IBS stands for Irritable Bowel Syndrome, a condition that affects millions of people in the United States and also causes digestive issues and gastrointestinal upset for our pets. Many people can confuse Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). IBS in pets is a psychosomatic disease, meaning that the mind is connected to the symptoms, and that episodes of IBS may be linked to stress, among other factors.
IBS in pets may be a difficult condition to understand at first, but there are many ways that you can help your pet manage this disease.
While the veterinary community is continuously learning more about the best ways to treat and manage this condition, holistic care can be very useful for providing relief and avoiding flare-ups.
Symptoms & Causes of IBS in Pets
A pet with IBS may present with a variety of symptoms, some of which can even contradict each other. The most prevalent symptoms are diarrhea and constipation, and these may be accompanied by bloating and gas, abdominal discomfort, and changes in eating habits. Episodes of these symptoms can arise due to food sensitivity or intolerance, stress, gastrointestinal infections, or genetic predisposition. These irritants can lead to the dysfunction of the intestinal muscles, disrupting the normal pattern of contractions. This wide range of causes may be why IBS can be particularly difficult for pet parents to manage, but we hope we may be able to provide our fellow pawrents with some holistic care strategies that will help.
Diagnosis & Treatment
First, if a pet is experiencing chronic digestive issues, it is important for these symptoms to be evaluated by a veterinarian. The veterinarian will be able to diagnose a pet with IBS by eliminating other potential diseases. They will likely order bloodwork, do an analysis of the stool to look for bacteria or parasites, perform an abdominal ultrasound to observe the structure and movements of the intestine, and test for viral infections.
Once a diagnosis of IBS is confirmed, your veterinarian may recommend that your pet begins taking a probiotic and prebiotic or a fiber supplement, as well as other changes to their diet, and may prescribe medications for reducing stress. In addition to these suggestions, there are some natural remedies for symptoms of IBS and techniques for reducing stress to avoid flare-ups. NHV’s Plantaeris and NHV’s TumFlora are two supplements that may be helpful for promoting a healthy gastrointestinal tract, while NHV’s Yucca may also be beneficial for this condition as it reduces inflammation and discomfort.
Suggested Products for IBS in Pets
NHV’s Plantaeris contains herbs which may help reduce inflammation and calm the gastrointestinal tract, relieving spasms and expelling gas. Due to the properties of NHV’s Yucca which may help to alleviate inflammation, it can also reduce pain and discomfort, thereby supporting the appetite and digestion. Other products that may be useful for supporting a pet with IBS would be probiotics and prebiotics. These products balance the gut environment by supplementing the biome of the gut with bacterial populations that help break down certain compounds of the diet.
Since episodes of IBS can be triggered by stress, it may also be beneficial to introduce a supplement like NHV’s Lesstress for dogs or NHV’s Matricalm for cats to help reduce anxiety, as well as to ensure regular exercise and provide your pet with a safe space in the home that they can retreat to, if needed.
Conclusion
IBS in pets may be a difficult condition to understand at first, but there are many ways that you can help your pet manage this disease. If your little one is frequently dealing with symptoms like diarrhea and constipation, it may be time for an assessment by a veterinarian.
For a holistic approach to dealing with IBS in pets, it is important to incorporate the recommendations of your veterinarian along with a regimen of supplements and natural supports. NHV’s digestive support supplements, Plantaeris and Tumflora, and NHV’s Yucca may provide proactive support for IBS by promoting a healthy gut environment. Probiotics and prebiotics may assist with balancing the gut microbiome, as well. Reducing stress in the home environment and regular visits to the veterinarian should help empower you to manage this disease, too. By implementing all of these strategies, we hope you will be able to ensure comfort for your furkiddo and relief from IBS symptoms.

Plantaeris is a gentle, natural vet-formulated supplement to help cat diarrhea. It is designed to help reduce symptoms of diarrhea and maintain normal bowel function. It also helps soothe and relieve spasms, and discomfort. Since this herbal formulation helps balance the body, it can be used on a longer-term basis if your cat suffers from frequent diarrhea (though it is vital to understand the underlying cause of diarrhea).
How to Stop a Cat’s Diarrhea
Diarrhea is a symptom of digestive disorders. In cats, it can be caused by inflammatory bowel disease, food allergies, parasites, or commonly an underlying condition, such as hyperthyroidism or kidney disease.
To help with cat diarrhea, make sure your pet is getting adequate water and nutrition as diarrhea can lead to weight loss, dehydration, vomiting, and lethargy. Remember that a cat can be eating the same food for years and still develop a food allergy to it. Talk to your vet to rule out any underlying conditions.
For days when your cat is suffering from acute diarrhea, the Plantaeris dosage may be safely doubled. You can then bring down the dosage to normal after the episode has passed. Try adding a bit of pumpkin to their diet to help bulk up stools.

As pet parents, we are constantly looking for ways to keep our furkiddos happy and healthy. An essential aspect of their well-being often revolves around maintaining a healthy digestive system. Just like in humans, a well-functioning gut is also vital for dogs, impacting their overall health and vitality. Our natural probiotics for dogs can help you achieve that. As a great proactive support, this supplement can be taken long-term to support your pup’s gut health and more.
What Are Prebiotics & Probiotics?
First things first, let’s understand what are the roles of prebiotics and probiotics and their importance. Prebiotics are plant fibers that feed the “good” bacteria that are already in your pup's gut. They aren’t digested and they stay in the colon to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria.
Probiotics, on the other hand, are live bacteria and yeasts that offer numerous health benefits, especially for the digestive system! Essentially, prebiotics are food for probiotics. When ingested, they can help maintain a healthy balance of gut bacteria and support healthy gut function.
How NHV Prebiotics + Probiotics Helps Support Dogs
Now you understand the functions of prebiotics and probiotics individually, how can they work together to benefit your doggo? It could help in the following ways:
- Restoring Balance & Aiding Digestion:
As mentioned, both prebiotics and probiotics help balance the amount of healthy bacteria in your little one. They work synergistically to restore the natural balance of the gut microbiome, ensuring that the friendly bacteria outweigh the harmful ones. This balance is crucial for a healthy digestive tract. It may help ease digestive discomfort and promote smoother digestion.
- Supporting Immunity:
A healthy gut can be very helpful in balancing your pup’s immune system. By maintaining a balanced gut microbiome, prebiotics and probiotics contribute to a stronger immune response, helping your dog fend off disease.
- Addressing Stress & Anxiety:
Ever gotten that sting in your stomach when you’re stressed about something? Turns out, our dogs get that too. They may experience diarrhea in stressful situations like visiting a vet. That’s because stress and anxiety responses may affect the digestive flow of your little one and cause an upset stomach. Prebiotics and probiotics can play a role in supporting these issues.
*As extra support, our vet-formulated pro and prebiotic contains added pumpkin and carrot powder to help enhance the absorption of the supplement!

Yucca root is widely used in dog food as well as in other pet foods. It is an herb that is highly nutritive as it is rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese, protein, niacin, and phosphorus. 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 and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis. Yucca may also be effective as an appetite booster in dogs and may also help reduce the production of urease, which contributes to the unpleasant odors of urine and feces in some dogs.

Plantaeris is a gentle, natural vet-formulated supplement to help cat diarrhea. It is designed to help reduce symptoms of diarrhea and maintain normal bowel function. It also helps soothe and relieve spasms, and discomfort. Since this herbal formulation helps balance the body, it can be used on a longer-term basis if your cat suffers from frequent diarrhea (though it is vital to understand the underlying cause of diarrhea).
How to Stop a Cat’s Diarrhea
Diarrhea is a symptom of digestive disorders. In cats, it can be caused by inflammatory bowel disease, food allergies, parasites, or commonly an underlying condition, such as hyperthyroidism or kidney disease.
To help with cat diarrhea, make sure your pet is getting adequate water and nutrition as diarrhea can lead to weight loss, dehydration, vomiting, and lethargy. Remember that a cat can be eating the same food for years and still develop a food allergy to it. Talk to your vet to rule out any underlying conditions.
For days when your cat is suffering from acute diarrhea, the Plantaeris dosage may be safely doubled. You can then bring down the dosage to normal after the episode has passed. Try adding a bit of pumpkin to their diet to help bulk up stools.
