Canine Digestive Enzymes ™ "Top Pick" Whole Dog Journal, May 1998 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 absorb more nutrients from their diet. The results, according to the experts, include improved hair coat and skin, resistance to illness, vigor and mobility, and maintenance of good body weight. Other supplements such as Viokase® and Pancreazyme® can cost up to 10 times more! Research shows a strong link between enzyme deficiency and disease. Some typical signs to look for are unusual odor or consistency of the stool, animals who eat their own feces and animals who are clearly underweight despite big appetites.
