- Gastrok: stimulates natural gut movement when the gut slows down.
- Gastrol: supports digestion and healthy gut flora, with a change of food, a house move or loose stools.
Change food gradually
A lot of stomach and gut upset starts with change. So switch food gradually, spread over a week or more, and give a few smaller meals rather than one large one.
Mix the herbs into the food. For dogs and cats wet food often works best, for sheep and goats a handful of pellets or concentrate.
When to have it checked first
Persistent vomiting, blood in the stools, or an animal that is listless and feels warm: that calls for a professional, not a supplement. Our herbs are complementary feed. They can support digestion, but never replace an expert eye.

Loose stools, a tender flank, restlessness at feeding time. Digestion is the first system to react to change, and the last to settle again.

What are Chinese herbs?
Not a single herb for a single thing, but a formula in which herbs reinforce and temper one another. This is how the Chinese herbal tradition works.
