Forte Healthcare has launched CharcoPet, an activated charcoal oral gel to bind and eliminate hazardous substances in dogs, cats, and exotic pets, in the UK and Ireland.

CharcoPet is a ready-to-use oral gel formulated with 50% activated charcoal and marine-derived polysaccharides.

Forte says Charcopet has a high concentration of activated charcoal per ml, which reduces the volume needed and minimises handling stress.

It's supplied in a 2 x 30ml dial-dose syringes, with each syringe suitable for up to 15 kg bodyweight, used at 2 ml/kg bodyweight orally, repeatable every 4–6 hours if clinically required.

Dr Lucy Chadwick MVB ACIM CMktr MRCVS, Global Partnerships Manager & Head of Technical Services at Forte Healthcare said: “CharcoPet represents a major step forward in veterinary care, offering practitioners a fast, precise, and reliable solution when faced with suspected or confirmed cases of toxin or medication ingestion."
