Plant Enzyme and Probiotic Powder | Digestive Support
$21.86
Plant Enzyme & Probiotics is a daily digestive supplement powder that supports healthy digestion, nutrient absorption, and gut balance in dogs and cats. By supporting the entire digestive process—from the stomach to the gut microbiome—this powder promotes long-term digestive wellness.
Promotes a Balanced Gut Microbiome
Supports Healthy Digestion and Nutrient Absorption
Ideal for Sensitive Stomachs and Transitioning Diets
Reduces Occasional Bloating and Discomfort
Supports even better with:
Sea-Omega | Salmon-Pollock Oil | High in Omega 3 & 6 Fatty Acids | EPA | DHA
$25.64
Healthy Gut Herbal Tonic Blend | Prebiotic for Intestinal Well-Being
$20.76$10.38
Plant Enzyme & Probiotic is formulated to support every stage of your pet’s digestive process—from the breakdown of food in the stomach to the balance of healthy bacteria in the intestines. As pets age and face stress, illness, or dietary changes, their natural enzyme production may decline, leading to decreased nutrient absorption and an imbalanced gut microbiome. Our formula is designed to support both issues by combining a broad-spectrum blend of digestive enzymes with probiotics. We specifically chose Bacillus coagulans as our probiotic because it can survive the acidic environment of the stomach allowing it to actually reach the intestines.
Ideal for pets with sensitive stomachs, irregular digestion, transitioning diets, or recovering from antibiotic use, this powder supports both immediate digestive relief and long-term gut health.
Animal Essentials’ Plant Enzyme & Probiotic powder combines clean, plant-based digestive enzymes with a stabilized probiotic strain to support your pet’s gut without the use of fillers, dairy, or animal-based products. Unlike many enzyme products, this formula is shelf-stable and safe for daily use, helping pets of all ages maintain digestive efficiency and support a healthy gut microbiome. It's the ideal blend for sensitive stomachs and long-term digestive wellness—made with simplicity, purity, and your pet’s microbiome in mind.

Whole Herbs, Real Benefits
Amylase
A carbohydrate-digesting enzyme that breaks down starches into simple sugars for easy absorption. Amylase can help reduce fermentation in the gut that can lead to gas and bloating due to insufficiently digested food. Especially beneficial for pets eating kibble or diets where starch content is higher.
Amylase
Source: Aspergillus oryzae
Nutrients: Proteases and proteinases
Protease
This protein-digesting enzyme breaks large protein molecules into amino acids—the vital building blocks for muscle, skin, immune function, and repair. By aiding in protein breakdown, protease helps reduce the amount of undigested protein in the intestines, and helps relieve strain on the pancreas.
Protease
Source: Aspergillus oryzae
Lipase
Lipase targets dietary fats, breaking them down into fatty acids and glycerol that the body can absorb and use for energy. Supplementing a diet with extra lipase can help the body break down the otherwise undigested fats supporting efficient fat metabolism and bile flow.
Lipase
Source: Aspergillus niger
Nutrients: Enzyme
Cellulase
Cellulase digests cellulose, a tough plant fiber that dogs and cats cannot break down naturally. It helps reduce bulk in the stool, minimizes digestive irritation, and enhances nutrient release from plant-based ingredients.
Cellulase
Source: Trichoderma longibrachiatum
Nutrients: Enzyme
Bacillus coagulans
A probiotic strain that promotes a healthy gut microbiome, supports the immune system, and improves stool quality. This friendly bacteria helps repopulate the intestines with beneficial microbes, especially after antibiotics, illness, or digestive upset.
Bacillus coagulans
Nutrients: Probiotic
