Vetark ReptoBoost Probiotic Recovery Supplement 300g

Vetark ReptoBoost is a veterinary-grade probiotic supplement formulated specifically for reptiles, combining beneficial bacteria, digestive enzymes, electrolytes, and vitamins in a single powder. It is designed for use during recovery from illness, antibiotic treatment, dehydration, or stress — and is suitable across all reptile species.

What's in the formula

• Lactobacillus bacteria to temporarily colonise the gut and help stabilise intestinal pH
• Electrolytes to compensate for losses caused by diarrhoea or illness
• Maltodextrins for sustained energy delivery during recovery
• Dextrose and additional electrolytes to further support gut and systemic function

How it works in the gut

Probiotics do not need to establish permanently to be effective. Lactobacillus works by creating mildly acidic conditions in the gut during its short residence, which helps the reptile's own natural flora to rebalance. This mechanism is particularly important when normal gut populations have been disrupted — whether by pathogens, antibiotic use, or prolonged stress.

Clinical and veterinary use

Vetark ReptoBoost is a recognised tool in veterinary reptile practice, particularly when antibacterial treatments have disturbed normal gut flora and created conditions where inappropriate bacteria could proliferate — a situation that can lead to haemorrhagic enteritis if left unaddressed. It can be administered by stomach tube in reptiles that are too unwell to drink voluntarily, making it practical in clinical settings as well as at home.

Administration

For stressed or recovering reptiles, the standard guidance is 4g (one scoop) dissolved per 100ml of drinking water. The high palatability of the powder means most species will accept it readily via their water source, requiring no specialist handling or force-feeding in routine use.

Vetark ReptoBoost gives keepers and vets a practical, well-evidenced option for gut support at the times it matters most — whether that is post-illness recovery, rehydration, or maintaining gut health through a course of treatment.
