Rescue-K9 | Rapid Relief For Digestive Emergencies (10 Sachets)

Sometimes life events happen. Everyone goes through periods of stress, challenge and sensitivity and our dogs are no different. In these moments, the last thing your dog needs is an upset tummy!

Whether they’re just picking up on the emotions, or they’ve nibbled something when no one was looking, the occasional episode of loose stools can happen at the worst time.

Rescue-K9 Max Strength is the superhero of the probiotic world. There’s a lot of power packed into that little sachet to provide your dog with fast action relief with a powerful blend of super firming fibres to improve the consistency and regularity of stools, multiple strains of probiotics supported with prebiotics to restore the natural gut microbiome, and an energy source to support the cells of the digestive tract.

Yes! The only thing that affects the daily dosage of Rescue-K9 Max Strength is your dog’s size. See our feeding info chart for more details.

We've produced Rescue-K9 Max Strength as a powder supplement so it can easily be added to your dog's food. Simply measure based on the dosage on the back of the pack and mix! We love to spread ours on K9-Calm Mats for an extra enriching boost.

Yes! This works with any diet. The formula is designed to assist your dog’s gut – not upset it!

Gut Microbiota and Digestive Health in Dogs

The population of microorganisms in your dog’s gut plays a vital role in their overall health. These microorganisms:

• Assist with digestion.
• Protect against undesirable bacteria.
• Support the immune system [1].

Disruption of Gut Microorganisms

An imbalance in these microorganisms, whether caused by stress, infection, or a reaction to food, can result in digestive upset and symptoms like diarrhoea.

Benefits of Probiotics

• Probiotics offer significant health benefits for dogs by:
• Improving the composition and function of gut microbiota.
• Reducing the abundance of opportunistic pathogenic bacteria [2, 3].
• Probiotics are particularly effective in resolving diarrhoea and promoting gut health.

Rescue-K9 Formula

Rescue-K9 contains two key gut microbiome stabilisers and prebiotics that:

• Feed and encourage the growth of friendly probiotics [4].
• Provide an energy source for gut cells.
• Improve the gut surface area, enhancing nutrient absorption.
• Possess anti-carcinogenic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Probio-K9 Max Strength is a supplement meant for daily use to support dogs with sensitive tummies. Rescue-K9 Max Strength comes in sachet form, to keep on-hand ready for those days when a stronger probiotic is required.

Because the ingredients in our supplements are all-natural and have been formulated by vets and nutritionists, they can usually be used in conjunction with prescription medication. We would always recommend that you consult with your vet before changing your dog’s diet if your dog is on prescription medication.

It's not recommended to feed Rescue-K9 Max Strength every day. We would advise speaking to your vet if your dog has ongoing diarrhoea. If you are looking for a daily supplement to support your dog's digestive system, why not try Probio-K9 Max Strength, the perfect every day formulation.
