No other organ system influences your pet’s wellbeing and health
more than the state of their digestive system!

Every unhappy, even aggressive pet, and most uncooperative and grumpy furries suffer from gut issues. Treating the digestive system may be the fastest route to a happier furkid!

Symptoms of inflammation and dysbiosis (unsuitable bacteria) in the belly

 A “talking belly”.
Sounds from the belly that may or may not be accompanied by farts and burps. Gas in the belly is the culprit. If gas bubbles get stuck in the belly, the ensuing colic-pain is awful and makes even the best natured pet grumpy.

Your pet is a “picky eater”
Has your pet been vomiting bile on an empty stomach, for example before breakfast is served? This is actually due to too little (not too much!) stomach acids. Less acids in the stomach to digest results in a gassy stomach and belly, which is a red flag for indigestion and pain.

On & off soft and sticky or slimy stools.
This is a sign of an inflammation in the end part of the gut. That’s where the “gut brain” is located. If your pet suffers from an inflammation there, his or her emotions will be negatively affected. “Antisocial behavior” and anxiety are the hallmark signs for “gut brain problems”

How can you help your pet relieve that nagging pain in the belly
& spruce up your pet’s happiness factor?

1. The first step is a gradual shift to fresh, easy to digest (cooked) foods.
Portion your pet’s daily ration into smaller and more frequent meals, like 3 instead of 2 feedings. Your pet’s meals must have only a small amount of vegetable to reduce bloating. Limit vegetables for your dog to a max of 20% per meal. For cats, avoid vegetables all together.

2. Puree the food and slow-feed by hand or feed in a slow-eating food bowl or mat.
This helps to digest food better even if your pet doesn’t produce enough stomach acids.

3. If you hear sounds in the belly, immediately give a small amount of medical (activated) char coal, on empty stomach or between meals so that the charcoal works its charms!

4. Digestive Enzymes mixed into every meal are a “digestive crutch” and often helpful.
Choose a supplement that has at least three (3) different digestive enzymes.
Enzymes have names that end with “-ase” like “protease” or “amylase”.

5. Focus on spore-based probiotic products.
Beware! Most products contain ‘lactobacillus and bifidus’ based probiotics that
can worsen a bloated belly.
