Protexin Pro-Fibre for Dogs – Digestive Health Support
Protexin Pro-Fibre for Dogs is a dietary supplement formulated to enhance canine digestive health. It combines high-quality sources of soluble and insoluble fibres with prebiotics and probiotics to maintain a balanced gut environment. Regular use supports normal digestive function, promotes firm stools, and encourages overall well-being in dogs.
How Protexin Pro-Fibre for Dogs Works
Protexin Pro-Fibre operates through a synergistic blend of ingredients that collectively support gastrointestinal health:
-
Soluble and Insoluble Fibres: The supplement contains natural fibre sources, including psyllium husk and sugar beet pulp. Soluble fibres dissolve in water, forming a gel-like substance that aids in slowing digestion and enhancing nutrient absorption. Insoluble fibres add bulk to the stool, facilitating regular bowel movements and preventing constipation.
-
Prebiotics (Preplex®): Prebiotics are non-digestible compounds that serve as nourishment for beneficial gut bacteria. The inclusion of Preplex® prebiotic in Pro-Fibre fosters the growth of these advantageous microorganisms, thereby supporting a healthy intestinal flora balance.
-
Probiotics: These are live beneficial bacteria that, when ingested, colonise the gut and aid in maintaining an optimal microbial balance. The probiotics in Pro-Fibre help replenish and sustain healthy bacterial populations, which are essential for efficient digestion and immune function.

Benefits of Additional Fibre in Dogs' Diets
Incorporating adequate fibre into a dog's diet offers several health advantages:
Improved Digestive Health
Fibre plays a pivotal role in regulating the digestive system. Soluble fibre absorbs water, aiding in the formation of stools that are neither too loose nor too hard. Insoluble fibre adds bulk, facilitating the movement of waste through the intestines. This balance helps prevent gastrointestinal disturbances such as diarrhoea and constipation.
Weight Management
High-fibre diets can be beneficial for weight control. Fibre-rich foods tend to be lower in calories and can promote a feeling of fullness, reducing overall food intake. By increasing dietary fibre, dogs may experience enhanced satiety, which can aid in preventing overeating and managing obesity.
Anal Gland Health
Adequate fibre intake contributes to the production of firm stools, which apply pressure to the anal glands during defecation. This natural expression helps prevent impaction and inflammation of the anal glands, reducing discomfort and the need for manual expression.
Blood Sugar Regulation
Fibre can slow the absorption of sugars into the bloodstream, aiding in the regulation of blood glucose levels. This is particularly beneficial for dogs with diabetes, as a high-fibre diet can assist in maintaining more stable blood sugar levels.
Reduction of Hairballs
In breeds prone to hairballs, especially those with longer coats, fibre aids in the passage of ingested hair through the digestive tract. This reduces the formation of hairballs and associated discomfort.
Administration Guidelines
Protexin Pro-Fibre is designed for daily supplementation and can be easily incorporated into a dog's regular feeding regimen:
-
Dosage: Using the provided measure, add the recommended amount of Pro-Fibre to the dog's daily food. The specific dosage may vary based on the dog's size and individual needs; consulting with a veterinarian is advisable to determine the appropriate amount.
-
Method of Administration: The palatable pellet form can be mixed with the dog's regular meal. For finicky eaters, the pellets can be crumbled and thoroughly blended with the food to encourage acceptance.
-
Duration of Use: Pro-Fibre can be administered continuously as part of a daily routine or as directed by a veterinary professional, depending on the dog's specific health requirements.
