About Product
VetIQ Healthy Treats Intestinal Aid with Real Chicken for Puppies, by VetIQ (formerly Mark + Chappell), is a targeted functional treat formulated to address one of the most common and distressing challenges in early puppyhood: poor intestinal hygiene and compromised digestive health. A developing puppy's gut is especially vulnerable to microbial imbalances, loose stools, and insufficient nutrient uptake, all of which can hinder healthy growth and vitality in these crucial early weeks. This product delivers a patented, scientifically validated blend of multi-species seaweeds and prebiotic fibre in a deliciously irresistible crispy-shell, cream-filled treat, making gut support an enjoyable part of every day for your canine companion. Animeal is proud to offer VetIQ Healthy Treats Intestinal Aid as a trusted solution for puppy parents who refuse to compromise on their little one's digestive wellness.
Ingredients:
Seaweed Meal (Brown, Green, and Red Seaweed Blend) - Patented Multi-Species Complex: This proprietary, patented combination of brown seaweed (such as Ascophyllum nodosum), green seaweed, and red seaweed works at the intestinal mucosal level to modulate the microenvironment of the gut. Bioactive polysaccharides and phlorotannins present in these seaweeds create conditions within the digestive tract that are less hospitable to harmful microorganisms, supporting natural intestinal hygiene without disrupting the beneficial microbial population. The multi-species approach ensures a broader spectrum of bioactive compounds than any single seaweed source can provide, targeting multiple control points along the intestinal surface simultaneously.
Inulin (0.5%) - Prebiotic Fibre from Chicory Root (Cichorium intybus): Inulin is a fructooligosaccharide (FOS) that resists enzymatic digestion in the stomach and small intestine, arriving intact in the large intestine where it selectively ferments to feed beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species. This selective fermentation produces short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), particularly butyrate, which serve as the primary energy source for colonocytes and play a direct role in maintaining the integrity of the gut epithelial barrier. By nurturing the colonisation of beneficial flora, inulin reinforces your puppy's first line of digestive defence from the inside out.
Real Chicken (Poultry Protein, 7%): Chicken provides high-quality, highly digestible animal protein to support lean muscle development in growing puppies. The amino acid profile of poultry protein, including leucine, lysine, and methionine, reinforces cellular repair and growth, while the inclusion of real chicken ensures superior palatability, making even the most reluctant puppy eager to accept their daily gut support routine.
Vitamin A (2,000 IU/kg): Retinol (Vitamin A) plays an indispensable role in maintaining the structural integrity of intestinal epithelial cells, directly supporting the mucous membrane lining that acts as the gut's protective barrier. At the cellular level, it regulates the differentiation and proliferation of intestinal epithelial cells, ensuring that the mucosal barrier remains cohesive and functional against pathogenic challenges.
Vitamin D3 (300 IU/kg) Cholecalciferol: Vitamin D3 in its active form (calcitriol) modulates both the innate and adaptive immune responses within the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), helping to reduce inflammatory signalling in the intestinal wall. It also facilitates calcium and phosphorus absorption, contributing to skeletal development, which is particularly critical during the rapid bone growth phase of puppyhood.
Vitamin E (RRR Alpha-Tocopherol): The natural, most bioavailable form of Vitamin E, RRR alpha-tocopherol is a potent lipid-soluble antioxidant that neutralises reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the gastrointestinal tract. By protecting intestinal cell membranes from oxidative damage, it reduces the cellular stress that can compromise mucosal integrity and exacerbate digestive sensitivity.
Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C Derivative) and Rosemary Extract Oil: This duo of natural antioxidant preservatives not only extends the shelf life of the product without recourse to artificial additives but also delivers ancillary antioxidant support. Ascorbyl palmitate, being both water- and fat-soluble, offers broader free-radical scavenging action than standard ascorbic acid. Rosemary extract (Rosmarinus officinalis) contains carnosic acid and rosmarinic acid, known to reinforce antioxidant defences and carry mild antimicrobial properties.
Omega-3 (2.4%) and Omega-6 (5.7%) Fatty Acids from Canola Oil: These essential polyunsaturated fatty acids play a dual role: systemically, they support healthy skin and coat development, while within the gut, omega-3 fatty acids (particularly EPA and DHA precursors) help modulate pro-inflammatory cytokine pathways, reducing the likelihood of intestinal inflammation that can arise in puppies navigating dietary transitions or environmental stressors.
Features and Benefits
Patented Seaweed Complex for Natural Intestinal...
Patented Seaweed Complex for Natural Intestinal Hygiene:
VetIQ Intestinal Aid is the only puppy treat on the market featuring a patented blend of brown, green, and red seaweeds with scientifically proven results, formulated to maintain natural control across all areas of intestinal hygiene. This clinically validated complex targets the gut environment at the mucosal level, creating conditions that deter harmful bacteria while preserving the health of the beneficial microbiome your puppy depends on for optimal growth.
Prebiotic Fibre for a Thriving Gut Microbiome:
Each treat delivers a measured dose of inulin, a natural prebiotic fibre that actively nourishes beneficial gut bacteria, reinforcing the foundation of a balanced digestive ecosystem. A well-populated microbiome not only promotes firmer, more consistent stools but also enhances your puppy's capacity to extract and absorb the nutrients they need to thrive during this rapid developmental phase.
Supports Nutrient Absorption for Healthy Growth:
By restoring and maintaining an optimal intestinal environment, these treats directly support your puppy's ability to absorb vital nutrients such as proteins, vitamins, and minerals from their regular diet. For a growing puppy, maximised nutrient uptake translates to stronger bones, healthier muscles, a more vibrant coat, and a more energetic, engaged companion.
Gentle on Sensitive Puppy Stomachs:
Unlike many clinical gut interventions that can cause additional gastrointestinal disruption, VetIQ Intestinal Aid treats are specifically crafted to be gentle on the immature digestive systems of puppies as young as four weeks of age. The formulation prioritises softness of action, supporting gut health without triggering further sensitivity or adverse reactions in even the most delicate young canine digestive tracts.
Enriched with Essential Vitamins and Omega Fatty Acids:
Beyond their core intestinal function, each treat is fortified with Vitamins A, D3, and E alongside natural omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, delivering comprehensive nutritional reinforcement with every serving. These nutrients collectively support immune function, skin and coat health, and bone development, making each treat a holistic wellness moment, not just a digestive supplement.
Irresistibly Palatable with Real Chicken at Its Core:
Formulated with 7% real chicken and a uniquely satisfying crispy cereal shell housing a smooth, cream-filled centre, these treats are designed to appeal instinctively to even the fussiest puppy palates. Palatability is not an afterthought here. When a treat tastes this good, your canine companion will actively seek out the very product that is keeping their gut in peak condition.
No Artificial Nasties, Just Clean Functional Nutrition:
VetIQ Intestinal Aid treats are entirely free from artificial colours, flavours, and added sugar, with natural antioxidants (ascorbyl palmitate and rosemary extract) used in place of synthetic preservatives. At only 3 calories per treat, they deliver targeted gut support without contributing meaningfully to your puppy's daily caloric load, making them safe for consistent, guilt-free use.
Resealable Packaging for Lasting Freshness:
Each 50g pack features a resealable closure, designed to preserve the texture, aroma, and bioactive integrity of every treat between servings. For a household managing the dietary needs of a growing puppy, this practical design detail ensures that no treat is ever wasted and every serving retains its full functional value.
Usage and Applications

How to Use:
Offer VetIQ Healthy Treats Intestinal Aid to your puppy as a complementary treat alongside their regular daily meals. The treats are suitable for puppies from four weeks of age and are ideal for use during the weaning period and throughout puppyhood. They may be given directly by hand, used as a positive reinforcement reward during training sessions, or placed inside an enrichment toy. Ensure your puppy always has access to fresh, clean water during and after treat time. Because these treats are a complementary food and not a complete meal, they should be given in addition to, and not as a replacement for, a nutritionally balanced puppy diet appropriate for your puppy's breed and size. Always reseal the pack firmly after each use. If you are introducing these treats to your puppy for the first time, offer them gradually over the first few days to allow the digestive system to adjust, particularly in very young or sensitive puppies.
Storage Advice:
Store unopened VetIQ Healthy Treats Intestinal Aid in a cool, dry place below 25 degrees Celsius, away from direct sunlight. Do not freeze. Once opened, reseal the pack firmly after each use and consume within the period indicated on the packaging to maintain freshness and bioactive efficacy. Keep out of reach of children and other household pets when not in use. Do not use after the best-before date printed on the back of the pack.
