GUT GUARD (currently unavailable) is another veterinary-formulated blend of gut soothing ingredients that can help seal leaky guts and reduce gut inflammation. Healthy guts are the key to healthy dogs.
Your dog's small intestine and colon are home to trillions of bacteria and micro-organisms. These bugs are so critical to your dog's health, they control most of the immune system ... and can even talk directly to the brain.
These friendly bacteria eat starches and fibres your dog can't digest and use them to manufacture beneficial metabolites for your dog, such as his B vitamins, vitamin K, short chain fatty acids that control his immune system and inflammation, and amino acids. They also help protect your dog's gut lining.
This delicate balance of bugs can be disrupted by the wrong food, drugs and chemicals, heavy metals and antibiotics. This can allow harmful bacteria to colonise and their metabolites cause inflammation in the gut lining. This is called dysbiosis.
The gut lining is single layer of cells with tight spaces between. When the gut is inflamed, these spaces widen. This allows undigested protein, harmful bacteria and other inflammatory factors to escape the digestive tract and enter the body. This is called Leaky Gut. Because the toxins circulate the body and cause chronic, low-grade inflammation, leaky gut can cause chronic organ disease if not corrected.
Leaky Gut is the "great imitator" and is the root cause of many common inflammatory disorders. This includes allergies, yeast, arthritis, digestive issues, liver and kidney issues and more. If left unchecked, the chronic inflammation caused by leaky gut can even cause cancer.
Should Gut Guard be used after antibiotics or can it be started while my dog is still currently on antibiotics? Since antibiotics and other drugs can create damage to the gut, Gut Guard can help repair those issues and help to detox your dog from the toxins.
