Promax Nutritional Supplement for Small Breed Dogs - 9ml
503393
Digestive upsets are common in smaller breeds (<10kg), and they can appear suddenly after a change of diet, a stressful journey, scavenging on a walk, or during recovery from illness. When the gastrointestinal tract is irritated, food and water may move through too quickly, the stool can soften, and your dog may feel nauseous or uncomfortable.
Promax Supplement for Small Dogs is a once-daily nutritional paste designed to support the digestive tract when stools become loose or the tummy seems unsettled. Although many episodes of acute diarrhoea are mild and self-limiting, small dogs can lose fluid faster, and repeated loose stools can inflame the gut lining.
Promax targets the main problems behind many episodes of diarrhoea and digestive irritation. First, it includes an adsorbent clay (montmorillonite/bentonite), which can bind excess water and unwanted substances within the gut lumen, helping to firm stools and reduce contact between irritants and the intestinal mucosa. This type of clay is valued for its large surface area and coating properties, so it can help soothe a sensitive gut and support a more normal transit time. Second, Promax for Small Dogs provides a veterinary probiotic strain, Enterococcus faecium, to help repopulate beneficial bacteria after stress, dietary indiscretion, or antibiotic-associated digestive disturbance. Third, Promax for Small Dogs includes supportive nutrients and prebiotics that help feed the good bacteria and support the gut barrier, which is important for both digestion and immune function.

Description
A stable microbiome matters because the small intestine and colon contain a complex community of bacteria that influence digestion, stool quality, and local immunity. When that community becomes imbalanced (dysbiosis), dogs can develop loose stools, excess gas, and increased urgency, even if the trigger was something as simple as a new treat. Promax for Small Dogs includes Enterococcus faecium, a lactic-acid producing bacterium that can help create conditions that are less favourable for certain pathogenic organisms, while supporting competitive exclusion of less helpful microbes. In plain terms, it aims to tip the balance back towards a healthier bacterial population so the bowel can settle. Promax for Small Dogs also contains prebiotics such as mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) and inulin, which act as food for beneficial bacteria and can help reduce bacterial adherence to the intestinal wall. By supporting a more resilient microbiota, your dog may be better able to digest food efficiently and maintain more consistent stools during short-term digestive challenges.
Support for the gut lining is another reason vets often recommend targeted digestive supplements such as Promax. The intestinal surface is made of enterocytes and a protective mucus layer, and both can be stressed by diarrhoea, diet change, or inflammatory irritation. Promax for Small Dogs provides amino acids such as L-glutamine, which is a key fuel for enterocytes, and L-threonine, which is involved in normal mucus production and mucosal barrier function. These nutrients are not a medicine for underlying disease, but they can be useful when the gut is trying to repair and re-stabilise. Promax for Small Dogs also contains ingredients such as pectin, which can form a gentle gel in the bowel and support stool consistency, alongside yeast-derived components that contribute beta glucans and MOS. Taken together, this combination is designed to help coat, soothe, and protect the gut mucosa while normal digestion re-establishes itself.
You might consider Promax when you notice signs of mild gastrointestinal upset, especially if your dog is otherwise bright, drinking, and able to rest comfortably. Common signs can include:
- soft or watery stools (acute diarrhoea)
- flatulence, tummy gurgling, or mild cramping
- stools with mucus, or a sudden increase in frequency
- reduced appetite or picky eating for a day
- digestive upset after diet change, stress, or antibiotics
Promax is intended for short-term support, so it is still important to seek veterinary advice if symptoms are severe, last more than a couple of days, or your dog seems unwell. Contact a vet promptly if you see blood in the stool, repeated vomiting, marked lethargy, signs of dehydration (sticky gums, sunken eyes), abdominal pain, fever, or if your dog is very young, elderly, or has other medical problems. If your dog has recurrent digestive signs, a vet may want to check for parasites, dietary intolerance, pancreatitis, or chronic enteropathy, and Promax for Small Dogs can be used alongside that investigation if advised.
Administration is straightforward, which helps when your dog already feels off-colour. Promax for Small Dogs is supplied in a 9ml syringe with clear measures, and the typical course is 3ml once daily, giving a three-day supply, unless your vet advises a different schedule. You can give Promax for Small Dogs directly into the side of the mouth, or place it on a small amount of food if your dog prefers to lick. Some owners find it easiest to wrap the dog gently in a towel, lift the lip, and deliver the paste slowly so the dog can swallow comfortably. Because probiotics can be affected by some antibiotics, it can be sensible to separate dosing by a few hours when your dog is on antibiotic therapy, but follow your vet’s specific guidance. Keep fresh water available and monitor stool frequency, appetite, and energy levels while using the paste. If you need to use Promax repeatedly, or you are unsure whether it is appropriate with your dog’s other medication, your veterinary practice can advise on timing, diet, and whether further checks are needed.
What is Promax for Small Dogs used for?
Promax is a once-daily nutritional paste used to support short-term digestive upset, such as loose stools, mild tummy gurgling, or changes after stress or antibiotics. It is designed to help stabilise stool consistency, support the gut microbiome, and soothe the intestinal lining while normal digestion returns.
How quickly does Promax work?
Many dogs show improvement in stool consistency within 24–48 hours, although response depends on the cause and severity of the upset. Promax supports the bowel as it settles, but it cannot fix underlying problems such as parasites or pancreatitis, which need veterinary diagnosis.
Is Promax a probiotic?
Promax for Small Dogs contains a veterinary probiotic strain (Enterococcus faecium) as part of its formulation, alongside prebiotics and supportive nutrients. That means it does more than simply add bacteria; it also aims to feed beneficial microbes and protect the gut lining during digestive disturbance.
When should I contact a vet instead of using Promax?
Seek veterinary advice urgently if your dog has blood in the stool, repeated vomiting, marked lethargy, abdominal pain, fever, or signs of dehydration. If diarrhoea lasts more than a couple of days, keeps returning, or your dog has other illnesses, a vet should check for causes beyond simple dietary upset.
Can Promax for Small Dogs be used after antibiotics?
Yes, Promax is commonly used to support the gut during or after antibiotic therapy, when the microbiome can be disrupted. Ask your vet about timing, as separating the paste and the antibiotic by a few hours may be helpful. Continue to monitor appetite, hydration, and stools.
