bowel support for dogs
Boswellia is a group of tree species found in Asia and Africa. This branching tree’s aroma has made it a popular plant in many cultures for rituals, traditional medicines, and perfumes.
While supplements derived from this tree may not make your pet smell nice, extracts of this tree have organic molecules with beneficial properties, including for our furry friends. In fact, using boswellia for dogs or cats can help with a variety of inflammatory conditions.
What Makes Boswellia Anti-Inflammatory?
We hear a lot about how anti-inflammatories are good for health, but what exactly is an anti-inflammatory? Inflammation is the body’s response to injuries and allergies. While this is not a bad thing, prolonged inflammation can cause more damage than good.
Prolonged inflammation can cause more damage than good
Boswellia has anti-inflammatory properties, meaning it can dampen excessive inflammation. Scientists believe it does this by inhibiting certain enzymes and inflammatory proteins.
Role in TumFlora: Supporting Your Pet’s Digestive Wellness
The key components of Boswellia have been identified as boswellic acid. Research suggests that boswellic acids have shown promise for use against a number of diseases and conditions.
Owing to its impressive anti-inflammatory properties, our vets have included it in TumFlora. This all-natural and vet-approved formula can help ease the symptoms of IBD and IBS, as well as general tummy troubles. Because these disorders are associated with inflammation, it is a good idea to ensure your pet is getting adequate anti-inflammatories through diet, medication, or supplements.
Boswellia for Dogs and Cats: Tips to Know
Taking boswellia with fat may help it absorb better. You can pair boswellia with a dose of PetOmega 3 for added nutrients and bonus anti-inflammatory effects.
Boswellia will remain active in the body for about 6 hours after it has been administered. For that reason, it is best given twice daily – but don’t guess around with dosing your pet. We have guides that can help you give them the correct amount each and every time.
Additionally, boswellia should not be given to pregnant or lactating animals, so hold off giving boswellia to new mamas or soon to be mamas!
Barking up the Boswellia Tree
Holistic vets love boswellia for dogs and cats because it is well-tolerated and safe to use in the long term. However, when you begin to give boswellia to your pet, there are a few things to keep in mind.
The dosage and quality of the herbal ingredient are crucial for safety and efficacy. We advise against using any herb without proper guidance and under the supervision of your pet’s veterinary team. NHV formulas are meticulously researched and made in a GMP-certified facility using only the highest quality organic or ethically harvested herbs. Each formulation was expertly developed by a holistic veterinarian and a master herbalist with a combined 50 years of experience in plant-based remedies. Through dedication and research, NHV formulations are safe and effective in extracting the medicinal properties of the herb through a patented process.

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.

Processed pet foods have increased omega-6 fatty acids, and decreased omega-3 fatty acids. The University of Maryland Medical Center states, "It is very important to maintain a balance between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the diet. A proper balance helps maintain and even improve health." Your dog’s body cannot easily make essential fatty acids.
