Everyone knows that digestion is an important bodily function, but have you ever stopped to consider whether your dog’s digestive system is functioning at its best? Every animal needs a balanced gut to ensure food is broken down, nutrients are absorbed, energy is stored, and waste is excreted as needed. There are plenty of probiotics out there to benefit humans’ digestive tracts, but did you know your pup can also benefit from a probiotic assist?
The high temperatures required to create large quantities of pet foods can kill the helpful enzymes that are necessary for overall health and wellness. This can cause internal problems over time, so Healers PetCare created chicken-flavored, veterinary-strength Digestive Health Enzymes Chews to combat such issues. Our chews are packed full of ingredients that improve digestion, optimize your pup’s immune system, and enhance his or her overall health.
Read on to learn more about this important supplement and how it could benefit your animal companions.
What’s in our digestive chews, and why are the ingredients important?
When we created our digestive chews, we did so with your pup’s health and well-being in mind. Whether yours needs a general digestive boost or is suffering from an upset stomach, our Digestive Health Enzymes Chews have something to help him or her feel better in no time. They are custom formulated with proteolytic enzymes to support faster upset stomach recovery times, and include just the right combination of ingredients to ease digestion and encourage a balanced digestive tract.
Best of all, dogs of all sizes and ages can benefit from digestive enzyme supplements. We recommend one chew per day for dogs over 12 weeks in age, given between meals to achieve best results.
Curious about what we put in our Digestive Health Enzymes Chews? Here’s a list of ingredients and why each is so important:
Protease 300000 — an enzyme that eases the digestive process, regulates hormones, boosts immune functions, and reduces inflammation
Protesase — an enzyme that increases the rate of proteolysis, which is the process of breaking down and using ingested proteins
Lipase — an enzyme that increases the speed of the process involved in breaking down, transporting, and using ingested fats
Ganaden BC30 — produces lactic acid, which lowers intestinal pH and makes it less hospitable for bad bacteria. It also delivers live cells 10 times more effectively than common probiotic yogurt.
Alfalfa — an herb commonly used to increase urine flow for detoxification, treat upset stomachs, or as a source of calcium, iron, phosphorous, potassium, and vitamins A, C, E, and K4
Beef liver — rich in vitamin A, which is necessary for healthy skin, eyes, and immune system function. It is also a great natural source of iron.
Dextrose — a simple sugar animals need as a source of energy or for organ function
Dicalcium — a source of calcium and phosphorous
Flaxseed — helps fight skin irritants as well as boost cardiovascular health, energy levels, dental health, and digestion. It also offers both anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties.
Garlic — aids in treating upset stomachs, boosting immunity, reducing blood pressure, lowering cholesterol, and is a source of manganese, selenium, fiber, calcium, copper, phosphorous, iron, and vitamins B1, B6, and C
Ginger — root used to treat upset stomach and nausea. It also acts as a pain reliever, and includes properties to lower inflammation, infection, blood pressure, cancer, and indigestion.
Guar gum — a thickening and stabilizing agent to help the chew keep its shape
Licorice — root that helps to soothe upset stomach and reduce stress
Magnesium stearate — prevents ingredients from sticking together in medicines and supplements, thereby promoting better absorption and usage of each
Optimizer base — helps chew maintain its integrity
Parsley — herb that aids in relieving cramping, bloating, indigestion, and nausea. It also acts as a pain reliever and has been known to strength immune functioning.
Peppermint — a plant used to treat gastrointestinal distresses like irritable bowel syndrome, nausea, and pain. It contains properties that also help in reducing dental plaque, inflammation, itchy skin, infection, and more.
Silica — called a “beauty mineral” because it is key to hair and nail growth as well as boosting skin health
Stearic acid — a stabilizer used to help the chew keep its form
Wheatgrass — a grass known to help reduce stomach issues through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It is also a good source of nutrients like amino acids, calcium, iron, magnesium, and vitamins A, C, and E.
White whey — source of protein to help your pup’s body use all the nutrients in the chew and promote overall health and wellness
Why use Healers’ Digestive Health Enzymes
When you give your pup a supplement, you want to trust one that is veterinarian-formulated and packed full of ingredients selected to do exactly what they need to do.

Our digestive enzymes also promote normal body weight, fight bad bacteria growth, promote normal cell generation, reduce minor food sensitivities, lessen skin irritation, and support healthy skin teeth and gums, among other perks.
