Dolfos ProstaDol, 90 tablets is a dietary supplement for dogs from the Polish brand Dolfos. According to the manufacturer, it relieves problems associated with prostatic hypertrophy (enlargement). The main ingredient is beta-sitosterol, a plant substance that, the manufacturer says, has a regenerative effect on prostate epithelial cells, is anti-inflammatory and anti-oedematous and reduces local swelling of the gland. Cranberry extract (Vaccinium macrocarpon) supports the urinary system and helps flush harmful bacteria from the urinary tract. Vitamin E, zinc, manganese and selenium protect prostate and urinary cells from free radicals and age-related changes. The dose is 1 tablet per 20 kg of body weight per day, for at least 3 months.
What prostate enlargement in dogs is
Benign prostate enlargement is common in adult intact male dogs. It can cause difficulty urinating or passing stools, drops of blood in the urine and lethargy. Similar signs occur with other conditions — inflammation, cysts, tumours — so a vet should make the diagnosis after an examination and ultrasound. A supplement can be part of support but doesn't replace treatment.

Indications
According to the manufacturer, ProstaDol is used in dogs to support proper prostate function, and before and after prostate surgery. Decide on its use together with a vet who knows your dog's condition.
How to give it
The manufacturer recommends 1 tablet per 20 kg of body weight per day for at least 3 months, repeating the course if needed. For a 40 kg dog that's 2 tablets a day, for a 20 kg dog one. The description doesn't say how to dose smaller dogs — check with your vet. The tablet can be given with food or a treat.
How soon to expect results
Prostate supplements work gradually, which is why the manufacturer specifies a course of at least 3 months. Don't stop early unless your vet advises otherwise. If symptoms — difficulty urinating, blood in the urine, pain — get worse, see a vet urgently.
Prevention and neutering
Prostate enlargement is linked to sex hormones, so it's much less common in neutered males. If your dog isn't used for breeding, discuss neutering with your vet — it's one of the main ways to address the problem. The supplement can support your dog before and after that decision.
Other Dolfos supplements
The brand also makes other support supplements, such as Dolfos HepaDol for the liver and Dolfos Dolvit Senior Plus for older dogs. For the urinary tract, another brand offers Candioli Cystocure. All products are in the medicines section.
Storage
Keep the tub tightly closed somewhere dry and cool, out of reach of children and pets.
Who it suits
Owners of adult intact male dogs with an enlarged prostate — on a vet's recommendation, as support for the prostate and urinary system, including before and after surgery.
Verdict
Dolfos ProstaDol is a prostate supplement for male dogs with beta-sitosterol, cranberry extract, vitamin E, zinc, manganese and selenium; 1 tablet per 20 kg daily for at least 3 months.
