All owners, of course, want only the best for their charges, so when they hear the word “homeopathy” they immediately panic and refuse to purchase the product, and for good reason.
Rarely can homeopathy bring any benefit to an animal or anyone in general; usually it is only a waste of money and nerves. However, in the case of Elvestin, such statements cease to be true. This is due to the fact that the manufacturer of this product not only promises consumers effectiveness, but also provides it. According to laboratory studies, Elvestin drops actually improve the immune system, ensure stable functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, support metabolism, and also protect the liver from the harmful influences of the outside world. The medicine is used not only for cats, but also for other animals, including cattle and rodents. Pregnancy, old age and infancy are not at all contraindications for health improvement with Elvestin.

Pregnant, lactating and puppies
Elvestin is recommended for pregnant and lactating dogs, as the drug promotes better development of offspring. The homeopathic remedy is useful for puppies of any age, but especially newborns who have to be fed artificially.

After treatment is completed, the drop bottle should not be used for household purposes.

There are no contraindications.
Side effects

In this case, the pet experiences itching, nausea, diarrhea and other manifestations of an allergic reaction. If it develops, drops should be abandoned. If the dog's condition does not improve, it is necessary to show it to a doctor .
Reviews from veterinarians and breeders
Customer reviews for the drug Elvestin are surprising in their positive direction. Firstly, people are surprised that a homeopathic remedy affects and solves such a wide range of problems. Secondly, the result pleases everyone: the pet becomes healthy, protected, inaccessible to the threats of external stimuli. Use during pregnancy bears fruit. For example, a breeder of Himalayan cats gave birth to four healthy kittens. The birth process went without problems, although this breed is famous for its predisposition to pathological childbirth. Otherwise, kittens that were abandoned by the cat after giving birth were given a treatment course with Elvestin in combination with feed mixtures from a veterinary pharmacy. Most of the animals were saved, but others were not given the opportunity to survive. Veterinarians prescribe the drug together with any medication. For example, the same difficult childbirth is not carried out only when taking Elvestin - a dropper is also present. Some veterinarians are suspicious of the drug. It is generally accepted that homeopathy is a rather useless remedy. Nevertheless, the practice of using this particular remedy proves that the opposite cases occur. Elvestin, as veterinarians also say, affects the protective functions of the liver.

Reviews from owners and veterinarian
Peter, 41 years old, Nizhny Novgorod : “For work, I often have to move from place to place, and every time the dog experiences stress. Not all localities have food suitable for our pet, so we have to feed the dog different foods. All this negatively affects his health.
The veterinarian recommended Elvestin drops. We started giving them to our pet every day. I can’t say whether the condition of the internal organs has improved, since no tests were taken, but the dog has become more active and cheerful, there is no diarrhea, he eats well. Recently we calmly endured our next move.”
Elizaveta, 33 years old, Krasnoyarsk : “I am the owner of a small dog of an unknown breed. When she was about to give birth, they decided to prepare, because the doctor warned that the birth would be difficult. He recommended homeopathy - Elvestin drops. They were given according to the scheme developed by the veterinarian.
When labor began, they called the doctor. He arrived and put on an IV, just in case. After the puppies were born, drops were also given. Both the dog and the offspring are doing well.”
Gennady, 37 years old, veterinarian, Kostroma : “Elvestin is a homeopathic remedy. Many colleagues are suspicious of homeopathy. I don't agree with them. I recommend Elvestin quite often. I prescribe it as part of the complex treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, as a prevention of infections, etc.
There were no negative reviews, no side effects. The price of the drug is affordable for many.”
