Product Description

AP Guard from Ayush Herbs is a herbal supplement formulated by veterinarians to support digestive wellness and immune health in dogs and cats. The capsule formulation provides a standardized dosage that can be incorporated easily into your pet's dietary routine. 

Pet owners want to know how to support the digestive health of dogs and cats. A healthy digestive system forms the basis of good health and when your dog or cat has digestive issues, they may have diarrhea, loose stools, vomiting, etc. You don't want to watch your pet suffer, but at the same time, you may not be inclined to give lots of medications for a seemingly common problem. 

AP Guard is unique because it uses herbs like Neem, Holy Basil, Bitter Melon, Long Pepper, etc, which are used traditionally in Ayurveda for digestive wellness. These are organically grown in the Himalayas and Ayush Herbs uses them in creating highly effective herbal supplements for pets. They are gentle and safe to promote a healthy gut microbiome and natural immunity resilience.
