Tomlyn Annouces New Palatable Products for Pet Nutrition and Health

Posted by Tomlyn on Jul 24th 2011

FORT WORTH, TX – July 25, 2011 – Tomlyn, maker of pets and health and wellness products, today announced the launch of two new offerings supporting dog and cat health. Nutri-Cal Soft Chews and Pill-Masker each offer a flavorful, enjoyable way to administer oral supplements to dogs and cats. Both products are available to pet distributors nationwide, and will be in pet store this summer.

Nutri-Cal, the gel supplement that pet owners have trusted for years, is now available in a great-tasting chew, Nutri-Cal Soft Chews. Containing a concentrated source of vitamins and minerals, Nutri-Cal Soft Chews offer the family pet a variety of benefits, including:

  • Energy and nutrition
  • Veterinatian formulation to support pet nutrition needs
  • High palatability

"As anyone who has has a dog or cat will know, pets can be particular about the type of foods, and medicine, that they are willing to swallow, " said Carol Kisill, Tomlyn product manager. "Our goal at Tomlyn has always been to make supplements as great tasting as they are beneficial. By introducing Nutri-Cal in a soft chew form, pet owners are able to decide which delivery method is best for their animal–the original gel or the new soft chews.

In addition to Nutri-Cal Soft Chews, Tomlyn has developed Pill-Masker, a shapeable paste that wraps around pills of any shape or form to allow for a smooth delivery of needed medicines. Once a pill is wrapped with the moist, meat-flavored paste, pets eat it like a treat.

Tomlyn Business Unit Manager Peter Trevino noted, "Many pet owners need a simple solution to give their pets medication, since pills are necessary but do not taste good by themselves. Pill-Masker is unique in that it is a paste that conforms to the shape of the pill–much like putty–preserving the medicine intact and wrapping it in a meat flavor that dogs and cats will love. And, unlike peanut butter-based products, the paste doesn't stock to fingers."

Available through pet product distributors, Tomlyn products are offered at pet stores nationwide. For more information about Nutri-Cal Soft Chews and Gels, Pill-masker, and a variety of other scientifically formulated products for pets, visit Tomyln.com.
