The Importance of Digestive Health in Dogs

When it comes to your dog’s wellbeing, good digestion is the foundation of everything — from immune function to mood, energy, and nutrient absorption. Just like humans, dogs need a healthy gut to feel their best. That’s why supporting your dog’s digestive system with proper nutrition and targeted supplements is essential to their long-term health.

At Glucanine, we understand how interconnected the gut is with your dog’s overall wellness. Our supplements are formulated to promote digestive health naturally, helping your dog feel better from the inside out.

Why Digestive Health Matters

Your dog’s digestive system is responsible for more than just processing food — it also plays a key role in:

• Immune defence – Up to 70% of your dog’s immune system is in the gut
• Nutrient absorption – A healthy gut ensures your dog gets the most out of their food
• Energy production – Digestive health impacts how well food is converted into usable energy
• Mental wellbeing – The gut-brain connection means digestive issues can affect mood and behaviour

If your dog is experiencing signs like bloating, inconsistent stools, bad breath, excessive gas, or low energy, their gut health may need extra support.

How Glucanine Supports Digestive Wellness

Our range of supplements has been carefully developed to not only address specific conditions, but also to promote healthy digestion and nutrient absorption as part of daily care.

Glucanine Vitamin & Mineral Paste

This daily supplement provides a full profile of essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids to support your dog’s metabolism and digestive efficiency. It helps fill nutritional gaps and supports overall vitality, including healthy gut function.

Glucanine Liquid Gold Oil

Rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, this oil helps reduce inflammation in the digestive tract, supports healthy gut lining, and contributes to better nutrient absorption. It’s ideal for dogs with food sensitivities or dry, flaky stools.

Glucanine Calming Paste

Stress can disrupt your dog’s digestion, leading to diarrhoea, loss of appetite, or gut sensitivity. Our calming paste helps soothe the nervous system, which in turn can calm digestive disturbances and help your dog feel more balanced.

Tips for Supporting Your Dog’s Gut Health

In addition to supplement support, here are a few simple things you can do to keep your dog’s digestion running smoothly:

• Feed a consistent, high-quality diet – Avoid frequent changes to food and opt for whole, digestible ingredients
• Keep your dog well-hydrated – Adequate water supports regular digestion and prevents constipation
• Limit table scraps – Rich or unfamiliar human foods can disrupt gut bacteria and lead to upset stomach
• Encourage gentle daily movement – Walks and playtime help stimulate digestion
• Use supplements preventatively – Don’t wait for signs of discomfort; proactive care helps prevent long-term issues

Signs Your Dog May Need Digestive Support

Keep an eye out for:

• Gas or bloating
• Loose or inconsistent stools
• Loss of appetite
• Frequent grass eating
• Low energy or irritability

If you’re seeing these signs regularly, incorporating Vitamin & Mineral Paste or Liquid Gold Oil into your dog’s daily routine can help restore balance and comfort.
