WHen should i give folic acid?
CNC FOLIC FORCE Folic Acid is most commonly given from the time of mating and continued through until whelp. Supplementing throughout the the key window for neural tube formation and early foetal development is crucial to support healthy puppy development. Some owners choose to begin supplementation earlier during season or in the pre-breeding phase as a precaution, especially if they’ve had prior concerns. Folic Acid is a water-soluble B-vitamin, so regular daily intake is important. Because it’s not stored in the body for long, missing days may reduce the benefit — consistency is key.
how much do i give?
Each capsule contains 1mg (1000μg) of Folic Acid. We recommend the following based on risk category:
- Normal-Risk Breeds: 1 capsule daily
- Increased-Risk Breeds: 2 capsules daily
- High-Risk Pregnancies & Breeds: 5 capsules daily, ideally started prior to mating
Why is your folic acid so good?
Unlike many high-dose folic acid tablets intended for human use, our supplements have been designed specifically with dogs in mind. Each capsule contains 1mg (1000μg) of pure, naturally sourced folic acid — the safe and legally permitted strength for supplementation in the UK.
Unlike cheaper alternatives, we don’t use synthetic binders, artificial flavours, or bulking agents. Just clean, consistent folic acid in an easy-to-feed capsule, so you can confidently tailor your girl’s dose according to her breed and risk category.
Other options on the market are often harder to dose, contain unnecessary additives, or require splitting awkward tablets. With CNC FOLIC FORCE Folic Acid, the capsule can simply be opened and the contents mixed into food — perfect for dogs who dislike taking pills! As always, we offer personalised guidance with every order, so you're never left guessing when it matters most.
