A dog's gut usually only becomes the day's main topic of conversation once something has already gone wrong with it: a change of food, a stressful car journey, a course of antibiotics.

This is a fast-acting syringe designed to help stabilise gut balance and stool consistency during loose stools or digestive upset triggered by stress, diet changes or sudden dietary upset. It contains Bentonite to help firm loose stools, electrolytes (sodium and potassium chloride) to support hydration, dextrose to aid fluid balance, the probiotic Enterococcus faecium, MOS and FOS prebiotics, and TruPet postbiotics.

• Syringe format for fast, direct dosing
• Contains Bentonite to help firm loose stools
• Electrolytes (sodium and potassium chloride) to support hydration
• Dextrose included to aid fluid balance
• Probiotic Enterococcus faecium, plus MOS and FOS prebiotics and TruPet postbiotics

When this isn't enough. This is aimed at loose stools brought on by stress, a diet change, travel or a course of antibiotics, not at prolonged or severe diarrhoea, blood, vomiting, or a dog that seems unwell in itself. Any of those need a vet, not a syringe from the cupboard.

Who it's for: owners of a dog going through a known trigger for loose stools, a house move, a new food, a long journey, antibiotics, who want something on hand rather than waiting to see if it settles on its own.
