A single loose stool usually isn't cause for alarm in an otherwise bright, eating, drinking pet, but it's also the kind of thing owners want to do something about immediately rather than simply waiting to see.

These tablets contain calcium carbonate and bismuth subcarbonate, and Johnson's describe them as aiding relief of the symptoms of mild diarrhoea, for dogs and cats over 12 weeks of age. The pack contains 12 tablets.

On what "mild" means. Johnson's specifically describe this as aiding mild diarrhoea, rather than a treatment for anything more serious — diarrhoea that's severe, contains blood, lasts more than a day or two, or comes with vomiting or lethargy needs a vet, rather than a second tablet.

Who it's for: owners of an otherwise well dog or cat over 12 weeks old with an occasional, mild bout of diarrhoea.
