What are the Ingredients?

Digestive Support is a 100% herbal formula and contains the following ingredients in therapeutic dosage: Licorice, Marshmallow, Slippery Elm.

• Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) is an excellent tonic for the intestines, bladder, kidney and entire digestive tract. This herb is also very effective in soothing the lining of the digestive tract. It has long been used as an herbal remedy for gastro-intestinal health and is well known for its immune-supporting properties. Licorice also exerts a gentle relaxing action on the bowels, helping to support healthy digestion and waste removal and has been investigated for its promotion of liver health. (Arase Y, Ikeda K, Murashima N, et al. "The long term efficacy of glycyrrhizin in chronic hepatitis C patients". Cancer 1997;79(8):1494-1500.)
• Slippery elm (Ulmus fulva) is known for its bark, which is an excellent digestive herb rich in trace minerals, manganese, iodine, protein and soothing mucilage. It is a very highly respected herb in naturopathic circles and is regularly used by holistic veterinarians to improve the health of the digestive tract. (DeHaan RL. Home remedies for pets. J Am Holistic Veterinary Med Assoc 1994;12:26.)
• Marshmallow (Althaea officinalis) is a well known remedy for digestive health and contains large sugar molecules, called mucilage, which exert a soothing demulcent effect on the mucous membranes of the digestive tract. This makes Marshmallow an ideal natural remedy to support a healthy lining in the digestive tract.

How do I use Digestive Support?

Digestive Support comes in convenient capsule form.

Capsules may be swallowed whole by larger dogs. However, most owners find that it is easier and more convenient to open the capsule and mix the contents with wet food or a treat and prevent stress to both pet and owner!

Cats especially hate to have capsules forced down their throats and will happily eat the dried herb when it is mixed with a treat, a little fish or rolled into a butter ball.

DIRECTIONS

Cats: 1/2 capsule twice daily
Dogs under 20 lbs: 1/2 capsule twice daily
Dogs 20-50 lbs: 1 capsule twice daily
Dogs over 50 lbs: 1-2 capsules twice daily

CAUTION:

Safety during pregnancy and nursing has not been established.

How long until I see results?

Response times may vary based on individual variables. However, as with all good tonics, an initial improvement should be noted within 10 – 14 days and continued gradual improvement should follow.

What else can help?

According to many experts and followers of holistic health, the best diet for dogs and cats is a raw diet. Cooked food, pasteurized milk and other processed foods are thought to be damaging to the health of animals.

Everything in the anatomy of dogs and cats points to a raw meat-based diet as being what they were designed for. They have sharp teeth, short intestines, and highly-concentrated digestive secretions to digest raw meat.

• Do not change diet suddenly, but slowly introduce fresh, raw and unprocessed food into your pet's daily diet, while reducing commercial foods and foods with little nutritious value.
• Keep diet varied and interesting, but watch out for foods that your pet may be allergic to.
• Regular exercise helps to build up a healthy appetite and gets all organs in the body functioning well. It also helps to relieve stress and contributes to a healthy, happy pet!
• Animals need time outdoors where they can naturally seek out herbs that will help them maintain the health of their digestive system. All carnivorous animals, including dogs and cats, will naturally induce vomiting from time to time as a cleansing process to get rid of excess bile, mucus and other impurities. They do this by eating plants which will induce purging. This is healthy and animals should not be reprimanded for it!
• Add green sprouts to your pet's food every day. This is an easy way to improve digestion and supply much-needed vitamins, amino acids, and trace elements.
• Consult a holistic veterinarian for advice about the health problems associated with routine vaccination and regular antibiotic use.
• For animals that suffer from constipation, ensure adequate roughage in the diet and use Natural Moves for Pets for dogs and cats.
• Furball Dr. helps to prevent distressing furballs in cats that are prone to this problem.

How long will a bottle last?

Depending on the size of your pet, Digestive Support will last 15 - 60 days.

How has Digestive Support helped others?

“Thank you for the help and guidance you have given me. My beautiful collie has not been so comfortable in years. He just seems to be so much happier and healthier and we are so pleased that we followed your advice regarding Digestive Support and diet.”

“I have two cats, and I put a little bit of the herb mixture in their food and they will eat it (usually). I like that there is a sweet smell to the herb mixture. The capsules are too big for them to swallow so I just use the powder itself for the cats. I think in the long term, it will really help regulate their digestion.”

“My 15 year old cat was diagnosed with [bowel issues] about a year and a half ago. She was skin and bones and had horrible diarrhea. Vet put her on…meds. It helped for a while but every other month she would have a relapse. She was going downhill so fast that I was afraid that I might have to put her to sleep. I decided to try RuniPoo [Relief] and that did help control the diarrhea, but I knew that she needed more than that. I started her on Digestive Support…I was not going to give up. I decided to just lightly sprinkle it on her food and it worked like a charm. She is like her old self again! I can't believe the difference! It did what all the… meds were supposed to do. She has gained weight, has no more loose stools. She is back to following me around the house and looking for attention. I cannot thank you enough!”

“PetAlive will definitely be my first resort from now on…. My animals are my world and the natural way just makes so much more sense!!!!”

— Gayle.

“We have two Himalayan cats, one female and one male, and will be getting another in about two weeks. We love our cats and they are like part of the family. I saw your ad on the internet and I decided all natural would be worth trying as it would not hurt her and just might help. I am very happy to report that after about three weeks of giving her your Digestive Support she is like a different cat; she plays with the other cat and is once again loving with us. She has normal trips to the litter box and we are really enjoying her again. Thanks again.… I give her half a capsule in about 1/2 tsp boiled chicken and she takes it very happily. I am recommending it to everyone I see. Again thanks for giving us back our "Suga"”
