Natural digestive system tonic soothes stomach bloat & the gastrointestinal system of cats & dogs. Digestive Support Benefits: Maintains healthy digestive functioning Soothes gastric mucus membranes Maintains health energy levels and general well-being Supports routine absorption of nutrition Digestive health in pets Domestic animals, like humans, are subject to the damaging effects of cooked and processed foods, food additives, environmental pollution, and the stress of modern day living. All of these factors can affect digestive functioning and lead to a range of digestive problems. As pet owners, we try to do the best for our animals and to feed them healthy, nutritious food that will not harm them. However, advertising and the claims of some pet food manufacturers have contributed to the misinformation surrounding what is best for our pets. The result is that pets in today's world may not enjoy the same support for healthy digestion as they may have had in the past. The natural way There is a lot you can do to support your pet’s digestive system naturally. Try to feed your pet organic foods where possible and avoid giving your animal fatty foods or foods with excessive sugar. Never give an animal chocolate or junk foods – not only are these foods unhealthy, but they may upset your pet’s digestive harmony. Your pet should be fed a diet of 20% protein and the rest of their diet should be made up of healthy carbohydrates and vegetables. Vegetables will provide a good source of fibre, and healthy pet treats can also promote digestive health. How can natural remedies help? In the wild, animals instinctively eat herbs that can assist their digestive systems to function optimally. Unfortunately, domestic animals do not have access to the variety of herbs available to their wild counterparts and therefore miss out of the benefits of herbs growing in the wild. As pet owners, the best way to correct this would be to provide your animals with herbal supplements, known to provide the same benefits. Herbal remedies have a long history of promoting digestive health – knowledge which has, in many cases, been confirmed via more recent clinical research. Holistic practitioners recognize that the whole animal should be treated to maximize health and reduce imbalance in the system caused by a variety of environmental and dietary stresses. A combination of natural medicine, healthy diet, and regular exercise will help your pet to maintain digestive health and functioning. What is Digestive Support? Digestive Support is a 100% herbal remedy specially formulated to support digestive health and functioning in pets. Digestive Support is an excellent digestive system tonic and contains three carefully chosen herbs in therapeutic dosage to soothe and support the stomach lining, esophagus, and entire digestive tract. Presented in easy to administer capsules, Digestive Support can be given whole, or the capsules may be opened and the contents mixed with a favorite treat. What are the Ingredients? Digestive Support contains the following ingredients: Glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) is an excellent tonic for the intestines, bladder, kidney and entire digestive tract. This herb is also very effective in soothing the lining of the digestive tract. It has long been used as an herbal remedy for gastro-intestinal health and is well known for its immune-supporting properties. Licorice also exerts a gentle relaxing action on the bowels, helping to support healthy digestion and waste removal and has been investigated for its promotion of liver health. (Arase Y, Ikeda K, Murashima N, et al. “The long term efficacy of glycyrrhizin in chronic hepatitis C patients”. Cancer 1997;79(8):1494-1500.) Ulmus fulva (slippery elm) is known for its bark, which is an excellent digestive herb rich in trace minerals, manganese, iodine, protein and soothing mucilage. It is a very highly respected herb in naturopathic circles and is regularly used by holistic veterinarians to improve the health of the digestive tract. (DeHaan RL. Home remedies for pets. J Am Holistic Veterinary Med Assoc 1994;12:26.) Althaea officinalis (marshmallow) is a well known remedy for digestive health and contains large sugar molecules, called mucilage, which exert a soothing demulcent effect on the mucous membranes of the digestive tract. This makes Marshmallow an ideal natural remedy to support a healthy lining in the digestive tract. Rice Powder (inactive ingredient) How do I use Digestive Support? Digestive Support comes in convenient capsule form. Capsules may be swallowed whole by larger dogs. However, most owners find that it is easier and more convenient to open the capsule and mix the contents with wet food or a treat and prevent stress to both pet and owner! Cats especially hate to have capsules forced down their throats and will happily eat the dried herb when it is mixed with a treat, a little fish or rolled into a butter ball.
