Natural Digestive & Detox Support for Dogs & Cats
Bentonite clay is a naturally occurring mineral-rich clay that has been used for generations to support digestive health. When mixed with water, it has a strong adsorptive capacity, meaning it can attract and bind certain toxins, unwanted compounds, bacteria, and excess moisture within the digestive tract, allowing them to be eliminated through the stool.

- Supports normal bowel function during occasional digestive upset.
- Helps reduce excess gas and bloating.
