Bulk Psyllium Extract Powder (derived from Plantago ovata husk) is a high-fiber ingredient rich in soluble fiber. It absorbs water and forms a gel-like matrix that helps regulate stool consistency, support intestinal transit, and promote digestive balance in dogs and cats. Veterinary references commonly use psyllium as a fiber supplement for constipation, diarrhea management, and gastrointestinal health support.
