Strong defenses for the cold season: Why the intestines determine the health of dogs and cats
PetYu relies on scientifically proven support for the intestines and immune system with EPICOR
Hamburg (pts013/09.10.2025/09:55)
When autumn arrives, a sensitive time of year begins for many pets. The immune system is under strain, metabolism slows, and many dogs and cats react to the change with digestive problems, loss of appetite, or increased fatigue.
What many pet owners don't know: The intestine is the center of the immune system—and therefore crucial for health. Around 80 percent of all immune cells are located there. When the intestinal flora becomes unbalanced, symptoms such as digestive problems in dogs and digestive problems in cats become more common.
This is precisely where the new PetYu® Digestion+ supplement comes in. Developed in collaboration with veterinarians, it provides natural intestinal support. The product is based on the innovative postbiotic EPICOR®, an active ingredient originally used in human medicine and studied in over a dozen clinical trials.
"We know that a healthy gut relieves the immune system and fends off infections," says Dario Vettese, founder and CEO of PetYu®. "Digestion+ is like a gentle intestinal treatment for dogs and cats – chemical-free, but with clear results."
What postbiotics can do
While terms like probiotics for dogs or probiotics for cats have long been familiar, so-called postbiotics are now becoming the focus of research. These are inactivated microorganisms – usually bacterial or yeast strains – and their natural metabolites. These substances help regulate the intestinal flora, promote the mucosal barrier, and support the immune system. Studies show that postbiotics stabilize the intestinal flora and positively influence the microbiome, help with constipation and irritable bowel syndrome, shorten the duration of colds, have an anti-inflammatory effect, and sustainably strengthen the body's immune system.
EPICOR® is one of the most researched postbiotics in the world. It is derived from fermented yeast and contains bioactive metabolites and antioxidants that specifically support the interaction between the gut and the immune system.
PetYu® Digestion+ helps keep dogs and cats resilient and vital throughout the autumn and winter.
Natural, simple, suitable for everyday use
PetYu® Digestion+ is a high-quality gastrointestinal powder for dogs and cats that works gently like a natural stomach remedy for dogs. It is suitable for animals with sensitive stomachs, after antibiotic treatments, or after periods of stress and diet changes. The powder is simply sprinkled over the food daily and is well tolerated by both dogs and cats. It contains no fillers, no sugar, and no artificial additives.
The product is available online at PetYu – German Premium Supplements for Dogs & Cats – PetYu. Price: €34.95 for 150 grams, including a measuring spoon. Free shipping for orders over €65.
Holistic animal health – from a single source
PetYu® takes a comprehensive approach.
Next to Digestion+ ( PetYu Digestion – Natural Support for Dogs & Cats ) the brand offers two other products that cover the most important health areas.
Joints+ ( PetYu Joints+ – For healthy joints, veterinarian developed & patented ), a natural joint powder for dogs with glucosamine, MSM, turmeric and green-lipped mussel for dogs – developed to support cartilage, joints and mobility, also in cases of osteoarthritis or to strengthen the joints in cats.
Oral hygiene+ ( PetYu Oral Hygiene+ – Teeth Cleaning & Fresh Breath for Pets ), an innovative oral hygiene powder for dogs and cats that is simply added to food and reduces plaque and dental problems in cats. All products are made in Germany and are available exclusively in the PetYu® webshop. For pet owners who order oral hygiene products online, are looking for a high-quality gastrointestinal food for dogs, or a functional dog food for joints and bones, PetYu® offers tested quality developed by veterinarians.
Why autumn is the ideal time
Especially in autumn, when the immune system and digestion are under great strain, it's worth supplementing your diet with targeted nutrients. Digestion+ acts like a daily "inner strengthener." The natural ingredients regulate the intestinal environment and activate the body's defenses – a type of nutritional supplement for dogs and cats based on cutting-edge research. "Many owners only realize how closely the intestines and health are connected when their pet is already ill," says Vettese. "With PetYu®, we want to make this knowledge accessible – so that dogs and cats stay healthy, active, and by our side for a long time."
