OptaGest is a daily digestive supplement for dogs and cats from In Clover, the makers of our best-selling joint supplement. OptaGest is unique in that it contains the prebiotic inulin as well as digestive enzymes. It does not contain probiotics since these can lose most of their effectiveness as they travel through a pet’s digestive tract.
Prebiotics are the “food” that allow existing probiotics to work their digestive magic. Adding prebiotics to your pet’s diet benefits both the immune and digestive systems by increasing the quantity of good bacteria.
Pets under stress, aging or experiencing difficulty with food transition can benefit from OptaGest. It works quickly, in harmony with your pet’s metabolism, and results are normally seen within 3-5 days. Try a 2 gram single serve sample for just $1.00, or 5 for $3.00
