WHEN AND WHY WAS VERM-X DEVELOPED?
Owner of Verm-x stated that:
“My first step was to contact the National Institute of Medical Herbalists in London who informed me that prior to pharmaceuticals being available herbs were the standard practice used in animal husbandry. I started by working with the then Chairman of the Institute to find suitable herbal recipes for effective herbal worm treatments which we branded under the name of Verm-X. In a nutshell we have developed formulations with herbs that have been used for 1000s of years and that have stood the test of time.
We have simply made natural formulations easily available to provide any animal owner a choice. That choice is whether to use a pharmaceutical or a herbal and organic approach to their husbandry routines.
We are often asked why we do not make our research papers available or why we do not label Verm-X as a wormer. Verm-X is not a registered pharmaceutical product. In the EU there are strict guidelines, governed in the UK by the Veterinary Medicines Directorate, that restrict the use of words and information, such as our research and studies, that may portray a product as a registered medicine if it is not. We at Verm-X have worked closely with the VMD since our launch to ensure we comply with these regulations.”
Q&As
Can I crush up Verm-X Cat Crunchies to add them to my cat’s daily feed? Absolutely, the crunchies can be fed however is easiest for you. The important thing is your cat receives their two treats a day.
Is it OK to give Verm-X to a cat with renal failure? Verm-X would be safe and is commonly used on cats with renal failure. Verm-X formulations are 100% herbal and many of the herbs we use contain blood cleansing properties which help support the kidneys filtering toxins and waste products from the blood.
The Verm-X product has garlic in it. I thought this was toxic to Cats and Dogs?The Verm-X range does contain garlic but the quantities are small and therefore generally safe to use. For example, in a small dog e.g 10kg bodyweight, 50g of garlic would need to be fed to cause toxicity. Our dose is 0.036g daily, which equals 0.072% of the toxic dose. At this level, we feel toxicity is very unlikely, even with daily dosing.
My cat has a gluten, wheat and cereal allergy and has to be fed ‘sensitive’ type of cat food. Can I feed Verm-X?Yes, Verm-X Cat Crunchies are gluten, wheat and cereal free and are ideal for animals with sensitive digestive systems as the Verm-X included is also very soothing and beneficial to the gut health.
