Our dog had always had soft stool, but when he started having diarrhea every day, we took him to the vet. (After trying just about every other remedy we could think of - pumpkin, switched his food, gave him probiotics, etc. etc.) They checked his stool and said he had a high bacteria count. At the time I had asked if perhaps he wasn't producing enough enzymes, to which the vet responded "Maybe." They proceeded to put him on antibiotics and an artificial stool hardener for about 6 weeks, which only helped superficially. Once he was off the stool hardener, he was back to having diarrhea. I went with my initial idea (I had done a TON of research prior) that the cause was an inadequate production of enzymes (which, as it turns out, can lead to an increase in bad bacteria in the intestines - go figure). With my fingers crossed, I ordered a bottle of Animal Essentials Plant Enzymes and Probiotics. Within a few days of administering the enzymes with each meal, my dog was no longer having diarrhea. Within about another week, his stool was actually firm, which it had never been. I'm happy to say that well over a month later, we have not had a single bout of diarrhea and his stool is firm and normal! Since starting the enzymes, his energy has increased (he's actually digesting his food!) and his coat has improved (again - all those tasty essential fatty acids are actually being used!). We are so thankful this product exists and can't recommend it enough!

5.0 out of 5 stars IMMUNE SYSTEM RESTORED, June 19, 2008

By 

Pam K - See all my reviews

This review is from: Animal Essentials Plant Enzymes & Probiotics, 300 Grams (Misc.)

When my Giant German Shepherd was just a few months old he spent 3 weeks with a trainer. When he returned from the kennels there he had a skin infection. The vet prescribed antibiotics and gave him a cortizone shot. To make a long story short, this began a very ugly cycle. These intitial treatments broke this pup's immune system. He became allergic to many things, food, his tic & flea treatment, etc. As a result he would have ear infections on a regular basis, diarrhea, and would constantly chew at his rump. We'd take him back to the vet and he'd prescribe more of the above. The poor guy would be up all night chewing and scratching himself and suffering. This went on for many months. Someone with a holistic persective finally advised that it sounded as though his immune system was out of wack due to all of drugs, etc. and that I should try this product. I began using it and within 10 days an improvement began. After a month, he almost never scratched, etc. He's been on it now for 6 months and hasn't had diarrhea (which had been a couple times a month), he's back on his tic & flea treatment with no negative reaction. He sleeps through the night, his coat has improved and he's gaining weight at a more appropriate rate.

We will keep him on this stuff forever. It seems he had developed a yeast infection from all the drugs and now it's gone!

My poor 3 year old female Pit Bull has suffered with allergies, skin issues/infections, yeast, and bacteria for the better part of the last 2 years. I worked at a vet and till shad trouble getting her any relief and most things were just a temporary band-aid to the symptoms, not a fix. We did round after round of antibiotics, anti-fungal, antihistamines, mite treatments, diets, supplements, ear drops/ointments, shampoos, and sprays. Just before I tried this product I was giving her the highest max dose of Benadryl every single day. I started doing some research online and found that many people had dogs with similar issues found success by treating the immune system and problem from the inside out. My vet kept insisting that the root is probably a food allergy, but of course without expensive testing we couldn't be sure. Food trails at home didn't work well because we kept trying more and more premium foods with alternative ingredients and they aren't cheap. I have 4 dogs and go through 20 pounds of food a week. It is hard to feed different diets and there is no way I can keep my husband from giving them table scraps, it just won't happen. It got to where it didn't seem she felt any better on one food than another. So after finding this info online about adding probiotics and prebiotics being a super food. I decided to give it a try. Just three days after adding this powder along with a prebiotic there was a major improvement. Within a week I stopped giving her any antihistamines and still no issues. I couldn't believe it!!!! The itching, chewing, scratching, licking was all gone. I treated her ears with a topical ointment for a week after starting it and a week later after no ear treatment she is still fine. By now if we had just finished the vet recommended treatment she would already be showing signs of a "flare up". Great product that did exactly what I wanted. Thank you!!!
