These treats are the ideal homemade digestive aid for your dog

Waggy Bites Functional Dog Treats are the perfect daily treat and supplement solution, allowing you to feel good about what you give your dog while addressing specific health issues. Digestive enzymes are crucial for your dog's nutrient absorption and gut health and are a key ingredient in Waggy Bites Belly Buddies.


However, if you're looking to get your hands dirty you can also boost your dog's digestive health with these homemade pineapple papaya dog treats that contain natural digestive enzymes for your dog.


Papaya and pineapple are powerhouses for digestive health thanks to their natural enzymes. Papaya contains papain, an enzyme that efficiently breaks down proteins and supports nutrient absorption in your dog's digestive system. It also helps reduce inflammation and digestive discomfort.


Similarly, pineapple features bromelain, another enzyme that aids in protein digestion while supporting immune function and reducing inflammation. These fruits provide a natural way to enhance your dog's gut health and digestion and help them get more nutrition from their food.
