Digestive Enzyme Support Tablets for Dogs and Cats
Product Description
PanaKare Plus Tablets are a veterinary prescription supplement that helps support healthy digestion in both dogs and cats. They contain pancrelipase, which is sourced from pigs, and provides the key enzymes needed to break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. This enzyme replacement therapy is especially helpful for pets with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, enabling them to digest their food more effectively and absorb nutrients better during their daily meals.
Benefits
- Supports Digestion: Provides pancreatic enzymes that assist dogs and cats in breaking down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates during meals.
- EPI Management: Used in enzyme replacement therapy to help pets suffering from exocrine pancreatic insufficiency digest nutrients more effectively.
- Improves Nutrient Absorption: Helps pets absorb essential nutrients from food when the pancreas cannot produce sufficient digestive enzymes.
- Supports Healthy Appetite: Helps address malnutrition associated with pancreatic enzyme deficiency, which can contribute to improved appetite in pets.
- Veterinary Prescription Therapy: Designed for controlled use under veterinary guidance to support digestive health in dogs and cats.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is PanaKare Plus used for in dogs and cats?
Ans: PanaKare Plus Tablets are used for pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy in dogs and cats that can't produce enough digestive enzymes. They help break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. This improves digestion and nutrient absorption in pets with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency or similar digestive issues.
Q2: How does PanaKare Plus help pets with digestive problems?
Ans: PanaKare Plus contains a mix of pancrelipase enzymes, such as lipase, protease, and amylase. These enzymes assist in digestion by breaking down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates during meals. As a result, pets with pancreatic insufficiency can more easily digest their food and absorb the essential nutrients they require.
Q3: How often should PanaKare Plus tablets be given to pets?
Ans: PanaKare Plus tablets are typically administered before each meal to assist digestion. The exact dosage depends on the pet’s weight and the severity of enzyme deficiency, but the manufacturer provides general dosage guidance that veterinarians may adjust for individual pets.
Q4: Is PanaKare Plus available without a veterinary prescription?
Ans: No. PanaKare Plus is a prescription animal drug. Federal law restricts its use to administration by or under the order of a licensed veterinarian, ensuring proper diagnosis and treatment of digestive conditions such as exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in pets.
Q5: What digestive enzymes are present in PanaKare Plus tablets?
Ans: Each PanaKare Plus tablet contains pancrelipase enzymes derived from porcine pancreas. These include lipase for fat digestion, protease for protein digestion, and amylase for carbohydrate digestion, which together help restore digestive function in pets with pancreatic enzyme deficiency.
Q6: Are there natural alternatives to Panakare Plus for EPI?
Ans: Some natural enzyme supplements exist, but their efficacy is often lower than Panakare Plus. Always consult your veterinarian before trying alternatives to ensure your pet receives effective care.
