Featured Choice｜GI Soothing, 3.46 oz (98 g)｜ Other Products

GI Soothing by Standard Process Veterinary is a gut health supplement for dogs and cats with probiotics, postbiotics, and soothing botanicals. Developed with over 50 years of combined clinical veterinary experience, GI Soothing: 

Calms and soothes the gastrointestinal system
Helps manage occasional diarrhea, sensitive stomach, and nervous gut
Supports healthy bowel and digestive function

Large epidemiologic studies indicate that up to 20–30% of small‑animal veterinary consultations involve GI complaints1 and acute diarrhea affects approximately 8–10% of dogs annually2.
GI Soothing supports digestive comfort during times of acute gastrointestinal upset by helping calm the GI tract and encouraging the body’s natural ability to restore balance. By promoting a calmer gut environment, it supports the body’s inherent ability to repair and restore the gastrointestinal lining without persistent irritation. 
GI Soothing features a biotic blend made of S. boulardii and Lactobacillus fermentate — clinically studied in dogs — to help support a healthy gut environment. Meanwhile, the plant mucilage blend gently coats and soothes the intestinal lining.
Biotic Blend of Probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii and Postbiotic Lactobacillus fermentate (90mg per scoop)

Probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii supports gastrointestinal health by modulating inflammatory signaling, enhancing gut immune markers, and helping stabilize the gut-brain axis through effects on intestinal barrier function and microbial balance
Postbiotic Lactobacillus fermentate (L. fermentum, L. delbrueckii) delivers bioactive fermentation metabolites from lactic acid-producing bacteria, helping modulate innate immune signaling, support stool quality and microbial diversity, and strengthen antioxidant stress‑response pathways without relying on live microbial colonization

Mucilage Blend of Marshmallow Root, Slippery Elm Bark, and Okra (240 mg per scoop)
Plant‑derived mucilage from marshmallow, slippery elm, and okra provides viscous polysaccharides that swell with water to form a soothing gel, helping create a protective mucosal barrier, support digestion, and promote gastrointestinal comfort during periods of irritation or instability
Antibiotics are commonly used to manage acute digestive disturbances in dogs, but research shows they can disrupt gut microbial balance beyond the treatment period, highlighting the importance of supporting gastrointestinal stability and microbial resilience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a minimum age for GI Soothing?
There is no minimum age for GI Soothing. In our field study to date, puppies are responding well to the formula. 

Can GI Soothing be given with medications?
It is recommended to take medication and GI Soothing at least two hours apart.
 
How long should GI Soothing be used?
This will be different for each animal. Early field results have shown improvement in stool quality within 7 days. If the animal’s condition worsens, this should be discussed with the prescribing veterinarian. 

Why does GI Soothing contain yeast?
Saccharomyces boulardii is a beneficial yeast that has been studied in dogs and shown to support a healthy intestinal environment and stress-related GI balance. It helps maintain healthy immune signaling in the gut.
Nutritional yeast is included for B vitamins and beta-glucans for cellular energy and support.
 
What is spirulina?
Spirulina is a nutrient-dense blue-green algae that provides protein, antioxidants, and trace nutrients. In GI Soothing, it helps nourish beneficial microbes and supports a healthy gut environment.
 
What is mucilage?
Mucilage is a natural plant gel that when hydrated becomes slippery and coats and soothes mucous membranes, supports GI comfort, can promote healthy bowel function, and provide gentle, whole-food support for digestive irritation.
