Customer Reviews: Average Rating:  Rating : - Really helped my Labrador
I have a 20-month-old chocolate labrador who has suffered from various digestive issues since we met her. Most notable were her bowel movements, which were almost always a normal movement, followed by what can only be described as butterscotch pudding (sorry if I ruin butterscotch pudding for anyone, but it's true!). These were the norm, with the latter half of her poo becoming runny at times. Even her doggy daycare provider mentioned it. I tried many things to try and make her bowel movements normal, including changing foods (gradually), adding sweet potato or pumpkin to her food for fiber, softening it with warm water, feeding her 'people food,' etc. Nothing helped.
One day my daycare provider had a jar of some probiotics on her counter. Since I had had wonderful success using probiotics and digestive enzymes for myself, I thought I would try it for my dog and purchased the Animal Essentials brand. It comes in powder form, and each morning I give my 72-lb lab a heaping 1/2 teaspoon full in her kibble. SInce I generally mix a spoonful of wet food in with the kibble, the powder all but disappears. But, I don't think it would matter. She licks her bowl clean even when I haven't stirred in the supplement, so I am guessing it has little or no taste.
I am happy and relieved to report that her bowel movements are about 95% normal after about 6 weeks of using the supplement. She does occasionally have a 'butterscotch pudding' episode but they are much firmer than previous movements, and rare. I would recommend that anyone who has a pet with digestive issues look into purchasing probiotics and digestive enzyme supplements. + See Full Customer Review |  |
