Animal Essentials Plant Enzymes & Probiotics



Finally, an all-natural digestive aid with BOTH plant enzymes and probiotics. This product assists in the digestion and absorption of nutrients which are necessary to maintain good health. It relieves the extra burden placed on the digestive system because this product breaks down fats, carbohydrates, cellulose and protein. This formula replenishes enzymes that are easily destroyed by the normal processing of commercial pet food. Enzyme and probiotic supplementation is a great preventive measure to ensure good health. And this product contains no lactose, sugar or preservatives!


Digestive enzymes are special types of protein molecules that catalyze the breakdown of food into components that can be utilized by the body. These proteins are not stored in the body but are released into the digestive system based on the anticipation, aroma, or actual presence of food. Because they are not stored they must be taken with each meal, preferably with the food. Animal Essentials enzymes contain a blend of plant and microbial produced enzymes, none of which come from animal sources.

Animal derived enzymes will work in only one area of the digestive system, while plant and microbial enzymes work throughout the whole system, from the mouth to the stomach and into the intestines. As the body ages less enzymes are produced, and supplementation is necessary for optimum health. Also, digestive efficiency can be reduced by excitement, anxiety, or stress of any sort (travel, separation, working stress, etc.). Just add 1 tsp. to each cup of moist food for best results for your companion animals (formulated for cats and dogs.) 100g container.

A note about allergies

Allergies and skin disorders emanate from the inside of your animal's body. Often times they are treated at the sight of irritation, such as skin or ears. However, you have to address the underlying cause of the problem for long-term healing and relief. Ofter times allergies are related to a sluggish liver, caused by years of vaccinations, use of topical flea and tick poisons, and household and lawn chemical exposure. To help, use a detox formula to help the liver clean out and get healthy. Diet plays a crucial role as well, of course, so sensitive or allergic animals need a natural diet, free of chemical additives and low-cost filler ingredients such as grains.

Dog Scratching and Itching

In Singapore, one of the most common problems we seen in dogs are constant itching, scratching and licking all the time. Their skin becomes raw and red and they chew on their paws persistently eventually developed swollen and smelly paws. This has made a lot of dog owners anxiously searching for the causes behind the irritation in their pets and whatever treatment and/or medications that will cure this problem.


Occasional itching and scratching is a natural behavior in dogs. Problems only take place when the itching becomes extremely frequent. Severe itchiness is usually a sign of allergies or skin parasites. Itching is such a common issue for dogs and unfortunately there are so many reasons that cause the problem. It's hard to pinpoint the accurate cause.

There are several aspects that may be the beginning of the itching and scratching.

It may be the result of certain allergies that were introduced with frequent vaccinations. It can also be the dog has a poor immune system that may genetics or by stress as a puppy.

Some breeds are prone to zinc deficiencies, which can be not only a cause for itching, but of hair loss as well. Environmental issues can be another cause of the itching and scratching as well. Certain chemicals, detergents, and or fertilizers can cause itching to your dogs too.

Many pet owners think that by purchasing the most expensive dog food, food allergies are not a concern. This is absolutely not the case. Many dry foods contain grains such as wheat, corn, soy and grains which can cause them to scratch and itch even more. Even hypoallergenic diets can contain too many carbohydrates which can lead to yeast overgrowth and your dog continue to scratch and itch. Often food allergies, digestive upset and skin allergies go hand in hand. You need to find the right dog food and nutritional supplements for your dog which without doubt can help with your dog's overall inflammation.

If you are using dry food find one that is grain free, and has good protein sources in them. Some good kibble brands include Innova EVO, Orijen, Honest Kitchen, Addiction Dehydrated Raw Food and Wellness CORE.

For some dogs, a barf diet or home-cooked diet can be the solution but it is not for all dogs. It is important to understand that dogs are carnivores and their anatomy is designed specially to consume fats and animal proteins easily. We recommend that you speak with your holistic veterinarian, holistic consultant or pet nutritionist about your pet's allergies to help you identify the optimal diet. One key point is to be sure you are avoiding all of the following common food allergens: peanut butter, wheat, corn, soy, gluten, milk products--to name just a few.

Over and over again, veterinarians analyze these problems as allergies and propose the pet owner begin a variety of treatments that may include antibiotics, steroids, special prescription diets, topical anti-itching creams (often containing steroids), skin scrapings and dips. Unfortunately, too often there is a relapse of the symptoms soon after the treatments are discontinued. Once again, the owner is back searching for more answers and frequently the same treatments are offered or are given a stronger dose of treatments.

There are certain natural supplements that are beneficial in helping fight against skin allergies. Wholistic Pets Guardians has wonderful products for allergies including Allergy Itch, Super Immune Booster, Skin and Coat and Omega Oils. We do have stronger herbs that are on prescriptions only and we need to look at your dog’s overall conditions before prescribing. But it is important that you also work on eliminating possible allergens from your dog's diet as well to guarantee success. Most important of all, you need a lot of patience and cooperation from all parties.
