Beaphar IntestoPro Prebiotic Stool Firming Tablets for Cats & Small Dogs (1-20kg)

A loose stool is usually not a mystery. Beaphar list the ordinary causes themselves — a worming treatment, a course of antibiotics, a change of food, stress, weaning, or an animal that ate something off the pavement — and most of those sort themselves out in a couple of days if nothing makes them worse.

These tablets are aimed at that window. The active is zeolite, a natural clay that thickens stools by absorbing excess moisture, working alongside the prebiotics MOS and FOS, which Beaphar describe as supporting healthy gut function. There are 20 tablets in the pack, and they are cleared for cats and dogs from 8 weeks of age weighing over 1kg.

• 20 tablets
• Zeolite, a natural clay that absorbs excess moisture from stools
• Prebiotics MOS and FOS to support gut function
• For cats and dogs from 8 weeks of age
• For animals weighing over 1kg
• Aimed at short-term digestive upsets, not ongoing ones

Beaphar's own warning is the most important line on this page. If loose stools go beyond 3 days, or there is any blood, stop and see a vet — that is their instruction, not ours, and it is there because the things that need a vet look identical to the things that do not for the first day or so. On the pack name: it reads 1-20kg, while Beaphar's stated suitability says only "over 1kg" with no upper limit given, so a larger dog has no dose published here. No dosing table, no tablet strength and no ingredient percentages have been supplied to us either. The box is the authority.

Who it's for: someone with a cat or a small dog whose tummy has been upset by a diet change, a wormer or a bin raid — and who wants something sensible in the cupboard rather than a Sunday-night panic.
