Slippery elm is widely known for its many health benefits and has been available as an herbal supplement for humans for hundreds of years. The bark is packed with vitamins, fiber, and magnesium.
It contains natural mucilages that form a protective film, thereby soothing inflammation in all mucous membranes, including the nose and throat, as well as reducing redness, swelling, and pain. If your dog suffers from irritated mucous membranes in the intestines or urinary tract, this can provide relief, and it can also help with sore throats and heartburn.
It is also prebiotic, meaning it helps feed the good bacteria in the gut, thereby supporting healthy gut function. The mucus formed by the bark soothes and lubricates the mucous membranes in the intestines, which can help with both constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, and gastroenteritis, as well as diarrhea due to its high fiber content.
Ways to administer it ▾
1. Mix it with water/bone broth/kefir to form a paste (best method)
2. Mix it directly into the food
Slippery elm will relieve upper gastrointestinal issues better if ingested 30-60 minutes before meals.
If the dog has problems with the lower gastrointestinal tract, such as constipation or diarrhea, it will benefit most from receiving it with food or immediately after eating.
3. Wound healing/rashes: The bark has an anticoagulant effect, making it a great topical treatment for minor wounds or rashes. Mix the powder with cold water to form a paste, then apply directly to the dog's affected skin areas and let it dry before removing it.
Read this before giving slippery elm ▾
1. Do not administer simultaneously with medications: Slippery elm can reduce the absorption of medications if given at the same time. Therefore, administer it at least 2 hours before or after medications.
2. Do not administer to pregnant or lactating bitches: The use of slippery elm in pregnant or lactating bitches is not sufficiently documented, and therefore not recommended.
3. Avoid long-term use without veterinary supervision: Although slippery elm is safe, you should always consult a veterinarian if your dog has persistent problems. Long-term use can mask underlying health issues.
