More About Canine Enteric System Support

A healthy digestive tract is critical to overall health and well-being. In addition to breakdown and absorption of nutrients, digestive health can also have a significant impact on other body systems (immune system, liver, bone marrow, or adrenal glands).

Canine Enteric Support contains a variety of functional foods, both plant and animal, that "feed" the various components of the digestive system to:

  • Provide general digestive system support*
  • Support the ability of intestinal cells to function, regenerate, and respond to daily metabolic and immune challenges*

Indications for Use: 

  • General enteric support
  • Patients with increased metabolic demand
  • Hepatic patients in need of additional enteric support

How to Administer

Dose Schedule:Based on body weight, the canine patient should receive the canine formula powder according to the following recommendations, or as otherwise directed.

Special Information:

A 1/8 tsp scoop is included with the small canine powder bottles, and a 1/2 tsp scoop is included with the large canine powder bottles.

Since these supplements are made from super foods, they are very "rich". This allows us to use small doses, but sometimes when adding a brand new savory food pets can experience a soft stool for 12-24 hours. This situation balances itself but I have found that using a gradual taper greatly reduces the chance of loose stool.

 Caution:This product is processed in a facility that manufactures other products containing soy, milk, egg, wheat, peanut, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish.

Please consult the actual product label for the most accurate product information.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

What our patients say:

This was prescribed by a homeopathic vet to help alleviate symptoms associated with my dog's gastritis. This supplement and a raw diet along with Vitamin C powder have helped tremendously. She throws up occasionally now (once or twice every 2-3 months) whereas before she was vomiting multiple times per week.

My fantastic 4 yo Lab mix has had chronic diarrhea/soft stools since I rescued her 2 1/2 yrs ago. This product combined with a dailey dose of Tylan powder controls about 90% of her symptoms. She is as happy and active as a normal dog. If you have a dog with similar symptoms, please discuss this product with your vet.

My 14 year old papillion girl has a chronic digestive problem with colistridium colitis sometimes resulting in vomiting blood and bloody diarrhea. When I'm consistent administering enteric support along with a good probiotic she has solid stools, a great appetite and is a happy pappy. There's nothing I wouldn't do for my girl. This product was recommended by my holistic vet and I'll use it always.

Good results from using this product. Had a dog that would get intermittent diarrhea, with no apparent cause, stress or otherwise. This product has stopped all - haven't had a loose stool in over 6 months, not once, The nice thing is, also, that once her GI tract was healthy, I was able to discontinue use. I believe that is what these products are designed for.

My dog has numerous allergies, so I can not use many of the standard supplements, but she does well on this one. Dog has a sensitive stomach, so we give her this (as well as Standard Process Canine Whole Body Support) and her system stays in balance and she looks great.

Questions & Answers

What are the side effects of Canine Enteric Support?

Since these nutritional supplements are made from food, there is little to no risk of side effects. The only side effect I’ve ever seen is diarrhea if the pet gets a gigantic dose. For example, if a pet eats a whole bottle. If I had a dollar for every time one of my pets ate a whole bottle, I’d have a pretty full piggy bank. Since pets love these products so much, we recommend keeping them in a cabinet or someplace that your pet cannot get to.

How much Canine Enteric Support should my dog take?
  • 1-10 lbs 1/8 teaspoon once per day
  • 11-20 lbs 1/8 teaspoon twice per day
  • 21-40 lbs ¼ teaspoon twice per day
  • 41-60 lbs ½ teaspoon twice per day
