The cat digestive system.

The cat digestive system was only intended to digest raw food. Cat digestive problems happen when cats are not fed a 100% raw diet. With today's modern cat diet, cats need additional enzyme supplements to help break down and digest their food.

Using Total-Zymes® on your pet's food is as close to the benefits of an all raw food diet as you can get.

What Are Digestive Enzymes?
Enzymes are present in every cell in both plants and animals. Enyzmes are substances that begin the chemical reactions in the stomach needed to break down food. Enzymes are able to do this while remaining unchanged themselves. Enzymes are highly specific in their function and work only on a certain function. For example, the enzyme protease only works to digest protein, and lipase only works to digest fat.

But why does my pet need so many enzymes?
We have looked into many cat foods and treats. Did you know that your pet could be getting added sugars and dairy products? We have noticed this trend when we went to the largest pet expo in the US. So we have added additional enzymes to our already superior formula to handle this trend.

We always advise that you do not give your pets sugar but there is a lot of hidden sugars and dairy you sometimes do not know about in that cute little kitty cake and cookie treats.

It is very hard for cat to digest cooked and processed food no less milk and dairy like yogurt and sugar as it is, so this is why we have now have 16 enzymes so you're pet can handle any type of treat or food. So now you do not have to worry we got it covered.

We only use vegetarian enzymes (plant based) in Total-Zymes® .

Modern Cat Food…

Are enzymes missing in processed dog and cat foods?
Modern food processing techniques and all types of cooking destroy nearly 100% of the enzymes naturally occurring in food. Enzymes are completely denatured when exposed to temperatures over 118 deg. for any length of time. The modern pet diet consisting of cooked and processed food is essentially devoid of active enzymes.

All raw food naturally contains the proper types and proportions of enzymes necessary to assist in the process of decomposition. In addition, when raw food is eaten, chewing ruptures the cell membranes and releases these indigenous food enzymes, many of which survive and contribute to the digestive process.

Plant or Animal Based Enzymes:

What is the difference between pancreatic enzymes, animal based enzymes and non-animal enzymes?
Total-Zymes® does NOT contain any animal based enzymes and here is why! Supplemental pancreatic, plant, and microbial enzymes are all designed to enhance digestion. However, plant and microbial enzymes use a "proactive" approach and begin working on foods sooner after ingestion. Pancreatic enzymes do not go to work right away. Pancreatic enzymes usually begin working approximately 30 minutes after food reaches the stomach. Because of their stability in the acidic environment of the upper stomach, plant and microbial enzymes can begin their digestive action immediately after the food reaches this region. With the increased exposure to digestive enzyme activity, food has a better chance of being broken down into small, more readily absorbed particles.

The pet digestive system

How do enzyme supplements help the cat digestive system?

Enzymes are an integral part of the digestive process. From the time food enters the mouth, enzymes are at work breaking the food down into smaller and smaller units until it can be absorbed through the intestinal wall. These enzymes come from two sources, those found in the food itself, and those produced in the body.

These enzymes include protease, which breaks long protein chains (polypeptides) into smaller amino acid chains and eventually into single amino acids, amylase that reduces large carbohydrates (starches and other polysaccharides) to disaccharides including sucrose, lactose, and maltose, lipase that digests fats (triglycerides) into free fatty acids and glycerol, and cellulase. Cellulase, which is not found in the system, breaks the bonds found in fiber.

Most food enzymes are essentially destroyed.

Most food enzymes are essentially destroyed under the conditions used to cook and process food, leaving foods devoid of enzyme activity. Placing the full digestive burden on your pets body, the body's digestive process can become over-stressed. Supplemental enzymes can support the level of digestion and help the level of nutrient absorption.

Is supplementation really necessary?
The primary purpose of enzymes in supplement form is to enhance the enzymes available in raw food, and replace those enzymes lost when food is cooked or processed. In addition, supplementation enables more digestion to begin in the gastric region, easing the burden on the digestive system as a whole. The earlier that digestion can begin, the greater the benefits.

Every pet can benefit from supplementation with enzymes. Even healthy pets can get support in absorption and utilization of nutrients through the use of digestive enzymes. Of course the benefits will vary, depending upon the dogs and cats diet and general health. Individuals in good health can expect to notice less fullness after meals, increased energy, faster emptying of the stomach contents, decreased gas,fewer hair balls and more regular bowel habits.

Not All Enzyme Products Are The Same
Probiotics and enzymes are becoming the new healthy trend in the people and PET industry. The truth is probiotics and enzymes are an essential supplement for all pets. However, it seems that a host of new probiotics for pets and enzyme supplements are coming on the market. Pet food companies are also attempting to add enzymes and probiotics to their food. Without proper packaging, handling and storage this is not very effective.

You want the best for your pet so make sure you are getting a product that is back by years of knowledge and expertise, not new companies trying to go with the trend.
