Check out our collection of dog-wellness supplements and supplies 

If you've ever had a dog, especially a puppy, battle dehydration, you know how serious it can get. And if you’ve had to make an emergency vet run for it? You also know how fast the bill adds up. In Utah, the average vet visit for fluid therapy can run you $180 to $280 just for one round of subcutaneous fluids. 

That’s why we’re offering Lactated Ringer’s Electrolyte Injection – 1000mL at just $40. And if you need needles, we’ve got those too:

10 pack: $8

50 pack: $17

100 pack: $30

You’re saving over $150 per treatment compared to a vet visit, and for breeders, that adds up fast. We're doing this because we care about your dogs, your breeding programs, and your peace of mind

What Is Lactated Ringer's Electrolyte Injection?

Lactated Ringer's is a sterile, balanced fluid solution packed with essential electrolytes like sodium, potassium, calcium, and lactate. It’s used to rehydrate pets fast, especially when they’re dehydrated due to illness, stress, vomiting, diarrhea, or surgery.

You can administer it intravenously (IV) in a clinical setting or subcutaneously (Sub-Q) at home, depending on your dog’s needs and your vet’s guidance.

Why This Matters: What Dehydration Can Do to Your Dog

When dogs lose fluids, they also lose electrolytes critical for muscle function, nerve signaling, and organ health. Dehydration doesn’t just make your pup tired; if left untreated, it can lead to serious complications like kidney failure, shock, or worse.

That’s why timely fluid therapy matters so much, especially for:

- Puppies

- Nursing mothers

- Seniors

- Dogs recovering from illness, heat stress, or surgery

How to Tell if Your Dog Is Dehydrated

Knowing the signs of dehydration can help you catch it early and act fast. Here’s what to watch for:

- Lethargy: Your dog seems more tired or low-energy than usual

- Dry gums: Healthy gums should feel moist, not sticky or dry

- Sunken eyes: A visible sign of fluid loss

- Skin tenting: Gently pull the skin between their shoulder blades. If it doesn’t snap back quickly, that’s a red flag

- Excessive panting: Especially in cool environments

- Loss of appetite or vomiting

- Reduced urination or dark, concentrated pee

If you notice two or more of these symptoms, it’s time to step in and fast.

Benefits of Using Lactated Ringer’s

- Rapid Rehydration: Replaces lost fluids and supports internal organ function

- Electrolyte Rebalance: Replenishes sodium, potassium, and calcium to stabilize your dog’s system

- Safe for Ongoing Use: When directed by a vet, this can be used as part of a long-term hydration plan

- Flexible Administration: Can be given Sub-Q at home to avoid unnecessary vet visits

Recommended Use and Dosage

Always follow your veterinarian’s guidance for dosage. The amount needed will depend on your dog’s weight, age, and the severity of dehydration.

- Subcutaneous (under the skin): Most breeders and experienced dog owners use this at home for maintenance or recovery

- Intravenous (IV): Reserved for acute, emergency-level dehydration, usually in a clinic

Use sterile needles and proper technique. If this is your first time, your vet can walk you through it once, and you’ll be good to go from there.

Storage and Shelf Life

- Store at room temperature between 68°F and 77°F

- Keep in moisture barrier packaging until ready to use

- Inspect the solution before using it; it should be clear with no particles or discoloration

- Do not reuse once opened; discard any unused portion after treatment
