Why your dog’s stools are firm one day and loose the next

If you’re tired of playing poop roulette every morning, here’s what’s going on in his gut, and how you can see a difference in about 7 days.

One day his stool is firm.
The next day it’s loose.
The day after, firm again, like nothing happened.

And everybody makes it sound so simple. They’ll tell you all you need is the right food. Or a probiotic chew. Or a spoonful of pumpkin.

So maybe you tried a new food.
Maybe you tried a chew.
Maybe you tried something else.
A good week. Then another dead end.

And here you are, still playing poop roulette every morning. You still have no idea which poop you’re getting today.

The things you’ve tried might firm his stool up for a while. But it keeps coming back. Because they don’t address the root of the problem.

Here’s the REAL problem.

None of this is an accident

Not the good week.
Not the bad week.
Not even the firm stool that turns loose by the next walk.

The reason this happens has nothing to do with the brand of food, the flavor of chew or how careful you are.

It has everything to do with what happens inside his gut.

Because your dog’s gut works differently than you think.

Before anything he eats becomes a stool, billions of bacteria in his gut have to finish the job.
Some days those bacteria are well balanced, and he has a firm stool.
Other days it’s the complete opposite.

And most of what you’ve tried changes what goes into his gut. It doesn’t change the bacteria that process it.

That’s why good weeks and bad weeks keep taking turns.

Now here’s the good news

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could take him out, and already know which poop you’re getting?

It’s possible to support firm stools, day after day, by giving those bacteria what they need to stay in balance.

And when you start doing this, his gut gets the same help every single day.

That’s the shortcut to the stool you want.

Firm, formed, and the same on Thursday as it was on Monday.

3 things in 1 small capsule

So we took 3 highly specific things that work naturally with his gut.
And we put them in 1 small capsule.

1 · Probiotic

The first is a probiotic strain called Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415.

It has 6 clinical studies behind it.

One of them followed 773 shelter dogs.

2 · Fiber

Then the 2nd is FOS.

3 · Fiber

Then the 3rd is acacia gum.

They’re 2 fibers that feed good bacteria.

So you have a choice.

You could go and find these 3 separately.

Or you can use the capsule Jope’s cofounders built around them, after going through more than 20 probiotic candidates.
It’s called Jope Synbiotic GB-01® Gut Balance.

It’s veterinarian formulated, and it does one thing, and one thing only.

You twist it open and sprinkle it on the food he already eats.

Why a capsule, and not a chew

What many parents don’t realize is that a powder in a capsule is a whole other breed of probiotic.

There’s a big difference between a capsule and a probiotic chew.

Probiotic chew

—

A chew has to taste like a snack.

—
So it carries glycerin, flours, binders, flavorings and preservatives.
—
And many chews use strains with little or no published data in dogs.

GB-01® capsule

✓

A capsule doesn’t have to taste like anything.

✓
So the powder inside GB-01® has 1 inactive ingredient.

In about 7 days, you can see the difference

In dog studies on this strain, stool quality improved in under 7 days.

“Within a week we were seeing a massive improvement in her bowel movements and now, after a month, she has almost no bowel issues.”

The best part?

It only takes a few seconds a day.
And you don’t even have to change anything else in his bowl.

And Buffy isn’t the only one

There’s another group of dog parents who handle loose stools differently.
They give GB-01® every day.

Just like Julie, who had “tried many other brands”.

★★★★★

“His poops are firmer and he seems to have less gas and bloating.”

Julie D.

“

And just like Sarah and her dog Jazz.

★★★★★

“I honestly thought I wouldn’t find a solution for my dog’s loose stools… This synbiotic finally brought some stability to my dog’s gut. So thankful.”

You might have doubts

So let’s look at every one of them together.

You might doubt that this is any different from the last thing you tried.

Before, you probably changed what goes into his gut.
The one thing you were missing was help for the bacteria that process it.

You might doubt that it will work for your dog.

This strain has 6 clinical studies behind it, and one of them followed 773 shelter dogs.
And in about 7 days, you can see the difference for yourself.

You might doubt that he’ll eat it.
The powder has no flavoring, and it goes on the food he already eats.

And because every dog is different, GB-01® comes with a 90 day satisfaction guarantee.

What if his stool on Thursday looks like his stool on Monday?
