To help with dogs digestion

Give,as dog gets colitis, helps with this

This is such a great product and has saved my precious kitty from many digestive issues. As a long haired cat, he was constantly throwing up hairballs at least 3-4 times a week, and getting worse as he ages (he is 8) and with nothing else wrong with his health and my regularly brushing him, he was still hacking up and struggling with hairballs, vomiting more with time. His diet consists of quality food, and some dehydrated raw foods from the pet store, never any meat by-products, so the only thing that appeared to be problematic for him is his hairball hacking... anyway, long story short, I started giving him these about 4 months ago and like a MIRACLE, he has not thrown up once since!!! I am so happy and happy for him!! I started giving him one a day as suggested but the last 2 months have cut back to 3-4 times a week and that is still doing the job perfectly! He seems happier too and has so much more vitality, not to mention a healthier digestion performance! I may try cutting back to 2-3 times a week to see how that goes since he is doing so well... This product is wonderful!

This was recommended by a former pet store employee. I was talking to her about the diarrhea that my dog was having. She told me this would work within a day...and I must admit, she was right. I have 3 dogs, 1 of which is always having normal stools, the second has intermittent diarrhea, and the third always has an issue with soft/loose stools. I initially tried it on my 2 and it cleared up the diarrhea with the one immediately. The other one who always had an issue with intermittent loose/watery stools, I had her on another regimen which over time gave her stools form, but it was rather costly and she didn't always like eating it (herbal regimen). This, however, is very easy for me to give to her as she only requires one capsule of which I open into her bowl and mix with canned dog food then hand feed to make sure she eats it, and she eats it as if it were a treat. I can then feed her the normal dry kibble in her bowl afterwards. I am continuing this on a daily regiment with my one dog. I recommend it. The price is very reasonable and it is easily dispensed. I am not certain, but I guess you could also just feed the entire capsule to your dog, but I prefer opening it so I know it will work quickly.Update: August 2013. I am now feeding 1 capsule daily to both of my dogs who had loose stool issues. Once their stools were firm (within a couple of days of opening capsule and adding to wet food), I am now dispensing the entire capsule and everything is fine. I have one very finicky senior gal so she will only take her meds with peanut butter (she can't spit it out as I scoop it on the roof of her mouth). Pill pockets work just as well with my other pooch, but since I have gone the route of peanut butter with one, they all get the peanut butter with pills...and it's much cheaper! I still buy the 3-packs of these capsules from Amazon.com when my supply is getting low, but only using 1 capsule daily per dog, it takes a few months to empty 3 bottles. I still highly recommend this product and am very pleased with it. I have even told my veterinarian about it and she is impressed as well.

他サイトで紹介されていたので興味を持って猫用に購入。便通への効果は普通にあるように思います。ただ、猫はこのカプセルのままでは食べないので、カプセルを開けてドライフードに振りかけることになります。すると、味はしないけれどにおいが多少漢方系なので、そこがネックになり、2匹のうち1匹（若干食が細い猫です）は餌への食いつきが落ちてしまいました。その辺りを気にしない猫なら、1日1回1カプセルで済んで、手間も経済的にも楽なんですけどね…。

Stopped my dog from tooting up a storm !Which is a very good healthy sign because too much gas is a sign of undigested food.Don't even have to do it every day maybe couple days a week ,for my dog anyways.

I'm a big believer in probiotics. These products are meant to replenish your intestinal bacteria after a stint with antibiotics, or just to help keep it in tip-top shape. The idea has been around for centuries, but it's only been the last few decades that science understands why those who eat natural products like yogurt seem to be a bit healthier than others.Did you know that most of the immune system is in the gut? Makes sense when you think about it. When we eat, there are billions of bacteria, fungus, and viruses on our food. (Viruses aren't a big problem, since they don't use food as a substrate; they look for living tissue to thrive in.) The stomach with its high acidity helps kill most bacteria and fungus, but some survive and get to the small and large intestine, where they can cause disease that is commonly called food poisoning. Part of the problem is when there is missing 'good' bacteria that has been killed off or dies for some reason. This niche may be filled by the bad bugs, leading to an unbalanced fauna in the gut.Pets have the same problem as we do. And you know what a dog will eat; just about anything! I find that regular use of a probiotic will help keep diarrhea under control, and makes the pet feel better. Cats, too, can have digestive problems, and this type of product will probably help.The Gentle Digest seems to work well, and it reasonably easy to administer. Recommended.
