What specific ingredients in the Digestive Support diet contribute to supporting dogs with gastrointestinal issues?
The Digestive Support diet incorporates specific ingredients to effectively support dogs with gastrointestinal (GI) issues):
- Lean White Fish and Lean Turkey: Chosen for their high digestibility, these proteins make the diet ideal for dogs with delicate digestion. They provide essential nutrients without adding unnecessary stress to the digestive system.
- Marshmallow Root: Included to soothe and protect the tissues in your dog's digestive system, marshmallow root helps prevent potential irritation or inflammation, offering a calming effect on the digestive tract.
- Psyllium Husk: This ingredient is considered a gold-standard soluble fibre source and helps gut bacteria produce butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid crucial for colon health.
- Pumpkin: Pumpkin’s soluble fibre adds bulk to your dog’s stool by absorbing water, while its fermentation produces beneficial fatty acids that support intestinal absorption, lower large intestine pH, and promote overall digestive health
