What is Iso-kel?

Iso-kel from the Belgian manufacturer Kela Veterinaria is a complementary feed in granule form for dogs and cats. Its main ingredient is ispaghula, the seed husk of Plantago ovata, better known as psyllium. This plant-based fibre has been used for many years to support digestive health in pets.

How does ispaghula work?

Ispaghula is a soluble fibre that absorbs water in the intestines and forms a soft gel. This allows Iso-kel to regulate stool consistency rather than working in just one direction:

For loose stools: The fibre binds excess moisture, helping to make stools firmer and better formed.

For hard stools: The gel increases the volume of the intestinal contents and makes them softer and smoother, supporting easier bowel movements.

When is Iso-kel used?

Pet owners and veterinarians choose Iso-kel, among other things, for:

• temporarily loose or inconsistent stools, for example after a change of diet or during periods of stress;

• a tendency towards hard stools or difficult bowel movements;

• older dogs and cats with slower intestinal activity;

• support alongside a diet recommended by a veterinarian.

If the symptoms persist, your pet is lethargic, is vomiting, or you notice blood in the stool, always contact your veterinarian.

Dosage

Usage tips

• Mix the granules into (wet) food. When using dry food, moisten the food slightly first.

• Make sure your pet always has sufficient fresh drinking water available: fibre works best with adequate fluid intake.

• For small dogs, start at the lower end of the dosage range; for large dogs, use the higher end.

• Preferably do not administer Iso-kel at the same time as medication. If in doubt, consult your veterinarian.

• If you wish to use Iso-kel for longer than 2 weeks, consult your veterinarian first.

Frequently asked questions

Does Iso-kel work for both diarrhoea and constipation?
Yes. Ispaghula regulates stool consistency in both directions: it binds excess moisture in loose stools and makes hard stools softer and easier to pass.

What is the difference between Iso-kel and psyllium?
Iso-kel consists of 90% ispaghula, which is the same plant-based fibre commonly known as psyllium. The difference is in the format: Iso-kel is a ready-to-use granule product specifically dosed for dogs and cats.

How quickly does Iso-kel work?
Many pet owners notice a difference in stool consistency within a few days. The effect varies depending on the animal and the situation.

Can I give Iso-kel to my cat?
Yes, Iso-kel is suitable for cats. The recommended dosage is 2 teaspoons, 1 to 2 times daily, mixed into the food.

How long can I give Iso-kel?
The standard period of use is 1 to 2 weeks. If you want to use it for longer or on a long-term basis, consult your veterinarian first.

Does my dog need to drink more when using Iso-kel?
Always make sure your dog has sufficient fresh water available. Ispaghula absorbs fluid in the intestines and works best when your pet is adequately hydrated.

My dog has swallowed something. Can Iso-kel help?
Some pet owners use fibre to support intestinal passage, but if your dog has swallowed a foreign object, you should always contact your veterinarian first.

Is Iso-kel the same as Isogel?
No, they are different products from different manufacturers. Both are based on plant-based fibres to support healthy stool consistency.
