Sodium caprylate is able to stabilize canine albumin enabling it to withstand heating that denatures other plasma proteins. The resulting albumin product is of sufficient quality to potentially be used therapeutically as a colloidal resuscitative fluid. Further study is needed into its safety and effect in dogs.
