Critical Care® was developed and is recommended because we understand your need for an effective, versatile choice that you can trust for the treatment of your pet. Critical Care is a premium recovery food which can be given to herbivores that are unwilling to eat their normal diet due to illness or surgery. This specially-formulated product contains all the essential nutrients of a complete diet as well as high-fiber timothy hay to ensure proper gut physiology and digestion.

Dr. Vanessa Rolfe

“Failure to thrive uromastix neonates tube fed with finely ground Critical Care through a 20 ga ball-ended feeding needle. Before treatment (sid feeding) 80% death rate over 6-10 days. After support instituted >90% survival with tube feeding discontinued in 1 to 2 weeks. Survivors continued longer than 6 months.”
