“If you have a question on your exam and don’t know the answer, put down ‘enzymes’ and you’ll likely be correct.” The point is that enzymes made by the body for specific functions are essential to life because they affect nearly every physical or biological process. Enzymes help normal, healthy pets use nutrients and support the righting of gastrointestinal disorders, whether involving simple vomiting, diarrhea, chronic or complete constipation, anal
nzymes are among the most com- monly used supplements for cats and dogs because they are widely
sac disorders or inflammatory bowel dis- ease, regardless of cause. Because sick pets often suffer from reduced appetite and impaired digestion, enzyme supple- ments are often added to a dietetic regi- men to improve their nutritional status. Helpful enzymes include proteases,
carbohydrases (like amylase) and lipases that break down proteins, carbohydrates and fats, respectively. Digestive enzymes are highly specific both to the type of food they act upon and the conditions under which they work. They can be de- rived from pancreatic, plant or microbial sources (bacteria or fungi).
While pancreatic enzymes ac-
tivate mainly in the small intestines (being inactive in the stomach’s lower pH environment), plant and microbial enzymes begin digesting foods in the stomach immediately after ingestion and likely even on the food being pre- pared, if the enzymes are added several minutes before they are eaten. Enzymes from microbial and plant origins have a broader spectrum of activity because they are stable and active through a wide pH range of 3.0 to 8.0. Enzymes may be helpful for pets with inflammatory conditions, including arthritis, dermatitis, allergies, asthma and cancer. In such cases, they should
