No Scoot Supplement Powder

What is No Scoot® Supplement Powder?

No Scoot® Supplement Powder (No Scoot® Supplement Powder Plus Pumpkin for Dogs) is a dietary supplement for dogs that helps support normal bowel movements as well as anal gland health and function. It contains a blend of ingredients, including flaxseed, psyllium husk, pumpkin root, dandelion root, and other sources of crude fiber.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not review non-drug health supplements (e.g., herbals, nutraceuticals, shampoos, and other supplements) for safety or effectiveness before they are sold to the public. Manufacturers of non-drug health supplements must ensure their supplements are safe and labeled accurately. The FDA requires that these non-pharmaceuticals contain a disclaimer that says, “This supplement is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.” Health Canada licenses “veterinary health supplements” after reviewing safety, efficacy, and manufacturing information provided by the manufacturer. These supplements are not tested by Health Canada.

Your veterinarian is the best source of information about the safety of non-drug health supplements in pets. Just because a supplement is natural does not mean it is safe. All medicines and medicinal plants are potentially toxic if used inappropriately or given at high doses. Supplements can also have side effects, like pharmaceuticals. Few supplements and herbs have been subjected to rigorous scientific trials to determine their efficacy. 

Although the information in this handout may be helpful, it may also be incomplete and may not represent the full range of effects the supplement could have on your pet.

How do I give my pet No Scoot® Supplement Powder?

• No Scoot® Supplement Powder is given orally.
• Follow the label instructions for dosage.
• Mix the powder with your pet’s food. It has natural flavoring to encourage your dog to eat it.
• Ensure your dog has access to fresh water, as the increase in dietary fiber will require an increase in water intake.

This supplement may take several days to affect the body and visible signs of improvement are not always noted.

What if I miss giving my pet the supplement?

If you miss a dose, give it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for the next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and resume the regular dosing schedule. Do not give the pet two doses at once. 

Are there any potential side effects from No Scoot® Supplement Powder?

It is important to watch for signs of an allergic reaction over the entire course of treatment (e.g., irregular breathing, rash, fever, puffiness and swelling around the face).
