Does your dog always seem hungry? Does your dog eat a lot but has problems putting on good weight? Does your dog eat dry or canned dog food? Does your dog eat grass? If you answered yes to any of these four questions than the odds are your dog needs Retrieve™ Digestive Enzymes & Probiotics. Retrieve™ Digestive Enzymes & Probiotics is a concentrated enzyme blend from fresh vegetable sources that contain live, viable, naturally occurring, micro-organisms to help support a healthy digestive system. Nearly all of the live, vital, bacteria needed for your dog's proper digestion are killed during the manufacturing process of most all dog foods. High heat is used during, and still more heat is caused during the extrusion process resulting in the death and damage to enzymes and bacteria. Digestive Enzymes and Probiotics restores these live/vital bacteria greatly enhancing the absorption of nutrients and restoring metabolic function by promoting the highest enzyme activity levels. This is accomplished by alpha-Amylase for starch hydroxylation, protease for protein hydroxylation, lipase for hydroxylation of triglycerides and cellulose for rapid cellulose break down. Also ideal for support in changing diets, after de-worming, and other stress related events. Gets your dog's system working the way it was designed to work. Net. Wt. 4 oz.

CONTENTS: A concentrated enzyme blend derived from vegetable sources. Contains a source of live/viable naturally-occurring microorganisms recommended to help support a healthy digestive tract. Weight Amount Dogs up to 20 lbs. 1/4 Teaspoon 21 lbs. to 39 lbs. 1/2 Teaspoon 40 lbs. to 79 lbs. 3/4 Teaspoon 80 lbs. to 99 lbs. 1 Teaspoon 100 lbs. and up 1 1/4 Teaspoon Other Information: Probiotics are living bacteria found in the mouth, esophagus, stomach, gut, intestines, colon, and vaginal tract of mammals. More than 400 bacterial species are found in the human digestive tract alone. Probiotics prevent the colonization of micro-organisms like pathogens. It is also linked to an increased resistance to infectious diseases, particularly of the intestine, decreased duration of diarrhea, reduction in blood pressure, reduction in serum cholesterol concentration, reduction in allergy, stimulation of phagocytosis by peripheral blood leucocytes, modulation of cytokine gene expression, adjuvant effect, regression of tumours, and reduction in carcinogen or co-carcinogen production.
