Gastrointestinal Digestive Care
Moomalu Gastrointestinal Digestive Care. A healthy digestive system is very important to the overall health of dogs since its main role is to digest food and absorb the nutrients so the body can use them for energy, growth, maintenance and repair.
The gastrointestinal (GI) tract also provides a barrier between external factors and the dog’s internal environment, keeping out potentially pathogenic organisms and harmful substances. Gastrointestinal conditions can occur due to a number of factors, such as stress, illness, eating something inappropriate, inflammation and food sensitivity or allergy.
Poor digestive health can cause discomfort for dogs, with common signs including frequent loose stools/diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort, bloating, constipation, lack of appetite and vomiting.
Not surprisingly, this can also lead to stress and concerns for owners and potentially result in a visit to the vet.
