NUTRITION
It All Starts with Their Food
Choosing food with ingredients that support a healthy digestion and stool is important for your dog’s and cat's digestive and overall health.
Ingredients Matter
When looking for dog and cat food that supports digestion, look for ingredients like…
- Beet Pulp
- Fructooligosaccharides (FOS)
- Natural Fibre
An important characteristic of fibre is its fermentability, or how well it can be broken down by the bacteria that normally reside in the dog's or cat’s intestine. This breakdown of dietary fibre produces short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that provide energy to the cells lining the intestines. Different types of fibre vary in fermentability.
Fibre sources used in pet foods include cellulose, which is poorly fermentable; beet pulp, which is moderately fermentable; and gums and pectin, which can be highly fermentable.
Research has shown that moderately fermentable, prebiotic fibre, such as beet pulp, provides the benefits of energy for the intestinal lining, increased nutrient absorption, and supports optimal poop consistency, while limiting excessive gas or bloating.

COMMON SYMPTOMS – DOG ONLY
(CAT is coming soon)
Diarrhea and constipation can have a variety of causes, including infections, changes in diet, or can be signs of a serious illness. If you are noticing symptoms in your dog, it’s important to see a vet to rule out underlying causes and prevent dehydration and nutrient loss.
Constipation is common in dogs, but it can lead to more troubling conditions if left untreated. Get the information you need about canine constipation to help support your dog’s digestive health.
Common Causes of Vomiting
Vomiting can be caused by intestinal upset, such as eating irritating materials or intestinal parasites. However, it can also be a symptom of a more serious illness. Vomiting can lead to serious complications if treatment is not started early enough to prevent dehydration and nutrient loss.
