Why Gut Health is the First Place to Start...

Updated: 6 days ago

When it comes to your dog’s health, it all starts with the gut. A thriving gut isn’t just about digestion — it impacts everything from immune strength and energy to skin, weight, and mood. In fact, nearly 70% of your dog’s immune system lives in the gut. If the gut isn’t functioning properly, nothing else can — no matter how great the food or supplements.


Poor gut health can show up as itchy skin, constant paw licking, recurring ear infections, allergies, loose poos, anxiety, and more. It’s often the root cause of chronic symptoms. But here’s the good news: when you restore and support the gut, you give your dog the foundation to truly thrive.


That’s exactly what our two-step gut health system is designed to do.

Step 1: Gut Intense — Repair + Restore

Before you can build a balanced gut, you need to repair it.

Gut Intense is a potent, short-term supplement designed to reduce inflammation, heal the gut lining, and restore gut integrity — especially important for dogs with leaky gut, IBD, chronic allergies, or a history of antibiotic and medication use.

It includes:

  • BPC-157 & Larazotide Acetate (AT1001) – advanced peptides that target gut permeability and calm inflammation

  • L-Glutamine & Collagen Peptides – for tissue repair and gut lining regeneration

  • Lactoferrin – supports immune balance and microbial defence

  • Zinc L-Carnosine – protects and restores damaged gut tissue

Start here for 30 days (or longer if needed). It’s not a daily probiotic — it’s a therapeutic repair phase that sets the stage for everything else.

Step 2: Gut Everyday — Maintain + Strengthen

Once the gut is repaired, it’s time to support it daily.

Gut Everyday is a powerful 15-strain probiotic and prebiotic blend designed to keep the gut in balance and support long-term health. It’s ideal for dogs who’ve completed a Gut Intense cycle or those who already have a solid foundation and want to stay that way.

Key benefits:

  • Multi-strain probiotics & prebiotics – to rebalance the microbiome and support digestion

  • Turkey Tail Mushroom & Pomegranate Peel – immune-boosting, anti-inflammatory support

  • Gelatin & Aloe Vera Powder – soothe and nourish the gut lining

Gut Everyday keeps your dog’s gut strong, resilient, and ready to handle life’s daily stressors — from food changes to environmental triggers.


The Power of the Two-Step System

Here’s the simple truth: most probiotic supplements don’t work if the gut is damaged. It’s like planting seeds in dry, cracked soil — they won’t grow.

That’s why at Chadwick Nutrition, we always start with repair before we move to maintenance.

  1. Step 1: Gut Intense – Use for 30+ days to repair the gut lining, reduce inflammation, and restore gut integrity.

  2. Step 2: Gut Everyday – Introduce as daily support after the repair phase to maintain balance and long-term health.

Some dogs may benefit from cycling Gut Intense again throughout the year, especially after illness, antibiotics, or flare-ups.


Bonus Support: Saccharomyces boulardii

For added stability and extra gut reinforcement, Saccharomyces boulardii can be used alongside either phase. It’s a gut-friendly yeast that helps manage diarrhoea, supports good bacteria, and protects against imbalances — especially helpful during food transitions, flare-ups, or antibiotic use.


Start With the Gut, Watch Everything Change

Investing in gut health is the smartest thing you can do for your dog.

Whether they’re struggling with allergies, dodgy poos, or just not thriving — healing the gut creates a ripple effect that transforms their whole system.

With Gut Intense, Gut Everyday, and Saccharomyces boulardii, you’ve got a complete system to repair, restore, and maintain a thriving gut — and a thriving dog.
