IBD support for dogs
An unhealthy gut can have a far-reaching impact on your furry friend’s immune system.
Taking care of your beloved pet’s digestive health involves more than just preventing the dreaded ‘cat or dog upset tummy.’ In reality, an unhealthy gut can have a far-reaching impact on your furry friend’s immune system. This all stems from the mucous lining of your kitty or pup’s intestines, where essential microbiota work tirelessly to ward off infections, maintain intestinal balance, and prevent inflammation.
Recognizing the profound impact of your pet’s digestive health on their overall health, we want to help you make well-informed nutritional choices for them. It all begins with distinguishing between ingredients that can enrich your pet’s quality of life and those that might occasionally trigger digestive discomfort in their delicate stomachs.
Pet’s Sensitive Stomach: Choosing the Right Ingredients
When it comes to fostering your pet’s digestive health, you’ve likely heard of the dynamic duo – probiotics and prebiotics! But what sets them apart, and how can they work their magic on your pet’s gastrointestinal well-being?
Probiotics are essentially the friendly bacteria your pet’s gut needs. They play a vital role in balancing the gut microbiome, potentially reducing the risk of dog upset tummy and other digestive discomforts. On the other hand, prebiotics are like nutrition boosters, providing essential fiber and nutrients to nourish those beneficial bacteria. Look for pet foods or supplements explicitly formulated with these ingredients for that extra gut-loving touch.
Now you know what to look for in your pet’s food, but what ingredients should you steer clear of? Consider these aspects when building your little one’s diet:
- Opt for pet foods that are free from artificial additives and preservatives.
- Choose leaner protein sources and monitor the fat content in your pet’s diet.
- Steer clear of bones and fatty meat scraps, as these can exacerbate digestive issues.
- Avoid foods high in sugar, as they can lead to cat and dog upset tummy.
- Dairy products can be problematic because many pets are lactose intolerant.
If your little one’s tummy reacts badly to any of these ingredients, consult your veterinarian before significantly changing your pet’s diet or introducing new supplements. They can provide guidance tailored to your pet’s specific needs and health condition.
Naturally Addressing Cat & Dog Upset Tummy
One easy way to ensure you avoid these concerns and use only beneficial ingredients for your little one’s tummy is by preparing your furry friend’s food at home. This more natural approach to their diet minimizes the risk of irritants and provides the flexibility to introduce probiotics and prebiotics and make necessary adjustments seamlessly.
Enhancing your pet’s diet with probiotics and prebiotics can be as simple as incorporating ingredients like plain, unsweetened yogurt or kefir with live cultures. We’re confident your beloved cat or dog will relish this flavorful and nutritious treat. Should you need assistance determining the right quantities and ingredients, contact me here for a personalized nutritional plan!
In addition to a balanced diet, you can promote a healthy GI system with nutritional supplements vet-formulated to support digestive health, like NHV TumFlora and NHV Yucca. TumFlora was designed with a blend of herbs that can help improve intestinal flora, promote overall gut health, and relieve inflammation of the digestive tract. Yucca, on the other hand, is an herbal extract with a single ingredient known for several benefits, including digestive support.
Now, you might be wondering, does NHV have any natural probiotics and prebiotics? We’re thrilled to share that NHV Probiotic + Prebiotic is now available to order! With seven probiotic strains, prebiotics, and pumpkin & carrot powder, this supplement is designed to nurture your pet’s gut, support their immune system, and overall well-being!

Like humans, Inflammatory or Irritable Bowel Disease, also known as IBD, is a common gastrointestinal problem in dogs. When your furbaby has IBD, inflammatory cells within their body begin to invade the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The stomach, small intestine, and large intestine are all part of the GI tract. Once inflammatory cells start to take over the GI tract, a thickening of the intestinal wall can occur, upsetting daily functions like absorption and the movement of food (peristalsis). There is no clear cause for IBD in dogs, but studies show that genetic and external factors can predispose your pet to have IBD. Some additional contributing factors may be chronic irritation of the intestines caused by constant vomiting and diarrhea, food allergies, parasites, and autoimmune disorders.
How TumFlora Supports GI Tract Health
TumFlora is a natural herbal vet formulation designed to help improve intestinal flora. In addition to helping improve intestinal flora, and helping with inflammation of the digestive tract, TumFlora contains herbs that are highly nutritious like slippery elm to further help your furbaby heal. Slippery elm is high in vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, B complex, C, K, calcium, magnesium and sodium. The gentle defense against microorganisms and anti-fungal properties of herbs like oregon grape aid the body to fight off infections. Finally, herbs like fennel and chamomile help to relieve stomach cramps and indigestion and help with overall discomfort.
This soothing liquid formulation is easy to administer and helps maintain a healthy gut. In addition to helping IBD in dogs, TumFlora is also useful for pets suffering from food allergies, gastrointestinal ulcers and bacterial, gut infections. TumFlora is also a great addition to your pet’s daily regimen as a proactive approach for a healthy gut.
Symptoms of IBD in dogs
Dogs will occasionally vomit or have diarrhea because something doesn’t sit right with their tummies, or maybe they ate too much or too little that day. But if your furkiddo begins to vomit and their poops are runny on a regular basis then it could be IBD. Keep your eye out for these additional symptoms:
- Weight loss
- Loss of appetite
- Straining to defecate
- Lethargy
Typically your vet will do a full-body exam, check your dog’s history, conduct a blood panel, take a stool sample, and possibly opt for x-rays and/or an ultrasound. IBD in dogs can be tough to diagnose because your vet will have to check for a variety of conditions as well as vital organ functions before they can confirm diagnosis. Other health conditions that have similar symptoms to IBD are GI parasites, kidney or liver disease, pancreatitis, cancer, or foreign substances and objects in the intestines. To confirm IBD, your vet may eventually conduct a biopsy on your pup's stomach and/or intestinal tract.
Additional Holistic Support for Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Dogs
A combination of vet-prescribed medication and nutritional therapy is often recommended to alleviate symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease. If your pet is prone to inflammatory bowel disease in dogs, changing your dog’s diet to a more gut-friendly one is recommended.

How NHV Supplements Relieve Diarrhea and Irritable Bowel Disease in Pets
Pets may occasionally experience diarrhea or an upset tummy because maybe they ate too quickly, not enough, or something didn't quite sit right. But consistent runny poos are an alarm bell that something is going on with their digestive health.
TumFlora : contains ingredients like chamomile, licorice root, and ashwagandha, which have been used for centuries to help ease indigestion, muscle cramping and inflammation in the intestinal tract. This balanced IBD pet supplement also contains herbs like Indian gooseberry and fennel seed which may help reduce nausea and encourage healthy movement through the bowels. TumFlora also helps naturally balance intestinal gut flora and can be used alongside probiotics for dogs or cats.
Plantaeris: contains a blend of herbs that work gently and quickly to help alleviate diarrhea and loose stools. Herbs like barberry and bayberry contain soothing properties to help control diarrhea-causing bacteria and control infection. This blend is well-balanced with ingredients like myrrh, and thyme, which may help to expel gas and may promote healing and relief for overall digestive discomfort.
Holistic Support For your Pet’s GI Tract Health
When your furkiddo has IBD, inflammatory cells invade the gastrointestinal tract of your pet, which encompasses the stomach, small, and large intestine. Once inflammatory cells start taking over the GI tract, the intestinal wall may thicken over time and disrupt the absorption and movement of food. It’s unclear what may cause IBD in dogs, cats or other pets, but some potential causes are food allergies, parasites, and autoimmune conditions. A fairly common symptom of IBD in dogs and cats is diarrhea because the GI tract is damaged, so food may not be fully digested or eliminated. If we are to use a simple analogy, pets with inflammatory bowel disease can have diarrhea that may range from a soft-serve ice cream consistency to pretty much like clear water.
Having a healthy pet means the world to us at NHV.

Discomfort and Appetite Support for Cats
Yucca is used in cat food as well as food for other animals around the world. Its root is a highly nutritious herb that’s rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese, protein, niacin, and phosphorus.
How Yucca Supports Cats
Yucca contains two very beneficial compounds: sarsasapogenin and smilagenin. These two compounds work on the mucous membranes of the small intestine. These compounds help with the penetration and absorption of minerals and vitamins. Sarsasapogenin and smilagenin are known as steroidal saponins (phytosterols) which act as precursors to corticosteroids produced naturally by the body.
Steroidal saponins support the immune function of the body while stimulating and supporting the production of its own corticosteroids and corticosteroid–related hormones. Due to this action, studies conducted on Yucca have shown that it may be beneficial and effective for discomfort relief and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis. Yucca for cats may also be a natural appetite stimulant and may also help reduce the production of urease, which contributes to the unpleasant odors of urine and feces in some cats.

Description
Discomfort and Appetite Support for Cats
Yucca is used in cat food as well as food for other animals around the world. Its root is a highly nutritious herb that’s rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese, protein, niacin, and phosphorus.
How Yucca Supports Cats
Yucca contains two very beneficial compounds: sarsasapogenin and smilagenin. These two compounds work on the mucous membranes of the small intestine. These compounds help with the penetration and absorption of minerals and vitamins. Sarsasapogenin and smilagenin are known as steroidal saponins (phytosterols) which act as precursors to corticosteroids produced naturally by the body.
Steroidal saponins support the immune function of the body while stimulating and supporting the production of its own corticosteroids and corticosteroid–related hormones. Due to this action, studies conducted on Yucca have shown that it may be beneficial and effective for discomfort relief and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis. Yucca for cats may also be a natural appetite stimulant and may also help reduce the production of urease, which contributes to the unpleasant odors of urine and feces in some cats.
