Glacier Peak Holistics Pawgest Digestive Aid

High Potency Digestive Enzymes for dogs and cats

Paw-Gest Digestive Enzymes for Dogs & Cats is specially formulated to address the specific needs of our furry friends. Enzymes aid in digestion, assimilation, and absorption, while unlocking potential energy from food by properly putting them into a form easily recognizable by the body.  This typically reduces digestive distress such as dog diarrhea, gas, vomiting, & cat hair balls as well as discouraging the over-growth of intestinal yeast infections in dogs and cats.

If you feed kibble, moisten with a bit of water or broth, add the powdered enzymes and stir. If you feed raw or canned, just add the powder to wet food and stir.  Do Not Feed Dry (because we wouldn't want your pet to inhale the powder, moisten slightly)

Up to 20lbs   = 1/8 tsp
21lbs - 50lbs =1/4 tsp
51lbs - 75lbs =1/2 tsp
Over 75lbs     = 3/4 tsp

Digestive enzymes are beneficial when feeding kibble or foods with starchy root vegetables due to the absence of the digestive enzyme amylase in the carnivore diet.  The lack of Amylase can sets the stage for yeast overgrowth in the intestinal system causing chronic ear and skin issues.  Paw-Gest is designed to retain its potency for up to 2 years when the jar is kept tightly closed and stored in a cool, dry, dark place.

Available in 2oz and 5oz sizes.

2oz size = Approximately 80, 1/4 tsp servings

5oz size = Approximately 200, 1/4 tsp servings

PREBIOTICS VS. PROBIOTICS

Probiotics are naturally occurring organisms that live within the intestines and produce essential nutrients bodies need to function. Every animal has his or her own unique, preferred strain of these beneficial microbes.

Probiotic supplements attempt to “gut load” pets with millions of living bacteria. Most of these bacteria will die before they reach the intestines, rendering them ineffective. The few microbes that do reach the gut are NOT our pets’ native strains. This forces the body to shift its intestinal flora to an unnatural makeup.

Prebiotics, on the other hand, are an ideal food source for your pet’s native, preferred strain of probiotics. Because they are not living, there is no loss during consumption. This targeted feeding doubles the amount of good bacteria in the system every 20 minutes until it reaches a natural, healthy level.
