Thiamine HCl (vitamin B1) is a water-soluble vitamin supplement given to pets to treat or prevent thiamine deficiency. It can be administered orally or by injection, especially in cats and other animals that may develop deficiency due to inadequate diet or prolonged anorexia, helping to support normal neurologic and metabolic function.

Giving your pet an injection might feel intimidating at first, but with practice, it becomes routine. Follow these steps for safe and stress-free injections.
