Protexin Synbiotic DC - 50 x 200mg Capsules
154696
Protexin Synbiotic DC Capsules are a synbiotic supplement designed to support digestive function in dogs when the gastrointestinal tract is unsettled. Many dogs experience occasional tummy upsets during a sudden food change, after boarding or travel, during periods of stress, or after eating something that does not agree with them. At these times, supporting the gut environment can help the bowel return to a steadier pattern.
Synbiotic DC Capsules contain probiotics (live beneficial microorganisms) and prebiotics (the fibres those microorganisms use as fuel) in a capsule format. The capsules are easy to give with a treat or small meal, and they can be opened so the contents can be sprinkled onto food. Synbiotic can be particularly useful during diet transitions or after events that commonly trigger digestive upset, such as travelling or kennelling. Pack of 50 Capsules

More Information
Description
To understand how Synbiotic DC Capsules work, it helps to think of the gut as an ecosystem. Your dog’s intestinal microbiome is made up of many species of bacteria that assist with digestion, vitamin production and normal immune signalling through the gut-associated lymphoid tissue. When that community is disrupted, a state known as intestinal dysbiosis can occur, and this may contribute to gas, altered motility, and changes in stool frequency or consistency. Synbiotic DC Capsules aim to rebalance this environment in two complementary ways. First, the probiotic component provides friendly organisms that can compete with less desirable bacteria for space and nutrients, a process sometimes described as competitive exclusion. Second, the prebiotic component helps support the growth of helpful commensal bacteria already living in the bowel, encouraging a more stable microbial profile. Together, this synbiotic approach can support normal fermentation, help maintain an appropriate gut pH, and promote the production of short-chain fatty acids that nourish the lining of the colon.
Dogs often show subtle signs of digestive disturbance before diarrhoea becomes obvious, and these signs can be easy to miss in busy households. Synbiotic DC Capsules can be used as a nutritional adjunct during mild gastrointestinal upset and during recovery, alongside an appropriate diet and hydration plan advised by your vet. Pet owners commonly reach for Synbiotic DC Capsules when they notice any of the following:
- Your dog has softer stools or a sudden change in faecal consistency.
- Your dog needs to toilet more urgently, or passes smaller amounts more often.
- Your dog has excessive wind, abdominal bloating, or noisy gut sounds after meals.
- Your dog has a reduced appetite, nausea-type lip licking, or starts grass eating.
- Your dog shows sensitivity to diet changes, treats, or stressful routines.
Because Synbiotic DC Capsules are supportive, they are best used with sensible monitoring. If your dog is repeatedly vomiting, passing blood or black stools, becoming lethargic, showing abdominal pain, or you are concerned about dehydration, it is important to seek veterinary advice promptly. Those signs can indicate acute gastroenteritis or another condition that needs clinical assessment, and a supplement should not delay appropriate treatment.
The probiotic element in Synbiotic DC Capsules is included to help stabilise the microbiota and support the gut’s natural barrier function. In clinical terms, the intestinal lining is formed by a single layer of cells called enterocytes, joined by tight junctions that help regulate what passes from the gut into the bloodstream. When the gut is irritated, the mucosal barrier can become less effective, and inflammation can make the bowel more reactive. Probiotic organisms can help by supporting a balanced microbial population and producing metabolites that encourage mucosal resilience. They may also influence local immune responses by interacting with receptors in the gut lining, helping the body respond appropriately to everyday bacterial challenges. For dogs that are prone to antibiotic-associated diarrhoea, using Synbiotic DC Capsules at a suitable time in relation to antibiotic dosing can be a helpful way to support stool quality while the gut flora is being disrupted.
Prebiotics are just as important as probiotics in Synbiotic DC Capsules because they help beneficial bacteria thrive rather than simply passing through. Prebiotic fibres are not digested in the small intestine; instead, they reach the large intestine where they are fermented by friendly bacteria. This fermentation supports the production of short-chain fatty acids such as butyrate, acetate and propionate, which contribute to normal colonic cell health and can help regulate motility. In practical terms, this can support firmer, more consistent stools and may reduce the cycle of ‘soft stool followed by straining’ that some dogs experience during a flare of sensitivity. By supporting a steadier microbial environment, Synbiotic DC Capsules can also assist with normal nutrient utilisation, which is particularly relevant for dogs whose digestive upset leaves them looking flat, gassy, or uncomfortable after meals.
For everyday use, follow your veterinarian’s guidance or the label directions, as the most suitable amount can vary with your dog’s size and the reason you are using Synbiotic DC Capsules. Many owners find it easiest to give Synbiotic DC Capsules with food, which can improve acceptance and helps avoid giving supplements on an empty stomach when a dog already feels unsettled. If you are also giving antibiotics, it is often sensible to separate doses by a few hours, so the probiotic component of Synbiotic DC Capsules is less likely to be inactivated. Continue to offer plenty of fresh water, and consider a bland, easily digestible diet for a short period if advised by your vet. Store Synbiotic DC Capsules in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly closed, and avoid leaving them in a warm car or in direct sunlight, as heat and humidity can reduce probiotic viability. If your dog has a chronic digestive condition, is immunocompromised, or is on long-term medication, your vet can advise whether Synbiotic DC Capsules are appropriate as part of a broader management plan.
How do Synbiotic DC Capsules differ from a probiotic alone?
A probiotic provides beneficial microorganisms, but Synbiotic DC Capsules also include prebiotic fibres that act as food for those organisms. This synbiotic approach can help the helpful bacteria establish and function more effectively in the bowel, supporting a more stable microbial balance during digestive disruption.
Can I open Synbiotic DC Capsules and mix them with food?
Yes, many dogs take Synbiotic DC Capsules more easily when the capsule is opened and the powder is mixed into a small portion of food. Mixing with something cool or room temperature is sensible, because high heat can reduce probiotic viability. Always ensure the full amount is eaten
How quickly should Synbiotic DC Capsules work?
Some dogs show improvement in stool consistency within 24–48 hours, especially when the upset is mild and diet is kept consistent. For other dogs, changes are more gradual and may take several days. If signs worsen, persist, or your dog seems unwell, contact your vet for advice.
Can Synbiotic DC Capsules be given with antibiotics?
Synbiotic DC Capsules are often used alongside antibiotics to support the gut microbiota, but timing matters. Giving the synbiotic a few hours apart from the antibiotic may help the probiotic organisms survive. Your vet can advise the best schedule, especially for long courses or sensitive dogs.
Are Synbiotic DC Capsules helpful for gassy or bloated dogs?
Excess wind and bloating can be linked to diet, swallowing air, or changes in gut fermentation. By supporting a healthier microbial balance, Synbiotic DC Capsules may help some dogs feel more comfortable. If bloating is sudden, severe, or painful, seek urgent veterinary advice.

Protexin Pro-Soluble helps restore this balance by introducing beneficial bacteria that support the normal function of the digestive tract.
How Protexin Pro-Soluble Works
Protexin Pro-Soluble contains a carefully selected blend of live probiotic bacteria. These beneficial microorganisms work by colonising the gut and competing with harmful bacteria for space and nutrients. This helps maintain a balanced and stable gut environment, reducing the likelihood of digestive disturbances.
Pro-Soluble includes Enterococcus faecium, a well-researched probiotic strain known for its ability to survive the journey through the stomach and reach the intestines, where it provides the most benefit. Once in the gut, these bacteria help support a healthy microbial population, which in turn aids digestion and nutrient absorption.
By supporting a balanced gut flora, Protexin Pro-Soluble helps the digestive system function more efficiently. It also assists the immune system by promoting the production of natural antibodies and supporting the gut’s barrier function. A well-balanced gut microbiome contributes not only to digestive comfort but also to overall resilience and wellbeing.

They help to displace potentially harmful bacteria by competing for nutrients and binding sites along the gut wall. This process contributes to the normalisation of the intestinal flora and supports the animal’s natural digestive defences.
- Prebiotics are included to provide nourishment for these beneficial bacteria. By selectively supporting the growth of good bacteria, prebiotics encourage a healthy microbial balance and reduce the ability of harmful bacteria to thrive. This promotes a stable digestive environment, helping the gut microbiome return to equilibrium after disruption.
- Postbiotics, the bioactive compounds produced by beneficial bacteria, further enhance intestinal health. They contribute to the maintenance of the intestinal barrier and support the regulation of the local immune response. These components help strengthen the gut’s ability to resist external stressors, toxins, and pathogens.

Ultradiar Capsules - Pack of 20
Ultradiar Capsules
Ultradiar Capsules are a supplement designed to help manage and relieve digestive disturbances such as diarrhoea in dogs and cats. They provide a reliable way to support intestinal balance and restore normal stool consistency following digestive upset. Ultradiar is suitable for use during or after episodes of acute diarrhoea and can also help stabilise gut function during periods of dietary change, stress, or antibiotic use.
Digestive disturbances in pets can occur for many reasons, including changes in diet, infections, stress, or the use of certain medications. These conditions often lead to irritation and imbalance in the intestinal flora, resulting in loose stools or diarrhoea. Ultradiar Capsules are designed to target these issues directly, helping the digestive system return to its normal rhythm while supporting overall intestinal health.
How Ultradiar Capsules Work
Ultradiar Capsules act by binding and neutralising harmful substances in the gut that contribute to diarrhoea, while simultaneously helping to restore natural bacterial balance. The active ingredients work together to protect the intestinal lining and reduce irritation.
Each capsule contains components that absorb excess fluid and toxins within the digestive tract. This helps to firm the stool and slow down bowel movements, allowing the gut to recover naturally. The formulation also encourages the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, helping to re-establish a healthy microbial balance. This dual action both relieves the symptoms of diarrhoea and addresses the underlying imbalance that causes it.
Ultradiar is gentle on the stomach and suitable for use alongside most regular diets and veterinary-prescribed treatments. The capsules are easy to administer and can be given directly or opened and mixed with food. They are safe for short-term or occasional use, under the guidance of a veterinary professional.
