An upset stomach usually resolves faster than the worry does, which is why having something on hand for the first day or two matters more than what happens after that. Beaphar's IntestoPro is built for that early window, before a vet visit becomes necessary.

It's a prebiotic, stool-firming paste containing zeolite alongside FOS and MOS prebiotics, given via a single 20ml dosing syringe by rotating the plunger. It's suitable for cats, dogs, kittens and puppies from 4 weeks of age, weighing between 1kg and 15kg.

• 20ML dosing syringe
• Contains zeolite, FOS and MOS prebiotics
• For cats, dogs, kittens and puppies from 4 weeks
• For animals weighing 1-15kg
• Use within 3 months of opening
• Store below 25C, not in the fridge

One thing worth knowing. Beaphar are specific that this is for short-term digestive upset, not an ongoing problem: if symptoms persist beyond 3 days, or you see blood in the stool, that's a vet visit rather than a second dose of paste.

Who it's for: owners of a cat, dog, kitten or puppy over 4 weeks old and under 15kg who want something in the cupboard for an off day, with a clear line for when it's time to call the vet instead.
