NaturVet Digestive Enzymes with Prebiotics & Probiotics is a wonderful product that I regularly give to my four dogs (2 Dachshunds, a Chihuahua and a French Bulldog). I feel that it plays a very important role in their having a healthy digestive tract, and especially my longhaired Dachshund who was prone to stomach upset and loose stools. We tried gradually changing her to different dog food brands to no avail. The problem was only remedied when we started her on NaturVet Digestive Enzymes with Prebiotics & Probiotics. If you have a dog with a sensitive stomach and/or loose stools you definitely should give this a try. It works wonders!
I like that NaturVet Digestive Enzymes with Prebiotics & Probiotics:
1) Aids in digestion of food and absorption of nutrients.
2) Makes my dogs stool firm.
3) Decreases their gassiness (which is a big deal for our bulldog).
4) Strengthens their immune system, and slows the growth of disease-causing bacteria.
5) Contains prebiotics to feed the probiotics (good bacteria) supercharging them.
6) And I like knowing that it is made in the USA.
It can be sprinkled on a small amount of dry or wet food (to make sure all of it is eaten), stirred in, and is readily consumed by all four of my dogs. If you are feeding dry food, add a small amount of room temperature bottled spring water to it before sprinkling the product on (chlorinated tap water will kill the probiotics). I find that it sticks to moistened dry food and is better consumed that way. After they have eaten the small portion of food containing the NaturVet enzymes/probiotics you can give them the rest of their food.
HOW IT WORKS:
Your pet's digestive tract normally contains billions of bacteria and micro-organisms that assist with digestion. It requires a healthy balance of friendly and unfriendly bacteria. Poor diet, antibiotics, prolonged illness and aging can deplete the beneficial bacteria faster than they can be replenished. An incorrect balance of unhealthy bacteria over desirable bacteria is associated with poor digestion, inadequate Vitamin B12 absorption, systemic yeast infections and autoimmune diseases.
Your pet may also be deficient in digestive enzymes because the organs that make them produce less and less as your pet ages and also because most of the enzymes normally found in foods are lost when the foods are cooked and processed. Enzyme deficiencies cause gas, constipation, diarrhea, skin rashes, bloating, gastric upset and lowered immune function.
The prebiotics in NaturVet Digestive Enzymes with Prebiotics & Probiotics feed the probiotics (good bacteria) supercharging them so that they can restore the proper bacterial balance and fight the growth of disease-causing bacteria and yeast. And the enzymes help break down food so that it can be easily absorbed by the body ensuring your dog or cat is getting the nutrients they need.
PLEASE NOTE that if, when your pet begins taking probiotics, they initially experience gas or diarrhea these can actually be signs that the probiotics are working and that harmful bacteria and yeast are dying and being eliminated from your pet's body along with other wastes and toxins. This process usually lasts around three days, but can last longer.
