My dog Stuart (collie/shepard mix) was having frequent bouts of colitis that did not correlate with type of food, activity, etc. I was able to get him on a diet where he stopped having mucusy stool, but was still having soft stool. This product has given formed stools, but based on weight he needs to take 4 capsules a day, so the one bottle for [$]lasts only one month.Other than that it has been a godsend.

My 2 year old Great Dane was so skinny, it looked like we were starving him! He was so full of energy and ate everything we gave him (8 cups of food a day), but he would not put on weight and every bowel movement was "p**p soup". We tried adding Prozyme to his food, but it didn't help. After some research, I changed his food to a low protein, higher grain food and started adding GI Support. What a huge difference! It took almost a month of starting the product, but now he has formed, and scoopable, stool and he's put on weight! I don't know what I'd do without GI Support!

I don't know WHY this product works but it does. My cat has IBD - he was losing weight - none of the treatments (special food) and medicaton worked long term. I started making his food (Chicken or Tilapia) and mixing a capsule in with the food.(Open the capsule and sprinkle on the food and mix well) He has gone from a low of 8.5 lbs. to over 11 lbs. While not 'curable' this product has made the illness manageable. Almost a miracle...

This worked really good at first, but its seems to have lost it's effectiveness as time went by. I am trying a different one now. If this one was all I could get I would buy it again

I have a cat that was diagnosed with IBD 22 mos ago. After 3 months on prednisone which was working to keep him eating and bowels sorta ok, I decided to see if there was anything I could give my cat to take him off the prednisone. This product is it!! We have been on it 1 1/2 years now and my cat has been living a healthy normal life and gained about 4 pounds since. Stools are completely normal. I am so thankful to have found this for I didnt want to keep my cat on a prescribed medicine for too long fearing it may cause other health problems down the road. This is wonderful stuff! And I am feeding him fancy feast also....chicken only please he says!!!!:)

My dog, Kissie is a two year old chocolate lab who is exuberant and a bit high strung. Last year, just before Christmas she started a pattern of jumping, racing around, and then vomiting whenever I let her in the house. The vet drew blood, put her on antibiotics and laxatives and talked about some expensive and invasive tests if she didn’t improve. About a week or so later I received your catalog and decided to try the GI support product, couldn’t hurt, might help. Results were almost immediate. The vomiting stopped completely and now, after 8 months, a capsule is part of our daily routine. It seems that the problem was simply a nervous stomach that flared up with excitement. Thanks for such an effective product that saved us a lot of aggravation. I plan to continue use of the product indefinitely.
Many thanks, Glenda

My 4 year old Corgi has had GI problems since he was a puppy. I have spent hundreds of dollars at the vet and many trips outside in the middle of the night due to his upset bowels.(Not to mention cleaning up plenty of accidents). I have been using this product for about a month, and it is amazing! No GI upsets, no trips out in the middle of the night. His bowel issues have disapeared completely! This is the best stuff!

my older dog has stomach upsets. This product which I administer in his food coated with peanut butter totally eliminates his gurgles and stomach upsets.

I would highly recommend this product. My 11-month old shih-tzu has been in and out of the vet since I got him last November for vomitting, allergies, diarehea, gastritis; you name it, he has gotten it. The vet told me that he might suffer from IBS. Since I have started these pills for Brosco, knock on wood, his stool has been normal and he hasnt had any diarehea or gastritis issues. It saves me money from not constantly bringing him to the vet when he has stomach issues. I love it and will keep buying this product for Brosco.

Our 9 year old Golden Retriever, Oscar, was diagnosed with terminal cancer in May of this year, and at the time of the diagnosis he could barely raise his head. Like many other adoring dog owners, we began an intensive program of homecooking special foods, etc. This helped for awhile, and, yes, Oscar was able to resume his every other day 3-mile walk that delighted him. However, eventually, he lost interest in the foods or he became unable to digest them, and my husband and I were at a loss. Then, during one of his walks, Oscar began to chew on particular leaves of young growing trees, and I intuitively allowed him to continue. For two weeks he ate these leaves, and his strength was again renewed. Our dog loving friends were fascinated as he began to look healthy again. Our vet was fascinated, too, as he found it unbelievable that not only could Oscar continue his walks, but that he was still alive. After researching the leaves with a specialist from a nursery, I learned that they were leaves from young elm trees (some variety). I researched further and learned about slippery elm extract, and searched for a dog friendly product. [...] I was delighted to read through the products and find one containing slippery elm extract. Since beginning to ingest these supplements, Oscar no longer is interested in eating the young elm tree leaves! He is now able to eat again, and continues to rebuild and strengthen his health. My husband and I are grateful beyond measure! We opted not to proceed with chemotherapy as we didn't want to affect Oscar's wonderful spirit; your products have allowed us to help him heal in the most wonderful, endearing way. We extend to you all our abundant thanks.

I won't tell you how much I spent trying to get Sami well after she developed what I thought was her first bout of severe IBD. Come to find out, she had had bouts of the disease all of her life and her Vet had treated her with the most radical of therapies including what I likened to Chemotherapy. I was at my witts end. I had had Sami, a darling 10 year old Maltese, for only six months following the passing of her original owner and was totally unaware of her medical problems. I had almost given up after six more months of constant, severe IBD problems. Nothing helped. The treatments, tests and medications as well as the "special diets" were fast taking me to the poorhouse and watching her get thinner and be in such discomfort was unbearable.. After the last visit to the Vet in May, I ordered GI Support for Sam. Within a few weeks, things began to improve. In all fairness, Sami does suffer from separation anxiety and I did go back to work shortly before she became ill so no doubt that contributed to her condition. I have since elected to work from home so that plus GI support has Sami's tummy back in shape. Another symptom Sami had, whether I left her alone or not, was a bad appetite. She was a picky eater, had to be hand fed most of the time and would not eat the same food twice. The big problem now is she wants to eat everything in sight and all of the time. She has gained back all of the weight she lost while she was ill. I can't tell you how good it is to see her happy and feeling good. Thank you for GI Support. Oh, and I can leave Sami home once in a while now without her becomming ill. I am extremely grateful and a believer. Now Sami and I are both easier to live with.

Our Samoyed has had digestive problems for close to a year. She frequently had diarhea and went from 65lbs (a little overweight) down to 32lbs. We've tried changes in diet, blood tests, and a biopsy until our vet didn't know anything more to do. After starting Only Natural Pet GI Support about a month ago, she has gained weight and is now up to 37 lbs (still a little low). We were worried we would lose her but she's doing much better now.

We've been struggling with our dogs' stools for years, literally. One day it's perfect, the next it might be total mush and impossible to pick up. Although they are both on a natural raw diet, their digestive systems were unable to fight off upsets from the slightest irregularity. They each needed to be taken to the emergency vet on one occasion. They've been on GI support for about one month and we've only seen loose stools a couple of times. Each incident resolved itself by the next day without any intervention on my part. They are gaining weight and thriving!

My dog has always had GI problems. This product has change his life. He no longer has loose stools and a continuous upset stomach. It also helps his skin allergies and ear problems. He will be on this for the rest of his life. I wish I had found it earlier.

My 2 small dogs have displayed IBS symptoms since they had a bout of Giardia nearly 9 months ago. I have tried all types of high quality food and tried to add bulk to their diet. They are a long-haired breed and this frequent diarrhea lead to almost daily baths (sometimes twice daily on a bad day). Natural Pet GI support has been the only product that has helped. I was shocked to see a change within a couple days and now after several weeks, their symptoms have nearly resolved. I have not seen any side effects at all.
Recently we brought home a new dog and I started him on Natural GI support for a few days to help with the food transition with great success. This is a great product to try for any pet experiencing chronic or occassional GI distress.

I give this product to my Italian Greyhound with IBD on a daily basis in conjunction with other natural supplements. I can't say for sure, but since she's been on this regimen, I haven't had to give her the drugs that her vet gave her, and only give those when she has a bad flare-up.

My 4yr. old Labrador Retriever has had intestinal distress for most of her life partially due to her medications. Other supplements did not help her as well as this one. I highly recommend GI Support to any dog on a drug therapy that causes an unbalance in the digestive tract!
from Colorado on 7/6/2007
GI Support is the BEST! I have an older dog that has loose stools consistantly, but a two pills with each meal and he is one happy dog and I am one happy owner.
I also have a younger German Shepherd that got Giardia. The medicine we received from our wonderful vet not only killed the bad bacteria in his system, but also the good bacteria. I tried everything, ONLY GI SUPPORT would get him back on track with his intestinal system.
If your dog has ANY intestinal issues this is the product to use. There are NO side effects, only GOOD results for my happy pets. I wouldn't live without it.
from Bellingham, WA on 7/3/2007
I first started using the GI Support on my dog, because he had horrible chronic diarrhea, no matter what brand of high quality food I fed him. Within 24 hours of administering 4 capsules, he had his 1st normal bowel movement. My mother's dog had the opposite condition: constipation. Same outcome (no pun intended)...by the next day he had a normal bowel movement. But the real success story is my geriatric cat: Last January, she suddenly began to vomit after every meal, which caused her to become quite lethargic, while rapidly losing weight. Ever since I began giving her the GI Support, her symptoms have disappeared. I encapsulate the product into size "3" gelatin capsules (much easier to put down the throat of a small cat), and use a "pill popper" to administer 1st thing in the morning. The product seems to coat her stomach, because now she can eat all day long, and she NEVER gets sick. No one believes she is almost 20 years-old! The herbs in this product really work.

I have used Thorne Gastriplex in the past; I prefer Only Natural GI Support: the ingredients are comparable but more complete.
This product was very helpful as I transitioned my Golden, who has often manifested IBS-like symptoms, to Nature's Variety raw diet. He transitioned very quickly and without any problem.
