Probiotic for Gut Health
Oh no, why does my pet’s litter box situation seem…off? Our furriends can’t exactly tell us when their tummy isn’t feeling right. But luckily, they do leave us with some clues: their poop! While scooping duty might not be glamorous, irregular stools, whether diarrhea (loose, watery stools) or constipation (hard, dry stools), can give you valuable insights into their health.
There are two forms of irregular stool – diarrhea and constipation – that are very common in dogs and cats.
Diarrhea in dogs and cats
Diarrhea occurs when fecal material moves rapidly through the intestines, leading to reduced absorption of water, nutrients, and electrolytes.
Common diarrhea causes:
- Diet Changes: Did you switch their food recently? Did they sneak a bite of your takeout?
- Infectious Agents: Microscopic invaders like bacteria, viruses, and parasites can disrupt the digestive system, leading to diarrhea. This is a particular concern for unvaccinated puppies and kittens or those with compromised immune systems.
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): This chronic condition involves inflammation in the intestines. Diarrhea is a common symptom, alongside vomiting, weight loss, and abdominal discomfort.
- Stress-Induced Distress: Believe it or not, stress can manifest as diarrhea in some furkiddos. Travel or other changes in routine can take a toll on their digestive system.
Constipation in dogs and cats
Constipation is characterized by infrequent or difficult passage of stool or feces and is often a temporary condition. Pups and kitties experiencing constipation may exhibit signs of straining or discomfort when trying to defecate.
Common constipation causes:
- Low Fiber Intake: Fiber plays a crucial role in promoting regular bowel movements. A diet deficient in fiber, particularly common in commercially-prepared pet foods with high filler content, can make it difficult for your little one to eliminate waste effectively.
- Swallowed Something Strange: For example, when furkids with long hair overgroom or accidentally ingest foreign objects — they can cause blockages.
- Medication: Drugs like antihistamines may have the side effect of constipation.,
- Underlying Medical Conditions: Constipation can also be a symptom of other health problems like kidney disease, hypothyroidism, or neurological disorders (e.g., nerve damage).
Other forms of irregular stools in pets
Beyond the common issues of diarrhea and constipation, there are other signs in your pet’s stool that might indicate digestive problems.
Here are some other forms of irregular stools to watch out for:
- Excessive Mucus: If you notice a large amount of mucus in your furkid’s poop, it could indicate a more serious concern like IBD or a parasite infection.
- Tarry (Black) Stools: Black poop can be a sign of internal bleeding in the upper digestive tract. This is a medical emergency and requires immediate veterinary attention.
- Bright Red Stools: Fresh blood coating the poop, typically red in color, can indicate bleeding in the lower intestines or rectum. This could be caused by issues like anal gland problems, colitis, or polyps.
- Pale or Clay-Colored Stools: This color can indicate liver problems that are affecting bile production. Bile is responsible for giving stool its normal brown color.
- Greasy Stools: Shiny poop that’s covered by a greasy film can be a sign of maldigestion, a condition where the body struggles to absorb nutrients from food. This could be due to pancreatic insufficiency or other digestive disorders.
When to see the vet when noticing irregular stools in pets?
If your little one’s irregular stools persist for more than a day or two, or are accompanied by other signs like vomiting, consult your veterinarian immediately. Early diagnosis and treatment can make a big difference in their recovery!
How to ensure healthy poops and a happy gut?
As you may have already learned, our furry friends’ poops are very indicative of their digestive health. If they’re experiencing constipation, diarrhea, or other irregularities, it might be time to re-evaluate your gut health.
Diet
Remember: If your little one is straining to defecate and hasn’t pooped in more than a day or two, seek veterinary attention.
What your pet eats is very important when restoring their digestive health. For example, in cases of constipation, we would recommend adjusting the fiber content and quality. High-fiber diets can be beneficial for some pets, while others may respond better to low-fiber diets, depending on the root cause. Increasing water intake by switching to canned food may also be suggested.
As every furkiddo has unique needs, they require different meal plans to address their conditions. Dr. Amanda can help your little one create a tailored nutritional plan to target their health issues!
You may also consider adding probiotic foods (e.g., yogurt, kefir) into your pet’s meal. They can help introduce good bacteria to their gut microbiome.
NHV Herbal Supplements
Apart from adding probiotic foods to their diet, NHV Probiotic + Prebiotic can also be very beneficial! It has of 7 strains of high-quality probiotics, with each scoop containing 5 Billion CFU (Colony Forming Units – the active good bacteria).

Hydration
Water, WATER Everywhere! Drinking plenty of water throughout the day helps soften stool and keeps things flowing smoothly.
Move Your Body
Regular exercise is just as important for pets as it is for us. Daily walks, playtime, or interactive games can help stimulate the digestive system and promote stool regularity!
By incorporating these tips and monitoring your pet’s stools, you can play a proactive role in safeguarding their gut health and overall well-being. Remember, a happy gut leads to a happy and healthy pet! If you have any questions about irregular stools in pets, feel free to connect with us below!

Addressing potential concerns before they become a problem is always a good idea. As pet parents, the wellness of our sweet furkids is of the highest importance. Even when they don’t have any current health concerns, it's natural for us to seek proactive measures to maintain their optimal health. NHV supplements, like our Probiotics + Prebiotics for cats, may just be what you need.
How NHV Prebiotics + Probiotics Helps Support Cats
This formula, containing 7 shelf-stable, soil-based, spore-forming probiotics, helps keep your kitty’s digestive system in tip-top shape. The probiotic strains include Bacillus coagulans LBSC, Bacillus subtilis PLSSC, Bacillus clausii 088AE, Lactobacillus acidophilus 033AE, Lactobacillus plantarum 022AE, Lactobacillus casei 118AE, and Saccharomyces boulardii SBSC.
Probiotics are formed by “good” bacteria and are well-known for improving digestive and cat gut health. These natural ingredients also help other aspects of your pet’s body work well and restore balance.
Promoting healthy gastrointestinal health in cats
The live microorganisms, like bacteria and yeast, in probiotics can potentially restore gut microbiota, the natural microorganisms in a healthy gut. These beneficial bacteria are crucial in supporting the digestive tract and addressing digestive problems (e.g., IBS, diarrhea, constipation). Our vet added 7 strains of probiotics (5 Billion CFU per scoop) to help optimize gut health in different ways.
Supporting immune health
Their ability to add good bacteria to the pet’s body may help improve the immune system. These bacteria act as a defense mechanism against pathogens, potentially preventing the onset of significant diseases.
Acting as a stress & anxiety support for cats
When the gut is swollen, it can make your cat more anxious or stressed. This happens because there are lots of nerves connecting the gut and the brain. So, a healthy gut is important for a happy and calm kitty.
What about “prebiotics”?
Unlike probiotics, prebiotics are carbohydrates that induce the growth of good bacteria.
Extra support from inactive ingredients
Our probiotic formulation is expertly formulated and has added pumpkin and carrot powder to help enhance absorption.

Natural Remedies for Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Dogs and Cats with Additional Diarrhea Support
Typically with inflammatory bowel disease in dogs and cats, your vet will likely recommend a change in diet (since the underlying cause may be related to food allergies). They may prescribe medications and possible nutritional therapy. Our IBD and Diarrhea Super Support Kit contains TumFlora and Plantaeris. These two formulations work together to promote gut health and effective digestion, as well as ease common symptoms of IBD in pets like diarrhea and cramping.

If you are interested in a gut-friendly nutrition plan, or inflammatory bowel disease diet recommendations for dogs, NHV’s in-house vet Dr. Amanda can work with you to create a personalized plan for your pet's unique needs.

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. Providing your furkiddo with natural support for their digestion and gastrointestinal tract can help improve their quality of life and promote vitality!

Description
Natural Remedies for Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Dogs and Cats with Additional Diarrhea Support
Typically with inflammatory bowel disease in dogs and cats, your vet will likely recommend a change in diet (since the underlying cause may be related to food allergies). They may prescribe medications and possible nutritional therapy. Our IBD and Diarrhea Super Support Kit contains TumFlora and Plantaeris. These two formulations work together to promote gut health and effective digestion, as well as ease common symptoms of IBD in pets like diarrhea and cramping. Both natural IBD supplements can be taken alongside vet-prescribed medications (though we do recommend spacing the supplements and medication by 2 hours to be easier on your little one).
If you are interested in a gut-friendly nutrition plan, or inflammatory bowel disease diet recommendations for dogs, NHV’s in-house vet Dr. Amanda can work with you to create a personalized plan for your pet's unique needs.
