Now the weather is warming up, our adventurous dogs and puppies have got their noses firmly on the ground sniffing about looking for the next interesting smell or tasty morsel. Whether it’s a squirrel that has been pottering around or crumbs from a picnic – this is all very interesting for our dogs.
The downside is that not only are they picking up these interesting sniffs, they are also more likely to pick up something not so favourable lurking in the grass which can result in loose stools and a generally upset tummy.
However help is at hand with our Tree Barks Powder which really is made from two finely powdered tree barks, slippery elm and white poplar. Tree Barks Powder contains natural anti-inflammatory and pain relieving compounds which soothe and line the digestive tract, help slow down the passage of food through the system to ensure maximum nutrients are absorbed, whilst firming the stools. Plus it acts quickly helping to spare your carpets!!
Due to its soothing properties, high digestibility and low fat content apart from diarrhoea Tree Barks Powder is also ideal for dogs and cats with intestinal disorders such as colitis, IBD, stomach acidity and intestinal sensitivities. Tree Barks Powder can be given as and when necessary or indefinitely if required, simply sprinkle it onto each feed or as my dog prefers it – licked off the back of a spoon when mixed with a bit yoghurt.
Of course, please consult a vet if you are at all concerned about your pet’s condition.

I have a nearly 13 year old golden retriever that’s has been getting boults of colitis and loose stools, 2 trips to the vets was given antibiotics which cleared it up for a couple of weeks but it doesn’t last long before she has it again, is there anything you can recommend to give her on a more regular basis to ease her tummy
Kind regards

Hi Linda – Our Tree Barks Powder can help by naturally soothing the digestive tract and help to slow the passage of food, increasing the absorption of nutrients, firming the stools and easing discomfort. This can also be used as a long term supplement. We recommend adding 1tsp per 10kgs bodyweight daily to her food or try mixing with yogurt. For further advice, our advisors are always on happy to help – 01308 897272 or email advice@dorwest.com
Hi, my 9 month old Lab eats everything: on walks rabbit poo is a staple (I do try to stop her but she just hoovers it up in passing!), Horse poo if I’m not quick enough.and recently the odd dog poo. She is on a really good dog food and I’m sure she is not deficient in anything, she’s just being a Lab. I give her a small treat if she drops whatever she has picked up. Our problem is wind, boy does it stink some days. She has had wind since a small puppy, The day I chose her (at 5 weeks) she curled up on my knee farted and went to sleep. My question is: will tree barks powder help (her stools are ok) cure the wind?
Thanks, Carol
Hi Carol – For windy stomachs we tend to recommend the Digestive Tablets as these help to settle gurgling, windy stomachs that may be prone to excess wind. Ginger and Valerian helps to calm the digestion, Rhubarb and Peppermint help to aid digestion and slippery elm helps to soothe and comfort. You can split the daily dose between meals to help support digestion. Here's a link to the Digestive Tablets for more information https://www.dorwest.com/product/digestive-tablets-for-dogs-and-cats/
