Ark Naturals Gentle Digest Capsules, Vet Recommended Prebiotics and Probiotics to Support Intestinal Balance and Immune System Health in Dogs and Cats, Natural Ingredients, 60 Count

We have a dog with a very sensitive stomach, a Westie. I have been giving him one of these a day along with several other things trying to make sure his stomach stays calm. It seems that since he’s been taking this one little towel in a day knock on wood his stomach has been much better. Very pleased!

My dog is picky with his food and does better with capsules in peanut butter rather than chewable medications. He has struggled with elevated liver enzymes since he was a puppy, and has had to be coaxed to eat; typical of liver shunts that sometimes occur in his breed (Havanese).I’m trying to get/keep his enzymes down, so in addition to changing his food, I give him one of these every morning. Coupled with his food and this medicine, I can tell he feels better and his liver enzymes are staying at a much more manageable level. I am impressed with the results and plan to keep using them.Update: It’s been a couple of months now since my dog started taking these supplements regularly along with his liver-support food, and he’s been doing consistently better with this regimen. Sometimes after eating things that aren’t part of his regular diet, he clearly doesn’t feel well and also needs Sam-e. On those days, the Sam-e coupled with this milk thistle seem to help him feel more like eating within a few hours. For the most part though, his liver support food and this milk thistle seem to keep him pretty well regulated. I’m so grateful there are herbal supplements like this out there that help to support my dog’s general liver health.

Joey loves em! No need to say more!!!

They're fine, but for a few extra dollars you can get a great 10-in-1 multi chew that helps with more than just digestion. Great to have as a backup or if your fur baby doesn't need anything extra for skin, coat, etc.

After two days of feeding my dog a couple of these treats a day, he is eating less grass.

Always tough (maybe impossible?) to measure, but we have a dog that has had immune system issues since we adopted him including mites (Demodectic Mange), skin problems and other ailments where his immune system had issues fighting them off. I personally have had experience with clear results using probiotics and enzymes so it was a no-brainer to try these out. It takes time and you never specifically know if these had a positive effect -- but I lean towards being 95-100% confident that they have had a positive effect. Ironically, our dog had a stomach bug over the last week or so and he ended up fighting it off, which sounds like no big deal -- but it is. Couple notes that many people are aware of, but unfortunately, many people are not:1. Antibiotics kill "good" (beneficial) bacteria along with the bacteria that cause illnesses. They are overprescribed by doctors to humans (seriously overprescribed) and I've seen the same with pets. A decrease in beneficial bacteria may lead to digestive problems and antibiotics don't have any effect on viruses, other than possibly empowering them as they decrease our immune systems.2. Probiotics shouldn't be started, stopped and restarted, etc. -- according to the research I have read. Once stopped, they lose their effectiveness and advantages are lost. That being said, as with any supplement, start off small even with a larger animal and go slowly -- then be consistent.Be safe, careful and take your time. Also, the advantages could take weeks/months to be seen -- and this product is affordable. We actually open the capsules and dump into the food so you don't need to deal with giving your pet a pill (never fun). Giving probiotics with food can limit the effectiveness, but our results with our dog have been solid, nonetheless. Once you have had a pet with immune system issues, you appreciate any and all improvements.

Affordable and easy way to keep your pets stool regulated and firm. I previously was feeding my dogs, Sophie and Rufus, dry prescription kibble and gave each one capsule in a pill pocket just prior to feeding on a daily basis (you need to pay attention to the dosage by the dogs weight and size) and it had worked wonders. One of my pets, Sophie, had issues with diarrhea on a constant basis (she had Cushings then Addison's) and Gentle Digest worked wonders within a couple of days with no diarrhea. As my dogs became older and required a softer diet, I changed to prescription wet (canned) food and initially opened the capsules and dispensed the contents and mixed to make sure they ate it. It worked for Sophie as she would eat anything but Rufus still needed the pill pocket as he was a finicky eater. Now that Sophie has passed and Rufus is at the age of 15 years, he is mainly on a Vet approved canned diet mixed with a tiny bit of dry kibble (Science Diet Youthful Vitality), and I just add the entire enclosed capsule to his food and stir to hide the capsule and he eats everything. I no longer have the need for Pill Pockets and Rufus turned his nose away from them anyway. His stools are formed and he is regular. We have never experienced any gassiness in either dogs with this. I highly recommend this product. It has been in our dogs daily regimen for more than 5 years now and will continue to be.

Great

These chews for my little Maltese dog have helped immensely to keep him fit. Thank you

I have had him on these Prebiotics for about two weeks now and he enjoys taking them. There has only been a couple of times that for some reason they didn't work on his stools, not sure why. Generally they are keeping his stools solid and his poops seems to be a little smaller which means he is getting more of his nourtrition out of his food. As long as he is doing better that is all that counts and at least with these ones you get enough for 40 days instead of some that only last a couple of weeks at three a day. I wish they would go on sale so I could stock up as I do find them a little pricey but until they do I will continue to purchase them.

My cat doesnt like it.

I have been giving these to my cats & they both like them. One isn't enough (they think they are treats).
