If your dog (or cat) has an upset stomach, symptoms can vary from the occasional windy tummy to diarrhoea, pancreatic insufficiency or something more serious. The most important point is if you are at all concerned please visit a veterinary professional for expert advice. This will allow anything serious to be diagnosed, treated or even ruled out.
Dog supplements such as the Dorwest Herbs Tree Barks Powder work as a digestive aid for dogs to reduce acute intestinal absorptive disorders, compensate for maldigestion and chronic pancreatic insufficiency. Tree bark can also be used during periods of, and recovery from, acute diarrhoea. Here are 5 reasons why we recommend Tree Barks Powder for dogs when they have an upset tummy.
1. Pure slippery elm for dogs
The Dorwest Tree Barks Powder for dogs consists of just 2 ingredients, 90% finely powdered slippery elm bark and 10% white poplar bark. We use absolutely no fillers and the quality of these two ingredients meet the European Herbal Pharmacopoeia standards. We source both ingredients from their native home in North America.
2. The special way in which it works!
This fine fluffy powder is very mucilaginous or glutinous. This means that when you mix it in with a fluid such as water or becomes almost blancmange like, hence the name ‘slippery’ elm. Our Dorwest Tree Barks Powder coats and soothes the digestive tract and stomach (emollient action) as it moves through the system. This helps support the absorption of nutrients, firming stools and easing discomfort.
3. Perfect for pups all the way to the veterans
Slippery elm powder is one of the many well-known natural supplements for dogs and has been used for years both as a digestive aid for dogs and for weaning puppies or kittens. Not only to ensure they get the very best out of any food they are eating but also because tree bark is incredibly nutritious in its own right.
4. Easy to give
Our Tree Barks Powder can easily be mixed into their normal food, or even mix it into some live yoghurt for a natural pro-biotic too. We also have had a customer making little ‘honey balls’ with it, great if your pet has a sweet tooth or is a little fussy!
5. Flexibility
Tree bark for dogs can help your pet whether their digestive issue is a one off (often due to something they shouldn’t have eaten!). It is also an ideal digestive aid for dogs if they struggle intermittently with non-specific digestive issues. Keep a tub in the house to have ready to use when it is necessary or give regularly to keep everything under control. Either way, Dorwest Tree Barks Powder is essential for the dog cupboard!

Hi, we have a pug who is on special dietary food for bladder stones but it has also given him an upset tummy. Is this OK to use alongside the special food to help settle him while the food works it's magic?
Regards.
Hi Kevin – the Tree Barks Powder can be given alongside a variety of diets and can be used for as long as needed to help your Pug adjust to his new diet. You can add it directly on to the food or give it separately by mixing it into a paste with water, live natural yoghurt or honey (for example).
Good morning
Can you use tree barks and keepers mix together I’d like to use it daily for my 3 cavapoo’s
I was recommended tree barks via my raw feeding group as my 6 month old puppy has soft stools but is completely fine is very other way raw feeding usually sorts this out but he seems to eat all sorts in the garden! He weights 8kg
Many thanks
Hi Mandy – Yes, you can use Tree Barks Powder and Keeper's Mix together. These are also both suitable for long term use or if you feel they don't need to be on Tree Barks Powder full time, then you can add it into their food as and when needed 🙂 I hope this helps.
Hi, my greyhound is 12 and has been diagnosed with late stage 2/early stage 3 chronic kidney disease and is on a renal diet of kibble and homemade mince with vegetables. She has now begun with loose stools since diet change and I'm aware diarrhoea is a result of ckd. Is it beneficial and safe to give her tree bark powder, slippery elm or other supplements that will help with firming stools but not adversely affect the kidneys please? Thank you for any help.
Hi Jane – We would recommend trying the Tree Barks Powder as it is incredibly gentle and has no known precautions regarding use in those with kidney disorders. You can give it daily or as and when needed for when she is having a flare up of loose stools. You give 1 tsp per 10kg bodyweight per day for as long as needed, indefinitely if required. This can be split between morning and evening to provide an even coverage throughout the day. We would advise consulting your vet prior to use so that they are aware that you are using the product when monitoring her condition.
Hi…my dog has started suffering dreadfully with acid reflux…lots of lip licking, carpet chewing and gulping…. Nothing from the vet help … Nothing changes in his diet so no idea what kicks it off.. It usually lasts 24 hrs at its worst…. So I've decided to try slippery Elm but have read dosage is 1/4 tap per 10lb..he is 9.5kg so I'm assuming that is 1/2 tsp….please can you confirm this dosage is correct please..
Hi Jackie – Aw poor boy! Our Tree Barks Powder should do the trick. We recommend 1tsp per 10kg bodyweight, so he would need 1tsp per day. If you have any further questions or concerns, please get in touch with our advisors – email advice@dorwest.com or call 01308897272
Hello my 10ish yo rescue. Conker, has your skullcap and valerian and it’s done wonders for his reactivity. He also has noxious wind most days – he is a scavenger. Recently had a gastro intestinal scan for weight loss and it was clear. He’s on burns sensitive and this is the least worse diet for him. He has I think the dog equivalent of IBS and has runny poo at least once/twice a week.
Will this herb help do you think? Thanks
Hi Antonia – We would recommend using the Tree Barks Powder for Conker as it is really gentle and easily digested as well as helping to firm up stools. It helps to soothe digestive discomfort and can be given daily for as long as needed to help support the digestion, or just given as and when required for flare ups. If you would like any further information, please contact us at advice@dorwest.com
My Whippet suffers with what we call his "rumble tums" but only has it first thing in the morning. It comes on him so quickly and lasts from anything up to a couple of hours. He does not have diarrhoea with it. Just wants to eat plants and grass outside. Not interested in food until it passes. I feed him around 10.00pm at night as he doesn't have to go hours without eating. Whether this helps or not not sure. Do you think the tree bark may help him as his stomach makes such weird noises.
Hi Glynis – You could add some Tree Barks Powder to his evening meal which should help to settle his digestion over night and help to keep him comfortable which may help keep him happy to eat in the morning. However you may find that the digestive tablets are more suitable as they are designed to help rumbly, gurgling stomachs. You could split the tablets between morning and evening to help keep his stomach settled and support digestion.

Will this product help with reflux in dogs? Thank you
Hi Loz – The Tree Barks Powder can be particularly beneficial for those that suffer from acid reflux as it has mucilaginous properties that can help to coat the digestive tract and protect against excess acid. It also helps to slow passage of food through the digestive tract. This supplement helps to soothe the digestive tract so can help to ease discomfort associated with excess acid.
Hi I use your Tree Bark on my 17 week old GSD who is always eating things he shouldn’t and as soon as he gets this in him he is sorted !
Have used it for to many years to say ha ha but it is a good reliable product that has never harmed any of my many dogs😍
