobility and supports normal cartilage structure. Its formula combines glucosamine hydrochloride at 99% purity, chondroitin sulphate at 95%, Dexahan purified krill, ascorbic acid and zinc sulphate. The krill component supplies omega-3 fatty acids in a highly bioavailable form, which is what separates it from ordinary fish oil combinations. It is supported by a published clinical trial and is dosed as a single tablet or capsule daily, which matters enormously for real-world compliance in Indian homes.
Crucially, Synoquin is sold in weight bands. Buying the wrong band is the single most common error with this product.
| Product | Weight band | India price |
|---|---|---|
| Synoquin Small Breed | Dogs under 10 kg, and cats | ₹2,130 |
| Synoquin Medium Breed | Dogs 10–25 kg | ₹2,250 |
| Synoquin Large Breed (30 or 120 tablets) | Dogs over 25 kg | ₹2,475 |
| Synoquin Growth (60 tablets) | Growing dogs, 3–24 months | ₹2,800 |
Synoquin Growth deserves separate attention from anyone in India buying a large-breed puppy. It is formulated for growing dogs aged three to twenty-four months, specifically for large breeds or breeds predisposed to osteoarthritis. If you have brought home a Labrador, German Shepherd, Rottweiler, Golden Retriever, Great Dane or Saint Bernard, the joints you protect during those first two years are the joints that dog lives on for the next twelve. This is prevention, and prevention in orthopaedics is worth far more than management.
Approximate strengths per tablet across the bands: small breed supplies 225 mg glucosamine HCl, 95 mg chondroitin sulphate and 95 mg Dexahan; medium breed supplies 360 mg, 135 mg and 135 mg; large breed supplies 475 mg, 200 mg and 200 mg, with vitamin C and zinc scaling alongside. Always confirm against your pack.
Brain, behaviour and ageing
Aktivait — cognitive support for the ageing pet
| Product | For | India price |
|---|---|---|
| Aktivait Small Breed | Small dogs | ₹4,200 |
| Aktivait Medium & Large Breed | Medium and large dogs | ₹5,900 |
Aktivait is an antioxidant-based nutraceutical developed to support cognitive function in ageing animals. Canine cognitive dysfunction is one of the most under-recognised conditions in Indian veterinary practice, largely because owners read the signs as "he's just old." The signs worth acting on: disorientation in familiar rooms, standing in corners or behind doors, reversed sleep patterns and night-time pacing or vocalising, house soiling in a previously clean dog, reduced interaction, and forgetting learned routines.
Cognitive decline is progressive. Support started early is worth far more than support started late, so if your dog is over eight and showing two or more of those signs, raise it at your next appointment rather than waiting.
Critical safety note: Aktivait is formulated separately for dogs and for cats, and the formulations are not interchangeable. Never give a dog product to a cat. Buy the version labelled for your species, and only that version.
Calmex — stress and anxiety support
| Product | For | India price |
|---|---|---|
| Calmex for Dogs (10 or 60 tablets) | Dogs | ₹1,285 |
| Calmex for Cats (60 ml) | Cats | ₹2,800 |
Calmex is a specially blended feed to help promote relaxed behaviour in dogs and cats experiencing stress and anxiety, useful for both short-term stressful events and longer-term anxiety.
In India, this product has an obvious and badly served use case: Diwali. Every year, clinics across the country deal with the aftermath of firework panic, from dogs who bolt and are lost to dogs who injure themselves trying to escape a room. Add to that thunderstorm phobia through monsoon, separation anxiety in a post-pandemic generation of dogs who have never been alone, travel stress, vet-visit anxiety and the fear response of newly adopted rescue dogs.
Two things to understand: behavioural support works best when started before the trigger, not during it, and no supplement replaces behavioural modification, desensitisation and, where the anxiety is severe, veterinary behavioural medicine. Use it as one component of a plan.
Liver and internal organ support
Samylin — liver support
| Product | For | India price |
|---|---|---|
| Samylin for Small Breeddog/catt (30 tablets) | Small dogs and cats | ₹5,800 |
| Samylin for Dogs & Cats (30 tablets) | General | ₹5,800 |
| Samylin Medium Breed (30 tablets) | Medium dogs | ₹8,100 |
| Samylin Large Breed (30 tablets) | Large dogs | ₹10,500 |
Samylin combines S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAMe), silybin, vitamin E and vitamin C to help maintain healthy liver function and reduce the secondary changes associated with oxidative stress. It is used in the management of optimal liver health in dogs and cats, and is relevant in any situation where oxidative stress plays a role.
Why this matters more in India than almost anywhere else. Tick-borne disease is endemic across the country, and babesiosis and ehrlichiosis frequently leave liver involvement behind. Add long courses of hepatically metabolised medication, unregulated over-the-counter dosing, and diets high in poor-quality fat, and elevated liver enzymes are a routine finding on Indian blood panels. SAMe and silybin are the two most widely used nutraceutical agents in veterinary hepatic support worldwide.
Samylin is a supportive product used alongside diagnostics and treatment. Raised liver enzymes need a cause identified. Never treat a number with a supplement and skip the investigation.
Urinary and bladder health
| Product | For | India price |
|---|---|---|
| Cystaid for Cats | Cats | ₹1,417 |
| Canine Cystaid (120 capsules) | Dogs | ₹8,200 |
| Urinaid (60 tablets) | Dogs | ₹5,600 |
Cystaid supports the bladder lining. In chronic cystitis, the protective mucosal barrier of the bladder loses integrity, permeability increases, and inflammation and painful urination follow. Cystaid is formulated to provide nutritional support for maintaining a healthy bladder lining, and is widely used by vets as part of long-term management for cats with lower urinary tract disease and for dogs with chronic cystitis.
Feline lower urinary tract disease may be the single most under-appreciated emergency in Indian cat ownership. Indian cats are typically fed dry food, often drink far too little in a hot climate, and frequently live in flats with one litter tray in a busy corner. That combination is close to a textbook recipe for FLUTD.
This is an emergency, not a supplement decision: a male cat straining in the tray, producing nothing, crying, or repeatedly visiting the tray may have a urinary blockage. That is life-threatening within hours. Go to a vet immediately. Cystaid is for long-term management after diagnosis, never for an acute blockage.
Urinaid is formulated for dogs to support a healthy urinary tract in cases involving bacterial factors. It supports veterinary treatment. It does not replace antibiotics where infection has been diagnosed.
Digestive and gastrointestinal health
Promax — probiotic support
| Product | For | India price |
|---|---|---|
| Promax Small Breed (9 ml) | Small dogs | ₹1,800 |
| Promax Medium Breed (18 ml) | Medium dogs | ₹2,075 |
| Promax Large Breed (30 ml) | Large dogs | ₹2,600 |
Promax is a probiotic and prebiotic digestive support product in easy-dose syringe form. Digestive upset can come from something as ordinary as a diet change, or from stress, bacterial imbalance or a course of antibiotics.
If you keep one VetPlus product at home in India, this is a strong candidate. Between festival food, street scavenging, water changes during travel, and the antibiotic courses that follow every episode of loose motions, the Indian dog's gut takes constant hits. A syringe in the cupboard means you are not driving across the city at 10 pm for a mild upset.
Lypex — pancreatic and digestive enzyme support — ₹5,250
Lypex is a complementary feed for dogs and cats to support digestion, supplied as sprinkle capsules that are opened and mixed into each meal. It is used for animals who would benefit from additional digestive support, most notably those diagnosed with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI).
EPI is a specific diagnosis, not a guess. The classic picture is a dog who eats ravenously, passes large volumes of pale greasy stool, and loses weight regardless of intake. German Shepherds are notably over-represented. If that describes your dog, the answer is a veterinary work-up, not a supplement bought on suspicion.
Fibor — fibre support — ₹2,500
Fibor is a fibre supplement in pellet form (500 g) supporting digestive health and stool consistency. Its most valuable application is the dog with recurring anal gland problems. Correct stool bulk allows the glands to empty naturally during defecation, which is what breaks the cycle of monthly manual expression. Fibre also has a role in supporting management of constipation, loose stools and weight control.
Skin and coat
Coatex — ₹2,100
Coatex provides a specific blend of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids together with vitamins A, D and E. The composition includes linoleic acid, gamma-linolenic acid, eicosatetraenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. It is used for the management of optimal skin and coat health in cats and dogs, supporting normal epidermal turnover, strengthening the skin barrier and providing antioxidant action.
The Indian monsoon runs the skin barrier into the ground every single year. Four months of humidity bring yeast overgrowth, secondary bacterial infection, hot spots and the endless scratch-lick-infect cycle. Barrier support is a seasonal necessity here, and it works best when started in May, before the rain, rather than in August after the damage is done.
Recovery and appetite
Complivit High Calorie Paste (150 g) — ₹2,400
Complivit is a high-calorie nutritional supplement paste supplying concentrated energy plus vitamins and minerals in a palatable form. Its use case is narrow and valuable: the animal that will not eat enough. Post-surgery, post-illness, during recovery from tick fever or parvovirus, in fussy seniors, in kittens and puppies who need a boost, and in animals losing condition through a prolonged illness. A paste bypasses the appetite problem in a way a tablet never can.
Which VetPlus product does your pet need?
| What you're dealing with | Product | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnosed arthritis or joint stiffness, dog under 10 kg | Synoquin Small Breed | Weight band matters |
| Same, dog 10–25 kg | Synoquin Medium Breed | |
| Same, dog over 25 kg | Synoquin Large Breed | |
| Large-breed puppy, 3–24 months | Synoquin Growth | Prevention window |
| Cat with joint stiffness | Synoquin Small Breed/cat capsules | Confirm species on pack |
| Senior dog disoriented, pacing at night | Aktivait (correct size) | Vet assessment first |
| Senior cat with cognitive signs | Aktivait cat formulation only | Never the dog version |
| Fireworks, thunder or separation anxiety in dogs | Calmex for Dogs | Start before the trigger |
| Anxiety in cats | Calmex for Cats | |
| Raised liver enzymes on bloodwork | Samylin (correct size) | Alongside diagnostics |
| Recovery after tick fever with liver involvement | Samylin | Vet-directed |
| Cat with recurrent cystitis or FLUTD | Cystaid for Cats | Rule out blockage first |
| Dog with chronic cystitis | Canine Cystaid | |
| Dog with urinary tract infection, vet-treated | Urinaid | Supports, does not replace, treatment |
| Loose motions, diet change, post-antibiotic gut | Promax (correct size) | Keep one at home |
| Diagnosed EPI, greasy stool, weight loss despite eating | Lypex | Requires diagnosis |
| Recurring anal gland problems, scooting | Fibor | |
| Dull coat, dry or itchy skin, barrier support | Coatex | Rule out parasites first |
| Not eating, recovering, losing condition | Complivit |
Sizing: the mistake that wastes the most money
Three VetPlus ranges are weight-banded, and giving the wrong band means either underdosing (no result, wasted money) or overdosing (unnecessary cost, occasionally more than that).
Weigh your pet. Not an estimate. Not "he's about 25 kilos." Most clinics will let you use the scale in two minutes at no charge.
Synoquin: under 10 kg small, 10–25 kg medium, over 25 kg large. Samylin: small, medium and large breed presentations. Confirm the band on the pack. Aktivait: small breed, and medium and large breed. Species-specific too. Promax: 9 ml small, 18 ml medium, 30 ml large.
Two more rules worth internalising:
Never split a large-breed product to make it stretch across two small dogs. Tablets are not uniformly divisible for active content, and the false economy costs you the result.
Never give a dog product to a cat. Cats metabolise several compounds differently from dogs. This is not a precaution; it is a hard rule.
How long before you see anything?
Setting expectations correctly is the difference between a product that works and a product you abandon at week three.
| Product | Realistic first signs | Full assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Promax | 24–72 hours | 1 week |
| Complivit | Days | 2 weeks |
| Calmex | Varies by situation; use before triggers | 2–4 weeks for ongoing anxiety |
| Lypex | 1–2 weeks | 4–6 weeks |
| Fibor | 1–2 weeks | 4–6 weeks |
| Coatex | 4–6 weeks | 8–12 weeks (new hair growth) |
| Cystaid / Urinaid | 2–4 weeks | 8–12 weeks |
| Samylin | Reassess on repeat bloodwork | As advised by your vet |
| Synoquin | 4–6 weeks | 8–12 weeks |
| Aktivait | 4–8 weeks | 8–12 weeks |
Joint, skin and cognitive products are slow by biology, not by weakness. Cartilage remodels slowly, hair grows at a fixed rate,e and neurological support is cumulative. Stopping at day twenty tells you nothing except that you spent the money without collecting the answer.
Safety rules that actually matter
1. Diagnosis first, always. Every serious use case here — arthritis, liver disease, cystitis, EPI, cognitive dysfunction — needs veterinary confirmation. Supplementing a guess means the real problem keeps progressing while you feel like you are doing something.
2. Never stop prescribed medication to switch to a nutraceutical. These products support treatment. They do not replace pain management, antibiotics, or anything else your vet has prescribed.
3. Respect the species. Dog formulations are not for cats. This is the single most important line in this article for cat owners.
4. Respect the weight band. Under-dosing produces no result and reads as product failure.
5. Tell your vet everything your pet is taking. Including anything bought online, anything a breeder recommended, and any human supplement. Interactions are real.
6. Do not stack overlapping products. Two joint supplements, or two omega sources, do not double the benefit and can push intake past sensible limits.
7. Pregnancy, lactation and existing medication all require veterinary sign-off before you start anything.
8. Any acute or worsening sign is a vet visit, not a supplement decision. Straining to urinate, collapse, refusal to eat for more than 24 hours, vomiting that will not stop, sudden inability to bear weight. Go in.
What VetPlus costs, honestly
The prices in this guide will feel high next to the general pet supplement shelf, and there is no point pretending otherwise. Two things reframe them.
Look at the price per day, not the price per pack. Synoquin is dosed at one tablet daily. A 120-tablet pack is four months of dosing. Divide accordingly before you decide it is expensive.
Compare against the alternative spend. A repeat orthopaedic consult, ongoing pain management, a urinary blockage requiring catheterisation and hospitalisation, or a monthly anal gland appointment are all larger numbers than a supplement pack, and considerably less pleasant for everyone involved.
The genuinely expensive route is buying the wrong brand, giving it for three weeks, concluding the brand does not work, and starting again with something else.
How to buy genuine VetPlus in India
Buy 100% genuine VetPlus supplements in India. Sealed packs, verified batch numbers, correct storage and clear expiry dates. Shop Synoquin, Coatex, Cystaid and more at Pets Lifestyle.
VetPlus is a veterinary-channel brand, which means the supply chain matters more here than in general retail.
Check for the printed batch number and expiry on the pack itself, not on a pasted sticker.
Confirm the size band and species on the box before you pay. This is where most errors happen.
Be wary of steep discounts. Import duty, freight and controlled storage set a cost floor. Deep discounts usually indicate near-expiry stock or parallel imports.
Ask how it is stored. Nutraceuticals containing fatty acids and enzymes degrade in heat. Indian warehouse conditions are a real variable.
Buy from a seller who can answer clinical questions. Ask which Synoquin band suits a 22 kg dog, or why the cat Aktivait cannot be swapped for the dog version. If the seller cannot answer, they are shipping boxes, not supporting your pet's health.
Keep your vet in the loop. These products are designed to be used with veterinary oversight, and you get better outcomes when your vet knows what your pet is on.
Why these products fit Indian conditions specifically
Joint disease is over-represented here. The most popular breeds in urban India — Labrador, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Rottweiler — are precisely the breeds with the highest hip and elbow dysplasia and cruciate risk. Add hard flooring in most Indian homes, limited controlled exercise, and a widespread weight problem, and joint support becomes preventive medicine rather than a luxury.
Tick-borne disease drives liver load. Babesia and Ehrlichia are endemic nationwide. Recovery frequently leaves liver enzyme elevation behind, which is exactly the scenario hepatic nutraceutical support was designed for.
Cat urinary disease is a national blind spot. Dry-food diets, low water intake in a hot climate, indoor apartment living and limited litter tray access combine into high FLUTD risk. Bladder lining support is one of the most valuable long-term interventions available for these cats.
Firework and storm anxiety is annual and predictable. Diwali and the monsoon storm season are on the calendar. That makes anxiety support plannable rather than reactive.
The monsoon dismantles the skin barrier every year. Four months of humidity produce the pyoderma and yeast load that fills Indian clinics every June through September.
Gut disruption is constant. Diet variability, scavenging, travel, and heavy antibiotic use leave a lot of Indian dogs with chronically unsettled digestion.

Which Samylin size does my dog need? Samylin comes in small, medium and large breed presentations, priced at ₹5,800, ₹8,100 and ₹10,500 respectively in India. Confirm the correct band on the pack against your pet's weight.
What is Cystaid used for? Cystaid provides nutritional support for the bladder lining. In chronic cystitis, the bladder's protective mucosal barrier loses integrity, increasing permeability and inflammation. Cystaid is used as part of long-term management in cats with lower urinary tract disease and dogs with chronic cystitis.
My cat is straining in the litter tray. Should I buy Cystaid? No. Go to a veterinarian immediately. A cat, particularly a male cat, straining without producing urine may have a urinary blockage, which is life-threatening within hours. Cystaid is for long-term management after diagnosis, never for an acute episode.
What is Aktivait used for? Aktivait is an antioxidant-based nutraceutical supporting cognitive function in ageing dogs and cats. It is used where owners notice disorientation, altered sleep patterns, night pacing, reduced interaction or loss of house training in a senior pet.
Can I give dog Aktivait to my cat? No. Aktivait is formulated separately for dogs and cats, and the versions are not interchangeable. Always use the formulation labelled for your species.
What is Calmex used for? Calmex is a blended feed that helps promote relaxed behaviour in dogs and cats experiencing stress or anxiety, covering both short-term stressful events and longer-term anxiety.
Does Calmex help with Diwali fireworks? It is used to support pets through stressful events including fireworks. Behavioural support works best when started ahead of a known trigger rather than during it, and it works alongside a proper anxiety management plan rather than replacing one. Discuss timing with your vet.
What is Promax used for? Promax is a probiotic and prebiotic digestive support product in syringe form, used for digestive upset caused by diet change, stress, bacterial imbalance or antibiotic courses. It is sized 9 ml for small, 18 ml for medium and 30 ml for large dogs.
What is Lypex used for? Lypex is a complementary feed supporting digestion in dogs and cats, supplied as sprinkle capsules mixed into each meal. It is most commonly used in animals diagnosed with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) or others needing additional digestive support.
What is Fibor used for? Fibor is a fibre pellet supplement supporting digestive health and stool consistency. It is widely used for dogs with recurring anal gland problems, because correct stool bulk supports natural gland emptying.
What is Coatex used for? Coatex supplies a blend of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids with vitamins A, D and E, supporting skin and coat health, normal epidermal turnover, skin barrier strength and antioxidant action in dogs and cats.
What is Complivit used for? Complivit is a high-calorie nutritional paste supplying concentrated energy, vitamins and minerals. It is used for pets recovering from illness or surgery, fussy eaters, and animals losing condition.
Are VetPlus products medicines? No. They are nutraceuticals, also described as complementary feeds. They support treatment plans and general health but do not replace veterinary diagnosis, prescription medication or clinical care.
Do VetPlus products need a prescription? They are not prescription medicines, but they are designed for use with veterinary guidance, and most are aimed at conditions requiring diagnosis. Speak to your vet before starting.
How long does VetPlus take to work? Digestive products like Promax often act within 24 to 72 hours. Joint, skin and cognitive products work over weeks: expect first signs at 4 to 6 weeks and a fair assessment at 8 to 12 weeks.
Can I give two VetPlus products together? Often yes, when they target different systems, and combinations such as a joint product with a gut product are common. Avoid duplicating the same function or omega source, and confirm any combination with your vet.
Where is VetPlus manufactured? In the company's own GMP-certified facility in Lytham, Lancashire, United Kingdom, where over 90% of its products are made in-house and undergo multiple quality tests before distribution.
Is VetPlus safe for long-term use? These products are formulated for ongoing support, and many conditions they address are managed over years. Long-term use should be reviewed periodically with your veterinarian, with recheck examinations and bloodwork where relevant.
How do I know my VetPlus product is genuine? Check for a printed batch number and expiry on the pack, confirm the correct species and weight band, avoid unrealistic discounts, and buy from a seller who can answer clinical questions about the product.

SAMe (S-adenosyl-L-methionine) — a compound central to liver metabolism and antioxidant defence, widely used in veterinary hepatic support.
Silybin — the active fraction of milk thistle, used alongside SAMe for liver support.
GAG layer — the protective glycosaminoglycan lining of the bladder wall. Loss of its integrity is central to chronic cystitis.

GMP — Good Manufacturing Practice, a certified quality standard for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production.
The bottom line
VetPlus is a clinical brand. It rewards being used clinically: get the diagnosis, choose the product that matches it, buy the correct species and weight band, give it long enough for the biology to respond, and review with your vet.
Do that and these products earn their price. Skip the diagnosis, guess the size, and quit at week three, and no brand at any price will help.

Unsure which product or which size fits your pet? Talk to us before you order, and bring your vet's advice with you. We would rather send you a ₹1,800 Promax that solves the problem than a ₹10,500 pack that was never the right answer. That is what Research Before Sales means here.
