FIBER-Tabs supplements the dog’s diet in a targeted manner with a balanced combination of fibres known for their regulating effect on digestion and their satiating effect. Insoluble fibres (e.g. cellulose, hemicellulose) do not contain any usable energy, so they reduce the energy density of the pet’s daily food intake. They also have a solidifying influence on the contents of the pet’s intestines. Soluble fibres (e.g. pectin, pentosans) are partially metabolised by intestinal bacteria and could have a prebiotic effect on the intestinal flora. By absorbing water, dietary fibre extends the transit time of the gut contents and so has a positive impact on stool consistency. A high swelling effect also promotes satiety. L-carnitine is important in fat metabolism and is therefore vital in mobilising fat stores. Dogs love taking FIBER-Tabs, so their daily serving can also be given as low-calorie treats between meals.
