FOURFLAX Probiotics - Dog Supplement

Overview

Older dogs often slow down in ways that catch you by surprise. One week they are racing around the yard and the next they seem stiff after a short walk or off their food for no clear reason. The Fourflax Senior Dog Supplement is made to give aging dogs a bit of steady support where they need it most. It helps with digestion, immunity and joint comfort, which are three of the first areas to wobble as dogs get older. Many owners use it when their dog’s stools become irregular, when their appetite dips or when they start losing energy for the things they normally enjoy. The blend uses natural ingredients that work gently over time, helping settle the gut and improve nutrient uptake so your dog feels more like themselves again.

Product Features

• Helps restore healthy gut balance
  The mix of prebiotics and probiotics encourages a healthier spread of bacteria in the gut. Dogs with sensitive stomachs or loose stools often respond well once their digestive system settles into a better rhythm.
  
  

• Supports nutrient absorption
  Older dogs can struggle to make the most of their food. The ingredients in this blend help the digestive system break down nutrients more efficiently so the body can use them properly.
  
  

• Promotes better stool consistency
  The flax seed fibre and added prebiotic ingredients help firm up soft stools and support smoother bowel movements. This is useful for dogs prone to constipation, loose stools or anal gland issues.
  
  

• Natural support for overall immunity
  As dogs age, their natural defences slow down. This supplement includes yeast mannans, beta glucans and antioxidants that give their immune system steady, everyday support.
  
  

• Gentle on older tummies
  Everything in this blend is chosen for ease of digestion. Dogs that react to richer supplements often handle Fourflax more comfortably.

Usage Instructions

• Use the scoop inside the container to measure the amount your dog needs for their size, taking a moment to level it off so you are giving a steady dose each day. Mixing it into their usual meal works well, because the powder blends through easily once the food is lightly stirred, and most older dogs accept it without fuss.
  
  

• Fold the supplement through wet food or moistened kibble so it sticks properly rather than sitting on top. This helps dogs with picky habits or reduced appetite take it in without noticing a big change.
  
  

• Give the supplement a bit of time to settle in. Older tummies respond slowly, and you will usually see things shift over several days rather than straight away. Keep an eye on stools and overall comfort so you can spot gradual improvements.
  
  

• Make sure your dog has fresh water nearby after their meal, especially during the first week. Hydration helps the fibre do its job and supports more comfortable digestion as their system adjusts.
  
  

Daily Feeding Guide

• Dogs under 10 kg usually need one scoop each day, which is enough to support their digestion without overwhelming their small system.
  
  

• Dogs between 10 and 20 kg do well on one and a half scoops, giving them a balanced amount that supports regular bowel habits and nutrient absorption.
  
  

• Dogs in the 20 to 30 kg range benefit from two scoops, as their size and metabolism tend to need a slightly stronger daily level.
  
  

• Dogs over 30 kg settle nicely on two and a half scoops mixed into their main meal, giving them steady gut support without changing the flavour too much.
  
  

Important Notes (Don’ts)

• Do not increase the amount unless your vet recommends it, since adding too much too quickly can unsettle an older gut rather than help it.
  
  

• Avoid adding other new supplements at the same time. Stacking several new things into their diet can make it harder to tell what is helping and what is causing discomfort.
  
  

• Keep the product away from heat or damp areas, because moisture can affect the texture and reduce how well the supplement holds up once opened.
  
  

Compatibility

• Suitable for senior dogs across all breeds and body types, including those that have dealt with long-term tummy troubles or shifting digestion as they age.
  
  

• Works well alongside joint oils or mobility support products, although it is always worth checking with your vet if your dog takes medication or has a medical condition.
  
  

• Easy to add to daily feeding routines, making it a steady option for dogs that need ongoing digestive support rather than one-off fixes.

Care and Maintenance

• Store the container in a cool, dry spot out of the sun so the ingredients keep their full strength and remain pleasant to use.
  
  

• Seal the lid firmly after each scoop to stop moisture creeping in, since even a small amount can cause clumping and affect how cleanly the powder mixes into food.
  
  

• Try to finish the container within three months of opening, because this keeps the supplement fresh and ensures your dog gets the most benefit from each serving.
