Founded in Moy, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, in 2006, Macahl Animal Health Ltd began as a family venture — initially trading as JAM, and launched the Oralade® brand in 2008. Their mission: to redefine pet hydration by drawing on veterinary, nutrition, and sports science expertise for dogs and cats.

Oralade was designed in collaboration with nutrition experts, including Dutch chemist Simon Van Dalsem, who brought experience in pet nutrition and human isotonic drinks to the table. Together, they created the first isotonic oral rehydration solution tailored for companion animals, using a highly palatable natural chicken flavour, purified water, plus a balanced mix of simple glucose and essential electrolytes — without any artificial preservatives.

The Oralade range supports veterinary care in several ways. Its GI+ formula is specifically crafted to support proactive prehydration and rapid rehydration during gastrointestinal issues like vomiting or diarrhea. The precise electrolyte and glucose balance supports enhanced fluid absorption; added simple sugars, amino acids, and prebiotic fibers help to maintain intestinal function and support a healthy gut microbiome.

Oralade’s offering extends to variants like Advanced GI+ Concentrate and Advanced RF+, the latter being a ready-to-serve isotonic formula that supports hydration along with renal and urinary function, while remaining phosphorus-free and hypoallergenic.

Pet owners and veterinarians value Oralade for its exceptional palatability, with 8 out of 10 dogs preferring it over typical electrolyte solutions. Its 100% natural roast chicken flavour, free from citrus, preservatives, and chlorine, encourages fluid intake — especially when pets are unwell. It’s also freezer-safe for up to 12 months, making it versatile for use in hot climates or when past-use portions need preserving.

Today, Oralade is distributed in over 50 countries globally, and is manufactured with GMP+ accreditation — ensuring quality and traceability from ingredient origin to bottle.

In Malaysia, Pawxie Sdn Bhd proudly distributes Oralade, making this vet-trusted rehydration and gut-support solution available to veterinary professionals and pet owners seeking reliable, easy-to-use care for their pets in critical hydration scenarios.
