Even when we feed our dogs the best possible diet and provide vitamin and mineral supplements, many animals still do not attain the anticipated level of health. The reason could be a deficiency of digestive enzymes. Veterinarians and pet nutritionists often find such deficiencies and recommend digestive enzyme supplements. By aiding in the breakdown of food, these supplements help animals get more nutrients from their food. The results, according to the experts, include improved hair coat and skin, resistance to illness, vigor and mobility, and maintenance of good body weight. Canine Digestive Enzymes can be used instead of more expensive animal based pancreatic enzyme supplements! Research shows a strong link between enzyme deficiency and disease. Typical signs to look for are voluminous stool, often with undigested fat clearly visible; animals who eat their own feces; and animals who are clearly underweight despite big appetites. Enzymes are particularly beneficial to older dogs who often slowdown in their natural ability to produce digestive enzymes.
