Digest is a natural supply of digestive enzymes, bovine pancreas and soil-based probiotics to support a healthy gut and digestion.
Note: If your dog suffers from EPI (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency), you can add liquid to the Digest powder and let it stand for 20-60 minutes.
For Healthy Pancreas & Digestive Function
Digest is expertly formulated to support your dog's digestive health. Senior dogs, dogs with some digestive issues and dogs eating processed diets might struggle to produce enough enzymes. Digest helps support healthy pancreas & digestive organ function, proper digestion and the body's natural resistance to yeast.
Healthy digestion: Digest ensures your dog gets the most out of their food by breaking down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.
Supports pancreatic health: Aids the pancreas in digestive enzyme production.
Liver support: With organic broccoli sprouts to help detoxify from everyday toxins.
Ideal for all diets: Works well with kibble, raw, and home-cooked diets.
Veterinarian formulated: Formulated by a holistic veterinarian for maximum safety and benefit.
Premium Ingredients
100% grass-fed beef pancreas
Digest contains freeze-dried beef pancreas from hormone and BSE-free New Zealand cattle for a pure and natural source of digestive enzymes including protease, amylase, lipase, and trypsin.
Organic broccoli sprout powder
Broccoli sprouts are the young shoots of the broccoli plant, renowned for their high concentration of sulforaphane, a compound with potent antioxidant and immune-supporting properties. Sulforaphane has been linked to a a balanced inflammatory response, heart health and enhanced detoxification of toxins and heavy metals. Additionally, the phytochemicals in broccoli sprouts support digestive health.
Organic alfalfa juice
Alfalfa juice, derived from the young shoots of the alfalfa plant, is known for its detoxifying properties, aiding in liver health and supporting healthy digestion. Additionally, alfalfa juice has been associated with good metabolic health and a balanced immune response.
Ox bile
Ox bile, derived from the bile of oxen, is used to aid in the digestion and absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) in dogs with compromised bile production. It contains bile acids that are critical for the emulsification of dietary fats, making it easier for enzymes to break them down, which can help improve nutrient absorption and support overall digestive health.
Cellulase (trichoderma longibrachiatum)
Cellulase is an enzyme complex that breaks down cellulose, a plant fiber, into glucose, aiding in the digestion of fiber that's otherwise indigestible by dogs. This process can support overall digestive health, enhance nutrient absorption, and may help with issues such as bloating and gas associated with the consumption of high-fiber diets. Additionally, by breaking down cellulose, cellulase can contribute to a more balanced gut flora and support the maintenance of healthy blood sugar levels.
Bromelain
Bromelain is an enzyme found in the pineapple plant, particularly found in the fruit, stem, and juice. Bromelain helps digest proteins and supports a normal inflammatory response.
Bacillus subtilis
Bacillus subtilis is a probiotic bacteria found in soil and the canine gut. B. subtilis is known for its ability to support a healthy gut microbiome, enhance digestive health and support immune function. It produces byproducts that can help suppress harmful bacteria, promote the growth of beneficial bacteria and assist with nutrient absorption. Additionally, Bacillus subtilis has been associated with digestive enzyme production, aiding in the digestion of food and the supporting against gastrointestinal disorders.
Soil-based probiotics, like Bacillus subtilis, are often considered superior to other probiotics due to their exceptional resilience and ability to survive the acidic environment of the stomach, ensuring they reach the intestines where they can be most beneficial. Their inherent stability means they don't require refrigeration and maintain potency over time and their robust nature allows for a potentially broader impact on the gut microbiome.
Bacillus coagulans, bacillus subtilis blend
Bacillus coagulans is a soil-based probiotic that supports gut health by enhancing the balance of the intestinal microbiota, contributing to improved digestion and reducing symptoms of occasional bloating, gas, and diarrhea. It also supports the immune system by producing short-chain fatty acids, which are crucial for gut health and the natural resistance against chronic diseases.

Betaine hydrochloride
Betaine hydrochloride (HCl) supports digestive health by enhancing the digestion and absorption of nutrients, especially proteins, by lowering the pH in the stomach. The acidity created by betaine HCl can also help balance bacterial and fungal populations in the gut by creating an unfavorable environment for pathogenic organisms.
100% grass-fed beef liver
Our beef liver is freeze-dried from hormone and BSE-free New Zealand beef. Liver supports healthy liver function and provides important phytochemicals.
Invertase
Invertase is an enzyme that breaks down complex carbohydrates. It plays a crucial role in the digestive system by aiding in the breakdown of carbohydrate, facilitating easier absorption by the body.
Organic nettle
Nettle (Urtica dioica), is a plant with a long history of health benefits. It supports a healthy inflammatory and histamine response and assists natural detoxification processes.
Papain (papaya)
Papain is a proteolytic enzyme extracted from the papaya fruit, known for its ability to break down proteins, which can aid in digestion and assist with symptoms of indigestion, such as bloating and gas.
What is the best way to give Digest?
If you’re giving Digest to support your dog’s pancreas and digestive organs, give it as close to meal time as possible. If you’re using Digest to help your dog with yeast overgrowth, then make sure you give it a few hours away from meals. This is important as digestive enzymes can help break down yeast biofilm if they’re not busy digesting.
Will Digest help support my dog's immune system?
Digest provides natural enzymes for proper digestion. It helps support normal pancreas and organ function. Broccoli sprouts are added to supply your dog with the richest food source of sulforaphane. Sulforaphane helps with liver detoxification, immune health and is an important free radical scavenger.
How long is Digest Good For?
If you keep Digest at room temperature, it should last you up to 2 years. Do not keep Digest at hot temperatures because the heat kills off the delicate digestive enzymes your dog can benefit from.
Can I use Digest with Green Rover?
You can combine Digest with Green Rover. The extra dose of broccoli sprouts may cause excess gas in some dogs, so you may need to adjust the amount of Green Rover.
Should I store Digest in the fridge?
Yes, if you have room in your fridge we recommend you keep Digest stored inside. If not, make sure you keep it in a cool, dark place and use it within 60 days.
Should I continue to use Digest long-term after the Yeast-Free Fido kit?
It’s not necessary unless you want to give your dog extra pancreas or digestive support.
Can I give Digest instead of probiotics?
For most dogs, there are enough soil-based probiotics to make Digest an everyday probiotic. If you’re looking for probiotics that also support your dog from everyday toxins, then Protect would be a better choice.
