What is Metamucil (psyllium)? Psyllium is a bulk-forming fiber laxative. Psyllium works by absorbing liquid and swelling in the intestines to create a softer, bulky stool that is easier to pass. Psyllium is used to treat occasional constipation or bowel irregularity. Psyllium may also help lower cholesterol when used together with a diet low in cholesterol and saturated fat.
For dogs however, you might be surprised that Metamucil is being prescribed by vets in cases of hard stools and soft stools as well. If your pet dog is constipated, a few doses of Metamucil can usually resolve the problem within 24 hours. And if your dog is very prone to constipation, giving Metamucil regularly will also result in soft but firm stools everyday.
