What it is
Nutrimera Digestive Balance Chews are a daily supplement for dogs with unsettled stomachs. Each soft chew combines two absorbent ingredients — kaolin and pectin — with a seven-strain probiotic blend and a prebiotic fiber.
The absorbents go to work the same day. The probiotics take longer, which is exactly why both are in the same chew: you get help now and help later, instead of picking one.
Duck flavor, soft texture. No pills to hide, no paste to squeeze.
Who it's for
Dogs of any age or size who deal with:
- Occasional loose stool after a diet change, a new treat, or table scraps
- Stomach trouble tied to stress — travel, boarding, a move, a new pet in the house
- Stomach upset from eating something they found outside
- A generally sensitive stomach that needs steady, everyday support
Not for emergencies. If your dog is very sick, see a vet — details in the safety note further down this page.
How to use it
At the first sign of loose stool: give 1 chew per 20 lb of body weight, every 8 hours, until stool returns to normal. Keep this up for no more than 2 days without talking to your vet.
For daily maintenance: give half that amount once a day, with a meal.
Chews can be given straight from your hand or crumbled over food. The full weight chart is further down this page.
Giving antibiotics too? Space the chew 2–4 hours apart from the antibiotic.
Ingredients
Active per chew: Kaolin 500 mg, Pectin 200 mg, Fructooligosaccharide (FOS) 100 mg, and a 7-strain probiotic blend providing a minimum of 5 billion CFU.
Other ingredients: duck liver, brown rice flour, vegetable glycerin, coconut oil, sunflower lecithin, citric acid, mixed tocopherols (a natural preservative).
No artificial colors, no artificial flavors, no corn, no wheat, no soy.
Quality & testing
Made in the USA in an FDA-registered facility that follows cGMP standards — Current Good Manufacturing Practice, the rulebook for how supplements have to be made and documented.
Live bacteria are fragile, so every batch is tested twice: once when it’s made, and again near the end of its shelf life. That second test is the one that matters — it’s how we know the CFU count on the label is still there when the jar reaches your dog.
Shipping & returns
Free standard shipping on orders over $35, delivered in 3–5 business days.
If it doesn’t work for your dog, return it within 60 days for a full refund — even if the jar is open.
How it works
Most gut supplements only do half the job
Probiotics are genuinely useful. They’re also slow. It usually takes days to weeks for new bacteria to settle in and shift the balance in your dog’s gut. That’s fine as a long-term plan — and useless at 11 p.m. on a Tuesday when your dog can’t make it through the night.
So Nutrimera runs on two tracks at once.
Soak it up and hold it
Kaolin is a soft, natural clay that behaves like a sponge inside the intestine. It holds onto loose water — and onto the byproducts that irritated gut bacteria leave behind — so less of both stays in circulation. Firmer stool is the result.
Pectin is a fiber found in apple and citrus peel. When it meets water it forms a soft gel, which slows things down and helps hold water in the stool instead of losing it.
Neither one gets absorbed into your dog’s body. They travel through the gut, do their job, and leave.
Typically noticeable within 24–48 hours
Rebuild the balance
Your dog’s gut holds billions of bacteria. Stress, antibiotics, and sudden food changes can knock that population out of balance, which is often what starts the trouble in the first place.
Each chew delivers 5 billion CFU from 7 probiotic strains. CFU stands for colony-forming units — it’s just a count of living bacteria.
We also add FOS, a prebiotic fiber. Your dog can’t digest it, but the good bacteria can — so it’s essentially their food supply. Sending bacteria in without it is like dropping someone in a new city with no groceries. Researchers have a word for a supplement that includes both: a synbiotic.
Give it about 4 weeks of daily use
What’s inside
Three ingredients doing three specific things
Tap each one to see what it is and why it earned a spot in the chew.
Kaolin — the sponge
Kaolin is a fine white clay that has been used in digestive remedies for a very long time, in both animals and people. It works by physics, not chemistry. Its particles are tiny, which gives them an enormous amount of surface area — and anything with that much surface holds onto whatever it touches. In this case that means loose water and the irritating byproducts floating in it.
The practical result is simple — less free water in the gut means firmer stool. And because kaolin isn’t absorbed into the bloodstream, it stays where the problem is.
Pectin — the gel
Pectin is a soluble fiber that plants make naturally. It’s the same stuff that makes jam set. In your dog’s gut it does something similar: it absorbs water and turns into a soft gel.
That gel slows the trip through the intestine slightly and helps the body hold onto water instead of flushing it out. It’s also the reason plain pumpkin gets recommended for loose stool — pumpkin is one of many foods that contains pectin. This is a measured dose of the active part.
7-strain probiotic + FOS — the rebuild
Different bacteria do different jobs, so a blend covers more ground than a single strain. Nutrimera uses seven, led by Enterococcus faecium — the strain most commonly found in vet-recommended pet probiotics — alongside six Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains.
Then there’s FOS (fructooligosaccharide), a prebiotic fiber your dog can’t digest but the good bacteria can. It feeds them once they arrive, which helps them stick around instead of passing straight through.

When to reach for it
The situations that usually start it
Digestive upset almost never gives warning. These are the six most common triggers — if you recognize any of them, this is the moment the chew is built for.
A food or treat change
New kibble, a new brand, or a treat that didn’t agree with them.
Travel and boarding
Car rides, kennels, and strange water bowls upset a lot of stomachs.
Stress and change
Vet visits, a move, a new baby, a new pet. Stress shows up in the gut.
Stomach upset
They ate something off the sidewalk. It happens to everyone.
After antibiotics
Antibiotics clear out good bacteria along with bad. Give it a few hours’ gap.
A sensitive stomach
Some dogs are just built this way. Daily use gives them a steady floor.
How to use it
Dosed by weight, because a Yorkie isn’t a Lab
A 9 lb terrier and a 90 lb shepherd don’t need the same amount of anything. Find your dog’s weight, then follow the column that matches what you’re dealing with.
Weigh in
Use your dog’s current weight, not their puppy weight or their target weight.
Pick your mode
Active upset means more chews, more often. Daily maintenance is a smaller, steady dose.
Give it directly or on food
Most dogs take it as a treat. If yours is fussy, crumble it over a meal.
| Dog’s weight | Active upset — every 8 hours | Daily maintenance — once a day |
|---|---|---|
| Under 20 lb | 1 chew | 1 chew |
| 20 – 40 lb | 2 chews | 1 chew |
| 41 – 60 lb | 3 chews | 2 chews |
| 61 – 90 lb | 4 chews | 2 chews |
| Over 90 lb | 5 chews | 3 chews |
Giving antibiotics too? Space the chew 2–4 hours apart from the antibiotic. Antibiotics can kill the probiotics before they get where they’re going.
- Loose stool that lasts more than 48 hours, or gets worse
- Blood or a black, tarry look in the stool
- Repeated vomiting, or refusing water
- Low energy, a painful or swollen belly, or a fever
- Any diarrhea in a very young puppy, a senior dog, or a dog with a known health condition
How it compares
Against what most people try first
Plain pumpkin and probiotic-only powders both have a place. Here’s where each one stops short.
| Nutrimera | Probiotic-only powder | Pumpkin or plain fiber | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Helps firm stool in the first day or two | Yes | No | Sometimes |
| Live probiotics | 7 strains | 1–8 strains | None |
| Prebiotic to feed them | Yes | Sometimes | No |
| Guaranteed CFU at expiration | 5 billion | Varies | — |
| Dosed by your dog’s weight | Yes | Usually one scoop for all | Guesswork |
| Format dogs actually take | Duck-flavored chew | Powder on food | Spoonful of puree |
| Safe for everyday use | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Quality
Live bacteria are fragile. We plan around that.
A probiotic that says “5 billion CFU” on the front is only telling you what went in on day one. What matters is how much is still alive when your dog eats it — so we test at both ends.
Made in the USA
FDA-registered facility, cGMP standards
cGMP stands for Current Good Manufacturing Practice. In plain terms: written procedures for every step, records that can be checked, and ingredients that get verified before they go in.
Tested twice per batch
At manufacture and near end of shelf life
The second test is the honest one. If a batch can’t hold 5 billion CFU through its printed date, it doesn’t ship.
FAQ
Common questions
Is this a medication?
No. It’s a supplement made to support normal digestion and stool consistency. It isn’t a drug, it isn’t a substitute for veterinary care, and it won’t treat an infection, a parasite, or an obstruction.
How fast will I see a difference?
Two different answers, because there are two parts to the formula. The kaolin and pectin usually show up within 24 to 48 hours — that’s the firming you’ll notice first. The probiotic side is slower; plan on roughly four weeks of daily use before you judge it.
Can I give it every day, or only during a flare-up?
Both. Use the higher dose every 8 hours during an active bout, then drop to the once-a-day maintenance amount. Dogs with chronically sensitive stomachs often do best staying on the daily dose year-round.
Can this cause loose stool?
It’s uncommon, but any change to a dog’s routine — including adding a probiotic — can briefly unsettle their stomach while the gut adjusts. If it happens, cut the amount in half for a few days, then work back up. If it doesn’t settle, stop and check with your vet.
Does my dog need a prescription?
No. It’s an over-the-counter supplement. That said, if your dog has an ongoing GI condition, is on medication, or is pregnant or nursing, talk to your vet before starting anything new.
Can I give it with other supplements or medications?
Usually yes. The one real timing rule is antibiotics — give the chew 2 to 4 hours before or after, since antibiotics kill bacteria without checking whether they’re the helpful kind. For prescription medications, ask your vet.
What does it taste like, and what if my dog is picky?
Duck. It’s a soft chew, not a hard tablet, and most dogs take it out of your hand like a treat. If yours inspects everything first, crumble the chew over a meal — it works exactly the same way.
How should I store it?
Keep the jar sealed at room temperature, out of direct sun and away from humidity. No refrigeration needed. Heat is what kills live bacteria, so don’t leave it in a hot car.
Is there a version for cats?
Not yet. This chew is formulated and dosed for dogs. A feline formula is in development — join the list and we’ll tell you when it’s ready.
