This Durvet product is labeled and formulated as a vitamin and electrolyte mix for poultry drinking water, not a dog multivitamin, so despite showing up in this category, it isn't the right pick if you're shopping for a supplement made for dogs.
Poultry keepers who want a quick vitamin and electrolyte boost for a flock's drinking water, not dog owners.

Overview
["Durvet's 6 Pack of Vitamins and Electrolytes comes in 5 gram packets designed to be mixed into a chicken's drinking water, with each packet making up to 6 gallons of fortified water for a flock. The product's own title and description are explicit that this is a poultry supplement, not a dog product.", 'It shows up in the dog multivitamins category here, but nothing in its own listing describes dosing, ingredients, or use for dogs specifically. The specs simply carry over a general Target Species tag rather than any dog-specific formulation.', "At $9.40 for a 6-pack, it's priced like a basic poultry health product, and its 4.7 star rating across 497 reviews reflects buyers who used it for the purpose it's actually made for, chickens and other poultry, not dogs."]

Cons

Performance notes
As a powdered water additive, this product works by dissolving into a poultry waterer, a completely different delivery method than the chews, powders, or liquids made for dogs elsewhere in this category. There is no guaranteed analysis or dosing guidance for canine use anywhere in the listing.
What buyers say
A 4.7 star average across 497 reviews suggests real satisfaction, but the review base is almost certainly poultry owners rather than dog owners, since the product itself is marketed for chickens.
The product is labeled and formulated as a vitamin and electrolyte supplement for poultry drinking water, not for dogs, so it isn't a substitute for a dog-specific multivitamin. Talk to your vet before giving any poultry supplement to a dog.
What is this actually made for?
It's designed to be mixed into a chicken or other poultry flock's drinking water, with each 5 gram packet making up to 6 gallons of fortified water.
Why does it show up in a dog multivitamin list?
It appears here due to a catalog listing mismatch. Its own title, description, and use case point to poultry, not dogs.
