Usage & Dosage
The amount depends on your dog’s meal size and individual needs. A general guideline is provided on every jar, but adjustments may be required. View our detailed feeding guidelines here.
Enzymes should be thoroughly mixed into moistened food to ensure even coating and effectiveness. The prepared meal with enzymes should then be allowed to sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before feeding.
Many dogs show improvement within days, but for others it may take a few weeks. Consistency of both dose & meal size is key.
Yes, but smaller breeds may require enzyme adjustments with their smaller meal sizes to avoid loose stools or over-supplementation.
Yes, large breeds can also be prone to digestive issues which can require pancreatic enzyme supplementation. Enzymes can help reduce strain during digestion.
Feeding & Diet
Not always, but diet plays a key role. Dogs with sensitive stomachs may benefit from certain, limited-ingredient foods (i.e. low-grain, low-fiber).
Yes, but enzyme support should cover all main meals. Occasional treats without enzymes are usually fine if given within 30 mins of an enzyme treated meal or within 30 mins after an enzyme treated meal.
Too much fiber may interfere with enzyme effectiveness, but some dogs can tolerate fiber.
Digestive Issues
Loose stool can result from too much enzyme per meal, not enough, or other dietary issues. Adjusting dosage usually helps.
Many dogs need time to adjust or require dosage changes. Persistent hunger can also be diet related.
Yes. Enzymes help break down food more completely, reducing undigested material that causes gas.
Special Considerations
Older dogs often digest less efficiently, so enzyme support can help maintain weight and comfort.
While very few dogs may be sensitive to pancreatic (porcine based) enzymes, enzymes do not contain common allergens. But diet should be managed carefully alongside enzyme use with certain dogs.
Practical Questions
Yes. The powder is lightweight, stable, and can be portioned ahead of time.
No. Store in a cool, dry place. Heat and moisture should be avoided.
