If Maximum Gut Health is the daily garden maintenance, Digest Plus is what you reach for after the storm. Loose, soft stools are more than an inconvenience — when stools lack firmness, they may not provide enough natural pressure to support the normal emptying of your dog’s anal glands as they pass a movement.

Over time, this can lead to the scooting and discomfort that many owners recognise but few connect back to stool consistency. Digest Plus works at the root of the problem: pumpkin fibre helps support normal stool firmness, the probiotic yeast contributes to a balanced gut microflora, and the mineral adsorbents help settle a disrupted digestive tract. Firmer stools. A more comfortable dog. Use it when needed — then let Maximum Gut Health maintain what Digest Plus has restored.

Who is it For?

✔ Dogs with loose, soft, or inconsistent stools

How it Works - Ingredients Breakdown

Pumpkin Fibre - both soluble and insoluble fibre that helps support normal stool firmness and bulk. Firm, well-formed stools are better positioned to support the natural expression of the anal glands as your dog passes a movement — this is why pumpkin is the most widely used ingredient in anal gland support formulas.
Probiotic Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) - a resilient probiotic strain that survives the acidic environment of the stomach and reaches the intestines intact. Unlike bacterial probiotics, it is not disrupted by antibiotics — making it particularly useful during or after antibiotic treatment.
Prebiotics (FOS and MOS) - contribute to a balanced gut microflora and support the digestive environment from which normal stool quality and anal gland health both stem.
Natural Fibres - work alongside pumpkin to help support normal stool consistency, and provide fermentable material that feeds beneficial bacteria as the microbiome rebalances.
Mineral Adsorbents - contribute to a settled digestive tract by supporting normal digestive function during periods of disruption.
Beta Glucans and Nucleotides - support normal gut wall integrity and the healthy renewal of gut lining cells, contributing to overall digestive tract health.

How to Feed Digest Plus?

If your dog has ongoing anal gland issues, daily feeding is the most effective approach. Many owners notice a significant difference within 2–4 weeks.
Digest Plus is designed to flex around your dog’s needs:

Short course: Use during and after antibiotics, illness, or a diet change, then stop once things have settled.
As needed: Keep a pack on the shelf and feed whenever digestion is unsettled, stools soften, or you notice your dog scooting.
Daily: For dogs with recurring anal gland issues or persistently soft stools, consistent daily feeding gives the best results by maintaining the stool firmness that supports normal gland expression.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Maximum Gut Health and Gut Health Digest Plus?

Maximum Gut Health for Dogs is your dog’s daily gut supplement. It’s a prebiotic formula designed to feed beneficial gut bacteria, maintain a balanced microbiome, and support your dog’s overall wellbeing every day, long-term. Think of it as daily garden maintenance. Gut Health Digest Plus is a targeted formula for when the gut needs more
than maintenance. It adds pumpkin fibre, probiotic yeast, and mineral adsorbents to specifically support normal stool firmness, normal anal gland function, and digestive recovery after disruption. Use it short-term after
antibiotics or illness, as needed when digestion is unsettled, or daily if your dog has ongoing soft stools or recurring anal gland issues.

Not sure which to start with? If your dog has a current digestive problem — loose stools, scooting, recovering from antibiotics — start with Digest Plus. Then continue with Gut Health for long-term daily support. Many owners keep both on the shelf.

My dog keeps scooting. Can your supplements help?

Scooting is often a sign that a dog’s anal glands are not emptying naturally during a bowel movement. One of the most common reasons for this is that stools are too soft to provide the natural pressure needed to support gland expression. Firmer, well-formed stools are generally better positioned to support the natural emptying of the anal glands. Gut Health Digest Plus includes pumpkin fibre — the most widely used ingredient in anal gland support formulas — specifically to help support normal stool consistency and normal anal gland function. For dogs with recurring anal gland issues, daily feeding gives the best results. If your dog’s anal gland issues are frequent, painful, or have resulted in infection or impaction, always speak to your vet in the first instance.

Can I give gut supplements during a course of antibiotics?

Yes — and this is actually one of the best times to use Gut Health Digest Plus. Antibiotics can significantly disrupt the balance of gut bacteria, often leaving the digestive tract unsettled for some time after the course ends. Gut Health Digest Plus contains probiotic yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), which has a key advantage over bacterial probiotic strains: it is not affected by antibiotics. Bacterial probiotics can be wiped out by the very antibiotics they’re trying to counteract — yeast-based probiotics survive the treatment and continue to support the gut throughout. We recommend starting Digest Plus at the beginning of the antibiotic course and continuing for at least 2 weeks after it ends. Then transition to Maximum Gut Health for daily microbiome maintenance.

Is gut health really connected to my dog’s behaviour and mood?

Yes — and this is one of the most significant and underappreciated areas of canine health. The gut and brain are in constant two-way communication. The gut produces the majority of the body’s serotonin, the neurotransmitter most directly associated with calm and emotional stability. The balance of gut bacteria also directly influences the signals sent to the brain via the nervous system.

This is why a dog with ongoing digestive disruption may also seem anxious, reactive, or unsettled — and why supporting gut health is often a meaningful part of supporting calmer behaviour. It’s also the reason Maximum Focus & Calm includes gut support ingredients as part of its formula, and why feeding it alongside Maximum Gut Health can provide stronger results in highly reactive dogs.

Can puppies take gut supplements?

Yes. Maximum Gut Health for Dogs is suitable for dogs of all ages including puppies. The early months of a puppy’s life are actually a critical window for establishing a healthy gut microbiome, and supporting that process from the start can contribute to long-term digestive and immune health. Feed at the appropriate rate for your puppy’s current weight.

Can pregnant or nursing dogs take your gut supplements?

Maximum Gut Health for Dogs is suitable for pregnant and nursing dogs. The ingredients are well-tolerated and supporting the gut microbiome during this period can also benefit the developing puppies. As always, if you have any specific concerns about your dog’s health during pregnancy, speak to your vet.
