More information about constipation in dogs
Good dog gut health is pivotal to overall health in your dog. If your dog’s gut is healthy, their digestive tract will be healthy. This means they’ll be able to absorb all they’re supposed to from their food, and pass the waste through their system with ease. Dogs with balanced guts are also less at risk for diseases or illnesses that may cause later problems.
Fiber may help with dog constipation
Fiber helps battle dog constipation because it aids your dog’s digestive system and keeps everything moving properly through the system.
High-quality fiber helps bulk up and solidify stool so that it moves through and is easier to pass from your dog’s digestive system. Fiber can help soak up water from outside of your dog’s colon to soften your dog’s stool for easier passing. It can fuel your dogs, and it can also help keep them feeling-full and not overeating.
High-quality fiber also helps your dog’s body absorb all it is supposed to from the food you offer, and helps fuel probiotics that balance their guts. When your dog has the right fiber intake, their balanced microbiomes can prevent hard stools, blockages and harmful bacterial overgrowth that can cause other health problems. The right combination of insoluble and soluble fiber in Bernie’s can help prevent diarrhea, constipation and slow digestion.
Not all fiber supplements for dogs are created equal, though. Bernie’s uses Miscanthus grass. It’s a healthier alternative to other cheap fiber fillers some supplements use, and is an all-natural, non-GMO, grain-free, gluten-free fiber that is sustainably grown. It’s grown without herbicides or pesticides and is good for the planet and for our dogs.
Prebiotics and Probiotics may help with dog constipation
Prebiotics and probiotics are key supplements to helping your dog’s gut health be at its best. Prebiotics and Probiotics balance out your dog’s digestive tract bacteria and microbiome. This means your dog’s poop moves through just as it should, without problem or pain.
The prebiotic in Bernie’s is Inulin. Inulin acts as a fertilizer to feed the good bacteria in your dog’s lower digestive tract. When the good bacteria in your dog’s digestive tract gets the right nutrition, they thrive and keep your dog’s gut healthy and balanced. A balanced gut is key to preventing constipation.
Probiotics are the good bacteria in your dog’s gut. Adding good bacteria through supplementation helps achieve good dog gut health by limiting harmful bacteria. When the good bacteria get proper nutrition, they multiply and create a healthy gut environment. Your dog’s gut becomes more balanced and functions properly. Probiotics are the good bacteria in the gut. Adding good bacteria with Bernie’s means we keep your dog’s digestive tract clean and moving along as it should.
Enzymes may help with your dog’s constipation
Enzymes in Bernie’s Perfect Poop will help your dog’s digestive tract break food down better. The food you give your dog is meant to be broken down so that their body can absorb nutrition and get rid of waste. Your dog’s digestive system actually involves several organs through the process of breaking down and excreting food. The more the food you give is broken down because of enzymatic help, the better your dog’s digestion will be. And better dog digestion means less constipation for your dog.
