Animal Essentials Plant Enzyme & Probiotics Dog & Cat Supplement
Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
Animal Essentials’ Plant Enzymes & Probiotics assists in the digestion and absorption of nutrients which are necessary to maintain your pet’s good health. A small, very economical sprinkling each day will relieve extra burden placed on the digestive system by breaking down fats, carbohydrates, cellulose and protein. As your dog or cat’s body ages less enzymes are produced and supplementation is necessary for optimum health. Digestive efficiency can also be reduced by excitement, anxiety or stress of any sort (travel, separation, working stress, etc.). To ensure optimum digestion and health we recommend the addition of this supplement to each meal.

Alpha Amylase: Helps In the Digestion of Carbohydrates By Helping to Hydrolyze the Alpha 1-4 Glycosidic Linkages of Polysaccharides to Dextrin, D-Glucose, Maltose and Oligosaccharides. Beta Amylase: Works On the End of the Starch Molecules Instead of In the Center, As Does Alpha-Amylase and Results In the Production of Sugars from the Starch Molecules. Proteases: Work On Proteins to Reduce Them to Individual Amino Acids (What They Are Composed Of); Some of These Are Acid Stable Proteases That Start Their Work In the Stomach. Proteins Take the Longest and Are the Most Difficult Food Component to Digest. with Acid Stable Protease the Decomposition Starts Earlier In the Digestive Tract, Thus Providing More Complete Digestion. Lipase: Helps to Metabolize Fats (Triglycerides). the Fats Are Broken Down Into Mono Glycerides, Diglycerides and Glycerol. If Given In Larger Quantities the Lipases Can Enter the Bloodstream and Help Remove Excess Triglycerides from the Arteries and the Veins Improving Circulation. Cellulase: As the Name Implies, Breaks Down Cellulose (Fiber) By Helping to Break Down Cell Walls, Resulting In Both Necessary Solubleand Insoluble Fiber. Hemicellulase: Hemi Cellulose and An Amorphous (Sticky) Type of Cellulose That Form Long Strings As Cellulose, Is Crystalline. This Enzyme Helps Break This Polymer Down Into Its Individual Sugars---Primarily Xylose. Bromelain: Is Extracted from Pineapple (Ananas Comosus) and Is A Protolytic (Protein) Digesting Enzyme, That Helps Break the Proteins Into Oligio Peptides and Amino Acids. Probiotic: Is A Lactic Acid Producing Bacteria, Which Bears Spores. These Organisms Exhibit the Characteristics of Both the Genera Lactobacillus and Bacillus. Because They Are Encapsulated In Spores These Organisms Are Protected from the Environment and Heat. They Are Activated In the Gut By the Hydrochloric Acid, Producing Lactic Acid Bacteria. Treatment with Antibiotics Results In the Killing of These Bacteria, Which Guard Against Yeast Colonies (Candida Yeast Species). These Desirable Bacteria Inhibit the Growth of Putrid Bacterial In the Intestine, Thereby Maintaining the Balance of Intestinal Flora. Calcium Sulfate: the Primary Carrier or Excipient for This Product Is Food Grade and Adds A Minimum Amount of Calcium to the Diet, About 200 mg Per Gm of Product.

Dog didn't like
By Swb61 on Mar 8, 2021
My dog would not eat her food when I sprinkled this on it. All of the reviews were good and I had such high hopes...sadly, could not get her to eat with this on it. Will donate it to our local shelter

Great Probiotic
By BeccaP on Sep 19, 2020
I have been using this probiotic with my dog for over a year and it is wonderful - keeps her regular, she doesn't even notice it's mixed in her food (I also add a spoonful of pumpkin or bone broth), and it seems to keep her healthy and balanced. Would definitely recommend if you're looking to add a probiotic to your dogs food!

A great additive!
By Frankie on Oct 16, 2020
My 11 yr. old dog with liver disease had lost his appetite. I add this to his dry food with a tablespoon of can food and warm water and he gobbles it right up. He seems energized and happy now.

Seems to be working
By Renesroost on Oct 26, 2020
I bought this since I saw my dog was having issues with itchy ears, and I wanted to see if a probiotic worked. I will need more time to know if this is working or not, but it seems to be.

Probiotic that works
By Cindy on Aug 14, 2020
I finally found the probiotic for my GSD/Norwegian Elk mix. She has a sensitive digestive track and this has been the only one to keep her regular. Others worked on and off. This one keeps her regular even when she is stressed. Has to be refrigerated once open but it is a small price to pay for a product that works. Please keep stocking this item!

Great product no expiration date
By Lindy on Jun 21, 2020
Our dog does really well with this product. It keeps her regular and at almost 12 years old a healthy digestive system is a must. I was disappointed to find no expiration date on the container. I also found trying to add items that I didnt want on auto ship to the one I regularly receive was difficult. I ended up with all on auto ship and a double order after cancelling one because of the confusion. If the enzyme was dated I might be ok with the double order but this product lasts a long time.

MIXED REVIEW
By yoyogirl on Jun 21, 2020
The good news is that this will stop diahrrea and vomiting. Also helps yeast overgrowth and hot spots. The bad news is that after a while, my cats stopped eating their food if I used it. I bought another brand that they eat everyday. Had to throw away half of a bottle of this.

Good bacteria for your dog’s belly
By Joan on Aug 15, 2020
It seems to work for my dog, she stopped the diarrhea after taking it for two days. In addition, you only need to feed her a small amount.

Second review
By Ellen on May 27, 2020
My first review was based solely on my cats acceptance of the product not the wonderful things that it has done for my old cat. I took this stray cat in 15 years ago, I've had her in to the vet several times over the years, she had a chronic case of bacteria in her ears that no drops or medication would remedy. Her eyes were always a bit crusty, and her breathing always worried me. After a couple of weeks of adding this to her wet food, her eyes and ears are clear and breathing is like a normal cats! I'm aggravated at my vet, but so glad I accidentally stumbled on this cure. So sad she suffered all those years needlessly.

Older cat lost significant weight
By Tina on Apr 21, 2020
I ordered this for my 13 year old cat because he often threw up and I thought this would help settle his belly. After 3 days of giving him this, he stopped eating completely and lost a lot of weight. I discontinued this and a few days later he got his appetite back and gained a pound back in a week! He has not thrown up since, but I will not continue to use. It seems like this product has worked well for others, but it wasn’t a good fit for my cat.
