Top 5 Benefits of Enzymes for Dogs and for Cats

Many a pet owner has used digestive enzymes to improve the health of their pets. But beyond the direct correlation to digestive support, there are other corresponding benefits for both dogs and cats. Though enzymes can help most dogs and cats of any age that need digestive support, they can be extremely beneficial to older pets.


The Top 5 Benefits of Enzymes for Dogs:

  1. Enhanced Nutrient Absorption: Enzymes (protease, lipase, amylase) break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, ensuring dogs get the maximum vitamins and minerals from their food.
  2. Improved Digestive Health: They reduce common issues like bloating, gas, diarrhea, and constipation by assisting in the breakdown of food, making it easier for the gut to process.
  3. Support for EPI and Chronic Conditions: For dogs with Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI) or pancreatitis, these enzymes are critical for survival, allowing them to gain weight and absorb nutrients when their pancreas cannot produce enough naturally.
  4. Boosted Immune System: By improving gut health and ensuring better nutrient absorption, enzymes reduce the burden on the immune system, leading to better overall health.
  5. Better Skin, Coat, and Energy: Improved nutrient uptake can lead to healthier skin, reduced excessive shedding, and increased energy/vitality, especially in aging dogs. 


Top 5 Benefits of Enzymes for Cats:

  1. Improved Nutrient Absorption: Enzymes break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates into smaller molecules, allowing the body to absorb more nutrients from food, which is crucial for overall health.
  2. Reduced Gastrointestinal Distress: They help manage and reduce common digestive issues, including vomiting, diarrhea, bloating, and gas.
  3. Support for Sensitive Stomach and Chronic Issues: Enzymes aid in managing conditions like Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD) and food sensitivities by facilitating easier digestion.
  4. Boosted Immune System: By aiding digestion and reducing the workload on the pancreas, enzymes help eliminate toxins and support a stronger immune system.
  5. Better Skin and Coat Health: Improved digestion of nutrients leads to better absorption of fatty acids, resulting in less skin irritation, reduced excessive shedding, and a healthier coat


What  About Systemic Enzymes?

Systemic enzymes for pets offer comprehensive health support beyond digestion, acting throughout the body to reduce inflammation, boost the immune system, and aid in healing. They help break down waste, toxins, and undigested proteins in the blood, promoting joint mobility, skin health, and cardiovascular wellness. 

Key benefits of systemic enzymes for pets include:

  • Reduced Inflammation and Pain: They help manage chronic inflammation, making them beneficial for pets with joint issues, arthritis, or injuries.
  • Immune System Support: These enzymes aid in removing toxins and waste, reducing the load on the immune system.
  • Improved Mobility: By breaking down abnormal tissue and inflammation, they can increase comfort and movement in older pets.
  • Cardiovascular Support: They promote a healthy, clear bloodstream, supporting normal circulation.
  • Respiratory Health: They support better breathing and airway function.
