With nearly 40% of dogs in the UK experiencing digestive upsets monthly,* it’s important to ensure your dog has the right support. Some indicators of poor digestive health include loose stools, tummy discomfort, a reduced appetite, and excessive gas or bloating.
Every animal has lots of bacteria and microbiomes living in their gut, and beneficial or ‘good’ bacteria are a key element of a healthy digestive system. However, it’s important to remember that even though our pets are part of our families, their anatomy and digestive systems are different to ours.
Here are a few ways you can support your dog’s digestive system…
1. Pay attention to their food – A balanced diet can help them maintain their gut health and ideal weight.
2. Stick to a routine – A good mealtime routine can help your dog’s body prepare for food, and it’s easier to spot a loss of appetite, which is often a sign that your dog isn’t feeling well.
3. Give your dog a digestive supplement – Look for digestive supplements containing high-quality ingredients like prebiotics, probiotics, and fibre.
YuMOVE Digestive Care is a range of supplements designed to support your pet’s digestive system. It contains science-backed ingredients, like pre and probiotics, to help keep your pet’s tummy in tip-top shape.
For daily digestive support to help maintain gut health, we recommend YuMOVE Digestive Care Pre & Probiotic. It’s a daily tablet supplement that contains YuMOVE’s unique ActivBio™ prebiotic complex and probiotics to top up good bacteria, block bad bacteria and support the natural balance of the canine digestive system.
If your dog frequently scoots or needs support with their anal glands, we recommend YuMOVE Digestive Care Probiotic & Fibre – a powder supplement designed to support the natural emptying of anal glands and aid stool consistency. This high-in-fibre formula, when used daily, can help reduce scooting and licking associated with anal glands. Probiotic & Fibre is made from natural ingredients and is designed to support healthy anal glands, gut health, and is grain and wheat free.**
When your dog experiences a ‘poodicament’ – the runny reality of loose stools, carpet-staining scooting or a last-minute poo bag panic – we recommend NEW YuMOVE Digestive Care Rapid. It’s a paste designed with fast-acting ingredients to help firm sudden loose stools in dogs and cats. It’s packed with gut-supporting, natural ingredients, including Pectin and pre and probiotics, to help firm stools, support recovery after digestive upset, and soothe the gut lining.
If you’re considering giving your dog a digestive supplement, talk to your vet to see if it would suit them.
