Gut problems are common in our dogs, with gurgling tummies, excessive wind, nausea, inappetence, and looser or more frequent stools all being signs that something isn't quite right. Various medical conditions, stress, and changes in your dog’s environment or diet (including eating things that they shouldn’t have!), can all be to blame. Whether it’s ongoing tummy troubles or a short-term upset though, Tree Barks Powder can help quickly soothe your dog's digestive tract, as it is suitable for long or short-term use. The gentle action of Tree Barks Powder means that it is suitable to use in dogs of all ages too, including weaning puppies.
How does Tree Barks Powder work?
Tree Barks Powder is a fine fluffy powder that does something magic when it gets wet! It becomes almost blancmange-like, hence the name ‘slippery’ elm, and we all know how gooey marshmallows are... The moisture in the digestive tract is enough to cause this Tree Barks Powder transformation, allowing it to coat and soothe the stomach and digestive tract (emollient action), and slow down the passage of food. All this helps maintain normal absorption of nutrients and stools with normal consistency.
