Why Gut Health Matters for Dogs & Cats
Digestive health plays a major role in the overall wellbeing of our dogs and cats. From immune function and skin health to allergies and nutrient absorption, the gut affects far more than just digestion.
That’s why we created Pawtese Colostrum Complex Powder — a carefully selected blend of natural ingredients designed to support gut health, immune balance, and skin condition in pets with sensitivities.
Did you know that a large portion of the immune system is located in the gut?
When the digestive system becomes irritated or imbalanced, pets may experience:
Sensitive stomachs
Loose stools
Food intolerances
Seasonal allergies
Excessive licking or scratching
Skin irritation
Reduced nutrient absorption
Supporting the gut can help maintain a healthier immune response and improve overall wellbeing.
What Makes Pawtese Colostrum Complex Different?
Our formula combines soothing botanicals, prebiotics, antioxidants, and immune-supportive ingredients in one gentle daily supplement.
Colostrum
Colostrum is rich in immunoglobulins and growth factors that help support the gut lining, immune system, and recovery from digestive upset.
Marshmallow Root Extract
Traditionally used to soothe and coat the digestive tract, marshmallow root helps support sensitive stomachs and irritated intestines.
Quercetin
Often referred to as “nature’s antihistamine,” quercetin helps support a normal inflammatory response and may assist pets with environmental sensitivities.
Pectin & Inulin
These gentle fibers help nourish beneficial gut bacteria and support healthy stool consistency and microbiome balance.
Nettle Extract
Nettle is traditionally used to support skin health, seasonal allergy support, and overall wellness.
Pomegranate Extract
A natural antioxidant source that helps protect cells from oxidative stress and supports healthy aging.
Zinc
An essential mineral that contributes to skin health, immune function, and tissue repair.
Curcumin (Cavacurmin)
A highly bioavailable form of curcumin that provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support.
Designed for Sensitive Pets
Pawtese Colostrum Complex Powder was created for dogs and cats needing gentle daily digestive and immune support.
It may be especially beneficial for pets experiencing:
Digestive sensitivities
Seasonal allergies
Skin irritation
Gut imbalance
Recovery after digestive upset
Natural Support for Everyday Wellness
At Betty's, we believe in supporting pets with thoughtfully selected ingredients inspired by nature and backed by nutritional science.
Our Colostrum Complex Powder is designed to work alongside a balanced diet to help support your pet’s gut, immune system, and overall vitality naturally.
Because healthy pets start from within.
