Native Pet Pumpkin Fiber Powder Organic, Human Grade Digestive Supplement for Dogs & Cats, 8-oz

I rescued a Bernese Mountain dog a little over a year ago, and she has been having stomach trouble and diarrhea for over 8 months. I got an allergy test on her and found she is allergic to all grains except oatmeal and all meats other than salmon, venison, and bison. She is so picky about what she eats and we are so limited that just getting her to eat a full meal can be a struggle so when you add constant diarrhea on top of that we have unfortunately been going through it. The vet gave us some antibiotic powder that she was taking daily on her food and it helped a little bit but she still had loose stools daily, multiple times a day. They just weren’t uncontrollable like they had been and she explained that unfortunately that might just be “her normal.” We ran out of the powder and before we had gotten it refilled noticed that there wasn’t really a change. I purchased this product and the analgland product because thankfully even with all of her allergies, these do not have all of the fillers and additives that a lot of products do and she can have them. At first she wasn’t really interested so I had to add a little bit of the pumpkin powder at a time and now am adding the recommended amount and she does absolutely fine with it. She has been having almost completely solid stools for 3 days now. I never thought I would be on the verge of tears about my dogs poop, but it’s truly amazing because I’ve tried all the medications, purees, and additives and nothing has worked. We first started them and she had a HUGE liquid poop and then slept like the dead and now she is eating regularly and pooping like normal! Hoping she continues to do so and this isn’t just a short stint but I am actually hopeful for the first time in a long time. She is my soul dog and I love to see her doing better!

I never thought I’d be so overjoyed by firm poops, but my rescue Charlie used to have borderline diarrhea poops that were disgusting to pick up. He was a street dog whose gut biome was probably obliterated from eating lord knows what, but this powder combined with the probiotic powder by the same brand has finally brought us firm poops!

My dog was having really frequent problems with her @nal gland and has had intermittent diarrhea her whole life (mostly managed with prescription hypoallergenic food, but still gets triggered by snatching crumbs of our other dogs’ treats etc). This stuff firmed up her poop to the most consistently normal consistency it has ever been, and she also had zero gland problems while she was on it. We ran out and figured we would see how she did without it since it is so pricey, and she had gland problems again within a week and is also loosey goosey. So of course I just ordered some more! We’re hooked! This dog has an extremely sensitive stomach and it didn’t trigger her at all, and she loves the taste- licked up every last speck from her bowl each meal.

I am so happy I found this pumpkin powder so much easier and less wasteful than opening a can of pumpkin puree . I do make my dog's food and do add fresh cooked pumpkin but time to time my one elderly dog gets a hold of something she can not have like cheetoes from the neighborhood kids and grandkids or cat food and dog treats not approved by me from a neighbor , and yes I have begged everyone not to give her anything unless I ok it first but that's a long hard battle , anyways this powder is so easy to keep on hand . This can be fed dry mixed on food or rehydrated into a paste/pate as needed . My dogs love it either dry or rehydrated , I give it to them when their bowels are loose or runny which is due to them being sick or after giving medications to or eating something that doesn't agree with them . I only need to give this to them for about three days and to open a can of pumpkin which needs to be refrigerated after opening and only lasts three days & it gets watery and most canned pumpkins are actually butternut squash & not real pumpkin . I also bake off fresh pumpkins & freeze the pulp in containers but having this powder on hand is preferred because no defrosting or having to store in the fridge after defrosting .This pumpkin powder is just awesome helps dogs bind their loose stools .
