Slippery elm is known for its soothing and mucilage properties. When mixed with water, it forms a gel-like substance that can help coat and soothe the gastrointestinal tract. It may alleviate diarrhea, constipation, and upset stomach symptoms in pets. Slippery elm can also help relieve the throat and coughing in pets. This can be particularly useful if your dog or cat is experiencing respiratory discomfort. Its soothing and lubricating properties can also benefit cats with hairballs.
