Hi all, Junst wondering if an enzyme supplement with: ( Protease, Amylase, Invertase, Glucoamylase, Lipase, Peptidase, Malt diastase, Xylanase... more Protease, Amylase, Invertase, Glucoamylase, Lipase, Peptidase, Malt diastase, Xylanase, Cellulose, Lactase, Tannase, Fenugreek seed, Ginger rhizhome, Fennel seed. Contains sodium benzoate. ) as the ingredients would be ok for my dog? It is a human enzyme supplement. Otherwise if anyone could recommend a website that sells dog enzyme supplements that would be great

I take it this is to aid or settle digestion? I havent got a clue what half of them are not to mention what they do but what is the reason you want to introduce something - someone may be able to point you to a decent doggy product

HI james1, The enzymes are to aid digestion. Ankles is a 10yr old jack russell, he had a skin cancer removed about 2 years ago but no other health problems. Ideally I would like to get alot more raw food in his diet but its not always practical so that is why i am going the way of enzymes, to aid his digestion into his later years, although his still has alot of bounce now!

Does your dog suffer from pancreatic insufficiency?

Sorry to hear about the cancer and im glad its cleared up. Id say go for a more glucosomine based suppliment to aid reglaur joint movement rather than a suppliment to help bowel function. If hes on a senior kibble things like feniguc (sp!!) will already be in this, kibbles use different ingredients to help this so by adding extras to it you could well unballance the formula - what is it your feeding him at the moment?
Dorwest herbs are probably the best company as far as suppliments so you might want to have a look at their website, some products are expensive but well worth their money - the glucosomine+ chondrotin tablets are probably the best on the market though they do suppliments to cover all ills really.
You could boost the stomach enzymes by using a live natural yoghurt for a month which will replace essential enzymes for digestion. Id only use this for a limited time though
