Digestive Enzymes – May Add Years to Your Dog’s Life Digestive enzymes are produced by the pancreas in our dog’s bodies naturally to assist in the digestion of food. It is thought that the pancreas can only produce a finite amount of digestive enzymes in its lifetime, and therefore including raw food that is enzyme rich in the diet is necessary for long term good health. Are you wondering if your dog consumes enough enzymes for optimal health? Dogs and cats eating raw pet food consume lots of digestive enzymes found in abundance in both raw meat and in raw fruits and vegetables. Dogs that are fed raw, green, unbleached tripe benefit from the rich digestive enzymes contained in the stomach of beef, buffalo, lamb, goat, and venison. Are you feeding your dog commercially prepared cooked pet foods that contain no enzymes? Increase the number of digestive enzymes your dog gets by the addition of fresh, ripe fruits and vegetables. Your dog won’t eat fruits and vegetables? Digestive enzyme supplements can and should be add to the dog’s diet when it contains no fresh food.
