## Overview

Animal Essentials Plant Enzyme & Probiotics is a 10.6 oz plant-based powder supplement designed for dogs and cats to enhance digestion, nutrient absorption, and gut balance. Featuring a potent blend of plant and microbial enzymes plus probiotics, it supports the entire digestive system across a broad pH range. Easy to dose daily, this vet-developed formula helps aging and sensitive pets maintain digestive health naturally, promoting regularity and overall vitality without animal-derived ingredients.

## Description

Animal Essentials' Plant Enzymes & Probiotics relieves the extra burden placed on the digestive system by breaking down fats, carbohydrates, cellulose and protein. It contains a blend of plant and microbial produced enzymes, none of which come from animal sources. Animal derived enzymes will work in only one area of the digestive system (stomach and intestines), while plant and microbial enzymes work throughout the whole system. Since our enzymes also work over a broader pH range they are active longer in the entire digestive process, reducing the food into usable components.

Review: My dog started with chronic diahrea, then got worse to malnourished- This helped, but please read my review for suggestions! - My fur-child began having allergy issues soon after she was full grown. It started with the chronic ear infections, and led into infections in her feet between her pads. Then the itching began. No amount of trips to the vet ever found any cause or solution, other than MORE ANTIBOITICS! and "Come back in 2 weeks.". At the suggestion of a pet store employee, I switched my pup to Grain Free food. The infections ended! When my pup was about 5, we began having non stop itching issues. We tried different foods, and found that gluten free seem to reduce itching. It was only a few months later though that the digestive issues began. For the past two years I have been trying (obviously thoroughly trying an option and slowly introducing or removing ingredients/factors) to find THE food that would make my girl 'regular' again. For about 6 months my homemade food worked wonders (turkey/pumpkin/spinach/berries/calcium/turmeric/fat free cottage cheese/chicken gizzards...etc). Then it too quit working, and it's been a downward avalanche for over a year. She always tests negative for infections or worms, but continues to have diarrhea. In the past 6 months, there has been no relief or regularity. We had newspapers down at night in case my husband I were to sleep through her needing to go outside (pet door not an option). Some nights she would have up to 4 accidents, no matter what we tried with food type, timing, size and frequency of meals, additives, and on and on. This supplement was another whim to try. Our girl has lost a couple of pounds that she didn't need to in the past few months, so we believe she may have EPI and/or colitis in some combination. She has been on this supplement now for 3 1/2 weeks. It hasn't cured her and made her perfect, but she has gained 2 pounds back (which is a huge relief and progress!! Finally!), the accidents have stopped completely, and she's 'regular' in her timing. Once in the morning, once in the evening- for over three weeks. While I still am on the hunt to get the 'perfect poo', at least with this supplement she is actually getting nutrition from her food, and maintaining control over her movements. We all sleep better at night, and I can tell that my girl is happy to have some relief. In comparison to a lot of other products that we have tried with similar claims at a much bigger price tag, I am thrilled at the results we have gotten. I am going to add in Honest Kitchen's digestion blend to see if between these two supplements I can acquire the 'perfect poo'. I will update my post if I get good results. 9/2/16 Update: My IBS EPI dog is now 'regular' and healthy with Olewo carrots, Honest Kitchen Perfect Form, and Animal Essentials Plant Enzymes. It took some trial and error to find the required dosage and mix, but my girl has been perfect and on a 2x routine for 2 months now! I found my dosage to be 1/2tsp of each supplement fed with eat meal 2x a day for my 40lb dog. 4/26/17 Update: My pup held stable for over 6 months before she started loosing weight again. No adjusting of food or supplements seemed to help, and the final scare was when she started vomiting after every meal- I made an appointment for the vet the next morning and just gave my girl pumpkin and broth until then. The very expensive lesson I learned that I want to share with anyone who is suffering through anything like this is that my malnourished dog (who eats 3lbs of food a day to try and maintain a weight of 38lbs) is unable to consume and absorb vitamin B. Initially she started with b12 and b complex shots every other day for a week, then weekly, and currently biweekly. She is finally almost her ideal weight after 3 months of getting these shots (I currently use a B Complex available at TSC for stressed livestock), and retaining her Darwins diet, with this enzyme and probiotics. I have also added LGlutamine and Colostrum (500mg 2x a day) to her regimen. 9/17/18 update: We are now going to the vet for a monthly B12-complex shot. I switched from Darwins Raw to Raw Paws Pet food, the main difference being Darwins including a good portion of their recipe with veggies, of one (or more?) that my girl was still showing sensitivities to. Raw Paws Pet food is available in a 'with veggies' recipe or just meat formula. She's now only eating about a pound of food a day (used to be 3!!!) and is 47 pounds! I do still give her a tablespoon of canned pumpkin, as well as this enzyme, and glucosamine. We've been doing this for about 8 months now.
Review: Exceeded my expectations! - I purchased this product after researching potential causes for my dog's random & unexplainable intestinal issues (colitis, possible IBD) which started when Hills Prescription Diet reformulated their I/D canned food. A bland homemade diet of chicken & rice failed to resolve my pet's issues, and research suggested that amongst other things, adding probiotics to your pets diet *could* help. Wanting to exhaust natural remedies before moving onto expensive tests and medications, I decided to give it a shot. I chose AEPE&P because it contained a few additional ingredients that according to research, could also be beneficial. I started adding the recommended dose to my dog's kibble (and only kibble) during each meal (2x/day). Within 2 days she seemed constipated so I cut back to 1x/day. Within another 2 days, I knew I'd struck gold. My pooch went from a mopey, listless, every-other-poop-was-a-gelatinous-and-bloody-mess pet to an animated, perky, normal pooper pet! For the past few weeks I have added the powder to her kibble every morning and watched her eating like a hawk (just to make sure nothing snuck in her mouth to ruin the happy effects). She has totally turned a corner and I am ecstatic (and relieved)! She has more energy and seems much happier - she's actually playing by herself now (before she wouldn't unless someone played with her)!!! It's only been 3 weeks and so far not a single instance of diarrhea, and even her vomiting (which was mostly water anyway) isn't as frequent. And her poop...it's the normal, smelly, semi-solid, same-color-and-consistency-every-time kind now. Hooray! Bottom line, I am totally thrilled with this product and HIGHLY recommend it for someone who wants to supplement their pet's diet with probiotics. I realize I took a risk in self-diagnosing my dog and trying this product without discussing it with my vet first, but that's a separate issue. I just want to rave about the product because it's been such a lifesaver and it's made such a huge difference in my dog's overall health. I will use AEPE&P for the rest of her natural life!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This probiotic works
*by R***B on April 10, 2026*

This probiotic really works. I gave a Chihuahua with a sensitive tummy and he gets 1/4 tsp a day with his breakfast. It keeps his poops firm. I also give to my two Shih Tzus a few times a week. I've been using this for years and it really works
