Digestive changes can be influenced by food, feeding patterns, routine, environment and many other factors. The guides here are designed to help owners understand those possibilities without trying to diagnose the cause.
Consider what has changed, how long it has been happening and whether there are other changes alongside it.
Meals, treats, chews, scavenging and sudden dietary changes can all alter what enters the digestive system.
Persistent, significant or concerning changes should be discussed with your vet.
CaniNectar is a complementary feed designed for use as part of the normal diet of healthy dogs.
It contains enzyme-rich malt extract — ERME — produced using a patented process designed to preserve naturally occurring digestive enzyme activity.
The nutritional idea behind CaniNectar starts upstream: what happens during digestion helps determine the nutritional environment encountered further along the gut.
CaniNectar is not a veterinary medicine and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease. If your dog has persistent digestive changes, unexplained weight loss, repeated vomiting, blood in the stool, significant discomfort or you are otherwise concerned about their health, speak to your vet.
The Science Hub looks in more detail at digestive enzymes, microbial communities, metabolites and the nutritional environment within the canine gut.
