Standard Process Canine Enteric Support

I am Dr. Candy Akers and in my years of practice, I’ve come to realize the profound truth in Dr. Alessio Fasano’s words, “Your gut is not Las Vegas. What happens in the gut does not stay in the gut.” This statement underscores the intricate connection between the enteric system and overall health, a concept that is often overlooked.

The enteric system, often referred to as the second brain, is a complex network that includes not only the stomach, intestines, and colon but extends to the mouth, salivary glands, liver, and pancreas. It plays a pivotal role in the immune and central nervous systems. A staggering 75% of our immune system is rooted in the gut, and it is the birthplace of 70% of serotonin, the body’s mood stabilizer.

In today’s world, our pets’ enteric systems are under siege. The culprits range from overly processed foods to the antiseptic properties of chlorine in water and the pervasive presence of glyphosates. These elements disrupt the delicate balance of the gastrointestinal tract, leading to a cascade of health issues.

The ingredients in this supplement are its cornerstone. Each component is selected for its potency and efficacy in restoring and maintaining a balanced enteric system. They work synergistically to bolster the immune system, enhance mood regulation, and promote overall vitality.

In my professional journey, the health of the enteric system has emerged as a cornerstone for holistic well-being. It’s not just about treating symptoms but addressing the root cause. A healthy gut is the foundation of a vibrant, energetic life for our beloved pets. Every dog owner should prioritize this aspect of health, armed with knowledge and the right tools, like the Canine Enteric Support Supplement, to ensure their pets live their best, healthiest lives.

The following information is a summary and review based on Dr. Candy’s professional experience and recommendations. Any summary or statement has not been provided nor influenced by the manufacturer.

Common Signs That Your Dog May Benefit From Enteric Support

Poor Skin and Coat Conditions: A lackluster coat and irritated skin often point to underlying gastrointestinal issues.
Cloudy Eyes: An indication of internal imbalance, often rooted in gut health.
Gassiness and Foul Fecal Odor: Excessive gas and unpleasant odor can signify a disrupted enteric system.
Weight Loss or Weight Gain: Unexplained changes in weight are often linked to gastrointestinal health.
Stiffness or Arthritis: Inflammation in the joints can be exacerbated by poor gut health.
Undigested Food in Feces: A clear sign that the digestive system is not processing food efficiently.
Extremely Large Bowel Movements: Indicates that nutrients are not being adequately absorbed by the body.
Vomiting Bile: A symptom of an irritated or inflamed gastrointestinal tract.
Food Allergies: Often develop when the gut’s barrier function is compromised.
Excessive Shedding: Can be a result of nutritional deficiencies linked to poor gut health.
Diarrhea and/or Vomiting: Acute symptoms of an underlying gastrointestinal issue.
Mucous and/or Blood in Stool: A serious indication of inflammation or infection in the gastrointestinal tract.

Each of these signs is a potential indicator that your dog’s enteric system may be compromised. Addressing gut health can alleviate these symptoms and promote overall well-being. The Standard Process Canine Enteric Support Supplement is a resource I often recommend for restoring balance and vitality.

Important Supplement Information:

These supplements should all be given twice a day.
Most clients sprinkle it on their pet’s food.
Because these supplements are made from whole foods, and not chemicals, doses are highly palatable. In fact, it often seems like animals instinctively know what their body needs and gobble it up quickly.

When beginning supplementation, I recommend the following taper-up process. This is only because these ingredients are so nutrient-dense. We can decrease your pet’s adjustment period, which may result in a soft stool. This adjustment phase is generally 1-2 days long and normal consistency of stool will return to normal without treatment.

WEEK 1 1/8 teaspoon
WEEK 2 ¼ teaspoon
WEEK 3 ½ teaspoon
WEEK 4 1 teaspoon

Once you get to your pet’s maintenance dose, based on the dosage chart, continue at this dose.

For example: If your pet weighs 35 lbs –

WEEK 1 1/8 teaspoon
WEEK 2 ¼ teaspoon
WEEK 3 Stay at ¼ teaspoon as a maintenance therapeutic dose

Side Effect of Standard Process Canine Enteric Support

Since these nutritional supplements are made from food, there is little to no risk of side effects. The only side effect I’ve ever seen is diarrhea if the pet gets a gigantic dose. For example, if a pet eats a whole bottle. If I had a dollar for every time one of my pets ate a whole bottle, I’d have a pretty full piggy bank. Since pets love these products so much, we recommend keeping them in a cabinet or someplace that your pet cannot get to.

A Note From the Manufacturer:

“Made for cats as well as dogs, Enteric Support brings together a combination as whole food nutrients and tissue factors. This combination provides synergistic, multidimensional support for the diseased intestinal tract. Intestinal physiology is a complex interaction of many physiologic activities. Therefore, the primary focus of this product is support of the intestinal mucosa, digestive secretions, intestinal motility, intestinal immunity, and liver. Providing nutrients and important substrates for each of these areas can facilitate both repair processes and optimal function.

Enteric Support is an important part of the support plan for all patients with GI disease. The range of ingredients supports the intestine in multiple ways that facilitate repair of the intestinal tract. Areas that are supported include salivary, gastric, biliary, and endocrine pancreatic secretions.

A healthy digestive tract is critical to the overall health and well-being of your pet. The digestive health of an animal can impact not only the breakdown and absorption of nutrients, but can also have a significant impact on other body systems such as the immune system, liver, bone marrow, or adrenal glands. Canine Enteric Support and Feline Enteric Support contain a variety of functional foods that “feed” the various parts of the digestive system.”
