Product Information

  • Digestion is the gateway to health—nutrients cannot support the body unless food is properly broken down; poor digestion can lead to gas, bloating, reflux, inflammation, malabsorption, microbial imbalance, and chronic GI discomfort.
  • Modern pets face widespread enzyme insufficiency due to ultra‑processed diets, enzyme-deficient, high-heat processed foods, chronic stress, medications, and environmental insults that erode natural digestive capacity over time.
  • PRIME ENZYMES restores complete digestive function, supplying a full spectrum of enzymes to break down proteins, fats, carbohydrates, fibers, and sugars—reducing fermentation, gas, bloating, and reflux at every meal.
  • Different diets create different digestive gaps: processed foods suppress stomach acid and protein digestion, while fresh/raw diets often lack sufficient lipase for fat digestion—Prime Enzymes bridges both gaps effectively.
  • Comprehensive enzyme and bile support protects key organs, reducing stress on the pancreas and gallbladder, supporting bile flow, fat absorption, and nutrient uptake, and helping manage issues like SIBO, pancreatitis, and gallbladder sludging.

How Digestion Works—and What Happens When It Doesn’t

Digestion is a finely tuned sequence. It begins in the stomach, where strong acid and enzymes break down proteins and signal the intestines to prepare. In the small intestine, bile and pancreatic enzymes complete the job so nutrients can be absorbed effectively.

When any part of this process falters, digestion stalls. Food lingers too long, breaks down incompletely, and ferments—feeding harmful microbes and triggering bloating, gas, reflux, and inflammation. These symptoms aren’t random; they’re signs that digestion is not functioning as designed.

Why Modern Diets Create Digestive Stress

Why Modern Diets Create Digestive Stress

natural vs dehydrated food

Ultra‑processed and cooked diets disrupt digestion in several ways. High‑heat processing destroys natural enzymes, refined starches dilute the protein content pets are biologically designed to digest, and dry foods weaken stomach acid production over time. Low stomach acid leaves proteins only partially digested, slows stomach emptying, and reduces the signals needed for healthy bile and pancreatic enzyme release—often causing reflux‑like symptoms that are mistakenly blamed on excess acid.

Even fresh and raw‑fed pets face a different challenge: naturally occurring enzymes in meat and plants aren’t enough to fully break down fats without the lipase that carnivores would normally obtain from eating whole prey, especially the pancreas. The result is a widespread, often overlooked epidemic of enzyme insufficiency that contributes to gas, bloating, loose stools, SIBO, gallbladder sludging, and pancreatitis.


How Digestive Enzymes Restore Balance

Digestive enzymes help correct these gaps at the very first step of digestion. Proteases, lipase, amylase, and fiber‑breaking enzymes support the full breakdown of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and plant fibers—reducing fermentation, easing digestive stress, and improving nutrient absorption. Added support such as ox bile and taurine promotes smooth bile flow, healthy fat digestion, and gallbladder resilience.

By aiding digestion before food reaches the small intestine, enzymes help prevent bacterial overgrowth, relieve reflux, reduce gas and bloating, and decrease the demand placed on organs like the pancreas and gallbladder. This is not a shortcut—it’s foundational support for pets experiencing modern digestive challenges. Proper enzymatic support helps restore comfort, balance, and overall digestive health so pets can fully benefit from the food they eat.

Frequently ask questions

Can I give Prime Digestive Enzymes with probiotics?

Yes. Digestive enzymes and probiotics work synergistically; enzymes improve food breakdown while probiotics help support a healthy microbial balance.

Are there any conditions where I should not use digestive enzymes?

Yes. Do not use if your pet has been diagnosed with gastrointestinal ulcers or erosions, or if your pet has known allergies to any of the ingredients. Always consult your veterinarian if unsure. 

I have a very sensitive pet. How should I introduce this product?

It’s fine to start with much less than the recommended amount and slowly increase over several days or weeks to allow your pet’s digestive system to adjust.

Can Prime Enzymes be used daily?

Yes. This formula is designed for daily use and provides ongoing digestive support with meal. There are no published studies suggesting that supplying enzymes to carnivores negatively affects their physiology. 

Is this helpful for pets eating fresh or raw diets?

Yes. While fresh foods contain some natural enzymes, they often lack sufficient lipase and pancreatic enzymes, making supplementation beneficial.

Can this help pets with gas, bloating, or reflux?

Yes. Many digestive symptoms are caused by incomplete digestion, and enzymes help reduce fermentation and digestive discomfort.

Is this safe for pets with a history of pancreatitis?

Yes, this product was designed to support pancreatitis patients. Digestive enzymes can reduce pancreatic workload but always follow your veterinarian’s guidance for pets with pancreatic disease, especially if they are being actively treated for current disease.

Will this change my pet’s stool?

Some pets may have improved stool quality as digestion becomes more efficient. Changes are usually mild and positive.

How quickly will I see results?

Some pets show improvement within days, while others may take a few weeks as digestion and absorption normalize.

How many milligrams of taurine are included in the product?

167mg per scoop. Taurine is essential for recycling bile in the liver, which keeps digestion running smoothly.
