This stuff works! The small capsules are easy to open and just sprinkle the fine powder onto food, mix in a bit and your pet won't even know you have just given it to him.
My 14 yr. old cat had daily diarrhea and almost daily vomiting, was eating lots but not gaining any weight. I've had her on Ark Gentle Digest for Dogs and Cats for one month and the diarrhea is almost totally gone, no more vomiting and she's even gaining a little weight. I strongly recommend this product.

Comments about Ark Naturals Gentle Digest for Dogs & Cats:
I love this product! I have seen a huge improvement in my munchkins. Originally I purchased it because my kitten and 13 yr old cat were on antibiotics for a several weeks, but after reading more about it I began giving it to the entire furry family. My 8 yr old Boston used to have trouble eliminating, and my 14 yr old chihuahua was just the opposite. This product has helped all of their issues. Thank you!!!

Comments about Ark Naturals Gentle Digest for Dogs & Cats:
My dog loves this stuff. With the first use, it sparked her appetite very quickly. Now I just crush it in , along with her NuPet vitamins (just to make sure she receives the full dosage), and she's good to go. Like normal. She looks forward to eating and taking her vitamins. Before it took so long to administer. Even after administering items prescribe by doctor, she still wasn't all too happy about the taste, or enthused to eat. Thanks

Comments about Ark Naturals Gentle Digest for Dogs & Cats:
My 14 year old cat has had a lifelong problem with throwing up. Nothing really seems to work, but I am noticing a reduction in frequency since I started using this product on her. I plan to continue using it long-term. It's easy to use (I empty the capsule right into her wet food) and she doesn't seem to notice any taste difference. She can be very fussy, so if she could taste it and didn't like it, she sure wouldn't be eating it.

Comments about Ark Naturals Gentle Digest for Dogs & Cats:
My cat had a problem defecating for years. We had to have the vet manually clean him out twice. They gave us medicine that did not help. We spent $1,000 total on vet bills and this [$] bottle has my cat going almost normally again. Just open a capsule and mix in their food with fast results.

Description
Why should I use prebiotics and probiotics for my dog?;
When we hear the word "bacteria" a lot of us assume this is a harmful organism however certain bacteria are not only friendly but necessary for your pets health!
Bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifido-bacterium bifidum, and Lactobacillus bulgaricus are a few of the helpful microorganisms that can reside in your dog or cat's intestinal tract where they play an important role in defending the body against disease and illness. This friendly bacteria can sometimes get outnumbered due to an array of different circumstances such as:
- Use of prescription drugs such as antibiotics
- A less than adequate diet
- A compromised immune system
- Aging
- Chemical pollutants
- Stress
How do I know if my dog needs Gentle Digest?
Some of the most common symptoms of an upset digestive system are:
- Diarrhea
- Gas
- Constipation
- Skin problems
- Yeast overgrowth including ears
- Lethargy
- IBS ( Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
- IBD ( Inflammatory Bowel Disease)
Why should I choose Ark Naturals Gentle Digest?
- Gentle digest contains patented Lactobacillus bacteria sporogenes. These are microencapsulated lactobacillus spores which are resistant to heat and stomach acid. Sporogenes germinate within the optimum growth environment of the intestines to deliver a maximum concentration of viable (live) lactobacilli. Many probiotic products on the market for both humans and pets are useless because they contain virtually no live bacteria.
- Gentle digest also contains fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) from chicory root. FOS are small sugar polymers that serve as preferred foods for lactobacilli, hence encouraging their growth.
- Aids digestion and absorption of processed pet foods. Pets may also suffer digestive difficulties due to wheat, corn, soy, sugar, and starch commonly added to pet foods.
- Normal levels of lactobacilli in the intestines are known to enhance the absorption of essential trace elements including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and iron in both animals and humans.
Directions
- Under 25lbs = 1 Capsule per day
- Under 50lbs = 2 Capsules per day
- Over 50lbs = 3 Capsules per day
Cap tightly. Store out of direct sunlight in a cool dry place. No refrigeration required.
