Today’s commercially processed pet foods lack the healthy, live enzymes your pet needs for proper digestion and overall health.
The high-heat processing used to produce canned food and dried kibble destroys any live enzymes present in the food. Enzymes are needed to help unlock food nutrients and aid in your pet’s digestion.
As your pet ages, production of enzymes declines. This decline can lead to unwanted consequences for your pet. Fortunately, Dr. Mercola formulated Digestive Enzymes for Pets to include cat- and dog-friendly enzymes to aid in the digestion of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
This complete formula includes betaine HCl, bromelain from pineapple, papain from papaya, and pancreatin, a blend of three animal-based pancreatic enzymes.
Animal-sourced enzymes offer many advantages over fungal- or plant-based enzymes for cats and dogs:
» They most closely mimic what you find in the ancestral animal’s prey’s GI tract.
» They provide pancreatin which replaces some of the pancreas of prey animals.
» They’re more appropriate for cats and dogs because they are meat-eaters.
Unlike many products available today, the ingredients used in the Digestive Enzyme for Pets are human grade – meaning, they’re not any different than those humans would take.

Provides beneficial enzymes to support your pet’s diet. Digestive enzymes help promote the absorption if essential nutrients by increasing the digestibility of food.
