Parasite Cleanser and Diarrhea Relief
What is IBD in Dogs and Cats?
Inflammatory cells invade the gastrointestinal tract.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in dogs and cats is a common gastrointestinal issue. When a pet suffers from IBD, inflammatory cells inside the body invade the gastrointestinal tract (GI), including the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. Once inflammatory cells enter the GI tract, they may disrupt normal function such as absorption and peristalsis (movement through the intestines). Different factors can lead to this condition, like imbalances in the immune system, food allergies, bacteria, and parasites. However, in many cases, there may be no apparent cause.
Is there a Difference Between IBD and IBS?
Although diarrhea is a common symptom in both IBD and IBS, IBD refers to an inflammation in the gut caused by an autoimmune response in the body. In contrast, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) refers to colitis caused by stress. In IBS, symptoms tend to reverse once the cause of stress is removed, whereas IBD treatment requires medication and nutritional therapy.
Symptoms of IBD
It is not unusual for your pet to get diarrhea or vomit here and there: it may just be something that didn’t sit well in their tummy, maybe they’ve overeaten, or, in some cases, they haven’t eaten enough. If your furkiddo begins to vomit and the stools are frequently on the softer side, it’s essential to keep an eye on them and to watch out for these other symptoms:
- Straining to defecate (possible blood in the stool)
- Loss in appetite
- Weight loss
- Vomiting
- Lethargy
Treatment and Support for IBD in Dogs and Cats
When it comes to managing your pet’s IBD symptoms, it generally consists of a combination of medication and nutrient therapy. Changes to your pet’s diet help play a key role in getting on top of IBD symptoms since the cause may be related to food allergies, so we highly recommend hypoallergenic diets and food trials. A personalized nutrition plan for anyone interested in home cooking for pets is also a great option; our in-house holistic vet, Dr. Amanda, can create one based on your furkiddo’s unique needs. Dogs and cats with IBD should also not be given any treats unless your vet approves them. Pets that suffer from diarrhea would greatly benefit from a diet higher in fiber.
Natural supplements may offer helpful support for IBD. The NHV Inflammatory Bowel Disease Comfort Kit can help support dogs and cats suffering from IBD or IBS. The Kit contains two supplements:
NHV Inulin-PK: This gentle formula has many beneficial properties that can help repair damage caused by parasites or IBD. It is formulated to support GI tract healing, and it may help protect/regenerate the liver as well.
NHV Plantaeris: A blend of soothing herbs that help maintain normal bowel function and may help alleviate spasms and digestive discomfort.
NHV Yucca: Can help provide relief for inflammation, digestion, appetite, and help with overall discomfort.
NHV TumFlora: Is a powerful yet gentle blend of herbs that can help to support overall gastrointestinal health while improving natural intestinal flora. TumFlora can also help to reduce discomfort.
NHV Probiotic & Prebiotic: Aids in managing IBD symptoms such as vomiting, nurturing beneficial gut bacteria, and promoting a strong digestive system.

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.
