How to Repair Your Dog or Cat’s Gut Naturally

Leaky gut, also called intestinal permeability, may affect more than your dog or cat’s digestion. In this video, Dr. Andrew Jones explains what leaky gut is, the signs to watch for, common causes, testing options, and natural ways to support gut repair.

Possible signs include diarrhea, vomiting, bloating, nausea, soft stools, acid reflux, skin allergies, low energy, and other chronic inflammatory problems. Dr. Jones also discusses factors that may damage the intestinal lining, including highly processed food, antibiotics, corticosteroids, parasites, stress, and environmental toxins.

You’ll also learn about newer testing options that look at markers linked with intestinal permeability, including zonulin and anti-gliadin IgA. These tests are not considered definitive, but they may provide useful clues when chronic digestive problems continue.

For support, Dr. Jones starts with diet: more fresh, minimally processed food and gut-friendly additions such as pumpkin and blueberries. He also covers probiotics, Saccharomyces boulardii, psyllium husk, slippery elm, colostrum, collagen, L-glutamine, and zinc carnosine.

If your dog or cat has ongoing digestive issues, allergies, or unexplained inflammation, this video explains practical options for supporting the gut and helping restore a healthier intestinal barrier.

The goal is simple: calm inflammation, support healthy bacteria, and strengthen the intestinal lining.
