Ottos Nourish and Restore

Coming soon - Otto's Nourish and Restore

This is our first-ever supplement, inspired by our darling second-hand sausage dog, Otto. Otto had some pretty pongy and annoying allergies. When he finally refused to take more antibiotics (which were not working anyway), I worked for one of Australia's largest complementary medicine companies. I was writing about Saccharomyces boulardii and wanted to give it a try. Otto's allergies were quickly resolved, and six months later, my vet asked what I had given him to boost his liver health. And so, Otto's Nourish and Restore was born.

A Nutrient-Rich Powder for Overall Health

Otto's Nourish and Restore is a unique blend of Saccharomyces boulardii, omega-3s, and turmeric, carefully combined to support your dog's health in a way no other supplement does.

Key Ingredients & Benefits

Saccharomyces boulardii

A robust probiotic yeast that balances gut flora aids digestion and supports immune health. It is especially beneficial for managing diarrhoea and enhancing overall digestive function. Research supports its effectiveness in improving gastrointestinal health (Czerucka et al., 2007).

Omega-3 Fatty Acids are Essential for reducing inflammation and supporting joint, skin, coat, and brain health. Omega-3s aid cognitive function and contribute to a shiny coat and hydrated skin. Studies show they can relieve canine inflammation and improve overall health (Lenox & Bauer, 2013).

Turmeric (with Piperazine Decoloured) Turmeric, renowned for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, helps with joint pain and inflammation. Piperazine enhances absorption while reducing staining. Evidence highlights turmeric's role in reducing inflammation and oxidative stress in dogs (Banerjee et al., 2017).

Suggested Dosage (per 2.5g)

  • Omega-3 Fatty Acids: 1.5g (from fish oil powder or algae)
