I’ve used this product for many years. It’s my first-in-line “go to” product in my arsenal of solutions for pet gut issues. I’ve used this on cats and dogs - many times, many different breeds.Perhaps the most difficult part is figuring out how to use this for optimal delivery, so I’ll share my insight. Invest in a small (no-needle) syringe, like a 10 mil - or even 20mil, I suppose (depends on the size of the dog). This costs like 10 cents. You’ll use one hand to secure the dogs lips on one side of the mouth and point the nose up into the air. Use your other hand to manage, administering the product through the syringe. When loading the product into the syringe, your push the product into the syringe via the syringe’s open end and then put the syringe stopper in the syringe before administering to your pet. When administering this product to your pet, you’ll need both hands. One hand will grab your dog’s lips on one side and also point it’s nose up (like the dog is looking up). Then put the point of the syringe into the side of the mouth via in the back corner of the lips opening (cheek) and aim/point syringe toward the back of the throat. The goal is for the product to feed through the syringe behind the pet’s back teeth on the side and behind or past the tongue, so that the product loads down into the back of the throat. This gives the best chance of them swallowing it down - helps prevent them from being able to use their tongue to urge it to the front of their mouth and then out of the mouth. This method also tends to bypass the gag reflex. For those people who know how to deliver pet pills this way, it’s the same way you deliver pet pills directly to the back of the dog’s throat.No more than twice daily, in my view.No more than 3 days in a row without getting a professional veterinarian’s help.Volume of dosage - depends on weight/size. Read the label and ask the manufacturer. I might give a 20 pound dog about a teaspoon full. I might give 100 pound dog about one and a half tablespoons full. But that’s me. You should follow the manufacturers instructions on dosage.The gastric calming affect is very rapid. Poop will firm up promptly. This calms the intestines quickly and in a really powerful way.I use this on dogs that have gastric issues, like loose stools or chronic gas. I give this in a good dose about once a day, and never use it more than three days in a row. If the loose stools or gastric upset is excessively bad, then I may be tempted to give this twice a day, as in once every 12 hours.If your pet needs this product frequently, it likely has a significant diet issue - change the diet carefully and with great consideration. Or it could mean your pet has a serious health issue that needs a vet’s intervention.After many years of using this product on my pets, I’ve never had a negative reaction on any pet, given the above methodology. Also important is the fact that every animal I dosed with this product had a positive response of getting a calmed gut.Be aware that a lot of vets won’t know about this product. So bring it with you to any vet visit in case you need to discuss.As an aside, this is not a product you would use for bloat. There is a great remedy with apple cider vinegar (with water) for bloat. But for pretty much all other gut issues, this is a great product and a great first line of defense for pet health. That’s my view after many years of using this product. Hope this helps you help your pet!
