Digestive Care

Vomiting, loose stools and a gassy dog are often a diet issue, not an illness. Support your pet's gut with highly digestible nutrition and targeted supplements designed for sensitive stomachs.

Know the signs

When to pay attention

GI symptoms to watch

  • – Vomiting (with or without blood or mucus)
  • – Diarrhoea or unusually soft stools
  • – Constipation or straining
  • – Excessive gas or flatulence
  • – Abdominal bloating or distension
  • – Hunched or "praying" posture (pain)

Common causes

  • – Switching food too quickly
  • – Dietary indiscretion ("garbage gut")
  • – Stress (kennelling, travel, change)
  • – Food intolerance or allergy
  • – Intestinal parasites (worms, giardia)
  • – Pancreatitis from high-fat food

What actually helps

Building a healthier gut

High Digestibility

Formulas with highly digestible protein put less strain on the gut. Easily digestible carbohydrates like rice are gentle on sensitive stomachs and help normalise stool quality and consistency.

Prebiotics & Probiotics

Prebiotics feed good gut bacteria. Probiotics add live beneficial bacteria directly. Together they stabilise gut microflora, reduce digestive upset and improve stool consistency over time.

Slow Food Transitions

Always transition food over 7–10 days — mix increasing amounts of the new food with the old. Sudden diet changes are one of the most common causes of GI upset in otherwise healthy pets.
