Lots of Love Pancreatine Powder, 12 oz

Pancreatine Powder for Dogs

Digestive issues aren’t fun for anyone, including our pets. That’s why Lots of Love Pet Products developed Pancreatic Enzymes for Dogs, a high potency, pancreatic enzyme powder for dogs and cats.

The Importance of Digestive Enzymes for Dogs & Cats

Digestive enzymes play an important role in dogs and cats because they are responsible for breaking down the food that your pet eats. In turn, this makes the nutrients in the food more available for the body to use. Pets receive digestive enzymes in two ways—from their diet and from their bodies (a properly functioning pancreas will produce digestive enzymes). However, some pets don’t produce enough digestive enzymes for proper digestion, and many pets eating a processed or cooked diet don’t receive enough digestive enzymes from their food.

Aging pets and certain conditions can lead to impaired digestion and decreased enzyme activity. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) occurs when the pancreas fails to produce enough digestive enzymes, which are responsible for breaking down different types of food and making the nutrients in the food more available for the body to use. EPI in dogs and cats can negatively impact the gastrointestinal system and lead to a host of health issues. Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy can help replace the digestive enzymes needed for proper digestion and nutrient absorption.

DIRECTIONS

Administer at each meal to dogs or cats over six weeks of age. Add to moistened food (canned or dry). For dogs, add 3/4 to 1 scoop per cup of food. For cats, add 1/4 to 1/2 scoop per cup of food. Thorough mixing of the moist food will be necessary to bring the enzymes into close contact with the food particles. After mixing is complete, incubate at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. For dogs and cats only. This product is intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding.
