Designed to calm intestinal inflammation, help seal and rebuild a compromised gut lining, and restore the conditions the gut microbiome needs to recover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eLeaky gut — sometimes called the \"great imitator\" — happens when the single-cell lining of the intestine becomes inflamed and overly permeable. Undigested proteins, toxins, and bacteria leak into the bloodstream, triggering chronic low-grade inflammation that presents as itchy skin, yeast overgrowth, food sensitivities, recurrent digestive upset, and a long list of immune-related conditions. Gut Guard addresses this at the source. Available in 106g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"wl-callout\"\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eUsage \u0026amp; safety notes.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    Give once daily, ideally at mealtime. Gut Guard is intended for 60-day courses, not continuous daily use — after 60 days, rotate to \u003ca href=\"\/products\/four-leaf-rover-protect-soil-based-probiotics\"\u003eProtect\u003c\/a\u003e for everyday gut maintenance. If symptoms return or have not improved, Four Leaf Rover recommends 30 days on Protect before repeating another 60-day course of Gut Guard.\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cspan class=\"section-heading\"\u003eL-Glutamine — Fuel for the Gut Lining\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eL-Glutamine (1,500mg per serving) is the primary energy source for enterocytes — the cells that line the intestinal wall. When the gut lining is compromised, these cells need glutamine in far greater quantities than a normal diet provides. By supplying this fuel directly, L-Glutamine supports the repair of the mucosal barrier, strengthens the tight junctions between cells, and underpins a healthy inflammatory response throughout the digestive tract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cspan class=\"section-heading\"\u003eN-Acetyl Glucosamine — Gut Wall Structural Support\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eN-Acetyl Glucosamine (400mg) contributes to the structural integrity of the mucosal lining. It supports the repair and maintenance of healthy connective tissue in the gut wall, working alongside L-Glutamine to rebuild the physical barrier that prevents leakage into the bloodstream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cspan class=\"section-heading\"\u003ePediococcus Acidilactici — The Leaky-Gut Probiotic\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eMost probiotic strains are fragile — destroyed by stomach acid, heat, or the inflammatory environment of a distressed gut. Pediococcus acidilactici is different. Naturally found in fermented vegetables, it survives extreme ranges of pH and temperature, making it one of the few probiotic species robust enough to colonise an inflamed gut. This is why it sits at the heart of Gut Guard's formula and why Gut Guard works where conventional probiotics fall short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cspan class=\"section-heading\"\u003eSpore-Forming Bacillus Probiotics\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eGut Guard's proprietary probiotic blend also includes Bacillus coagulans and Bacillus subtilis — spore-forming soil-based species with a hard protective outer shell. They survive stomach acid and heat, activate in the colon, and produce byproducts that suppress harmful bacteria and support healthy digestion. The same family of probiotics as in Protect, chosen for the same reason: they actually reach the gut alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cspan class=\"section-heading\"\u003eMarshmallow Root \u0026amp; Slippery Elm — Coating an Irritated Gut\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eCertified organic marshmallow root extract (150mg) and certified organic slippery elm (100mg) are mucilage-producing herbs that form a gel-like coating on contact with water. Applied to the intestinal lining, this coating soothes inflamed tissue, protects irritated mucosal surfaces, and creates the physical conditions the gut wall needs to heal. Both have been used in human and veterinary herbalism for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cspan class=\"section-heading\"\u003eDeglycyrrhizinated Licorice \u0026amp; Aloe Vera — Anti-Inflammatory Support\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eDeglycyrrhizinated licorice root extract (200mg) — \"DGL\" — supports the gastric mucosa by improving circulation, stimulating the secretion of a protective mucosal layer, and encouraging new cell growth. The deglycyrrhizinated form is safe for longer-term use. Certified organic aloe vera leaf extract (150mg) contributes amino acids, enzymes, vitamin C, and concentrated anti-inflammatory support for the gut lining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cspan class=\"section-heading\"\u003eHumicSure — Mineral Support \u0026amp; Toxin Binding\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eHumicSure (humic and fulvic acid) provides trace minerals, antioxidants, and supports the body's natural clearance of heavy metals and environmental toxins. Many dogs with chronic leaky gut also carry an accumulated toxin load from food, water, pesticides, and medications — HumicSure helps address that dimension of the problem alongside the gut repair work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cspan class=\"section-heading\"\u003eThe 60-Day Course \u0026amp; Rotation Protocol\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eGut Guard is designed to do its work in focused 60-day courses, not as a daily supplement taken indefinitely. Four Leaf Rover's guidance is clear: use Gut Guard for up to 60 days, then rotate to \u003ca href=\"\/products\/four-leaf-rover-protect-soil-based-probiotics\"\u003eProtect\u003c\/a\u003e for everyday gut maintenance. If your dog's symptoms return or have not resolved, give 30 days on Protect before starting another 60-day course of Gut Guard. This protocol is how dogs with chronic gut issues actually heal — the gut lining needs time to rebuild without constant intervention, and the microbiome needs different support during maintenance than during repair. Running Gut Guard continuously works against this cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cspan class=\"section-heading\"\u003eThird-Party Tested — Certificate of Analysis Per Batch\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eEvery batch of Gut Guard is third-party tested for pesticides, heavy metals, and microbial contaminants, with a Certificate of Analysis available on request. Four Leaf Rover holds the NASC Quality Seal — the benchmark for quality control in the pet supplement industry — and is certified Plastic Negative by rePurpose Global, removing twice the plastic from the environment that it creates. Manufacturing is GMP-compliant. Ingredients are sourced from trusted suppliers across New Zealand, North America, and Europe, with organic chosen wherever possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cspan class=\"section-heading\"\u003eIngredients\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #888; margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eActive ingredients per serving.

Gut Guard pairs particularly well with \u003ca href=\"\/products\/four-leaf-rover-yeast-guard\"\u003eYeast Guard\u003c\/a\u003e for dogs with concurrent yeast overgrowth, and with \u003ca href=\"\/products\/four-leaf-rover-harmony\"\u003eHarmony\u003c\/a\u003e for dogs whose leaky gut manifests as allergy-like skin symptoms. It can also be combined with Safe-Sea, Hip \u0026amp; Joint, Bovine Colostrum, or any other Four Leaf Rover supplement. For prescription medications — particularly blood pressure medications, diuretics, or steroids — give Gut Guard 1–2 hours apart from the medication and consult your veterinarian first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"faq-block\"\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"question\"\u003eHow soon will I see results?\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"answer\"\u003eMany owners notice improved stool quality, calmer digestion, reduced itching, and less paw licking within 1–3 weeks of consistent use. The deeper repair work — rebuilding the gut lining and shifting the microbiome — takes the full 60-day course. Don't stop early even if symptoms improve quickly; the gut continues healing beneath the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"faq-block\"\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"question\"\u003eIs Gut Guard safe for puppies and small dogs?\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"answer\"\u003eYes, using the appropriate weight-based dose. For puppies under 6 months with digestive issues, consult your veterinarian first — the priority for young puppies is usually fresh, whole-food nutrition and identifying the underlying cause of gut distress rather than supplementation. For adult small dogs, start at half the recommended dose for the first week before building to the full dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"faq-block\"\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"question\"\u003eWhat if my dog needs a longer course than 60 days?\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"answer\"\u003eFor chronic or severe cases, Four Leaf Rover's protocol is to run a 60-day Gut Guard course, follow with 30 days on \u003ca href=\"\/products\/four-leaf-rover-protect-soil-based-probiotics\"\u003eProtect\u003c\/a\u003e, then start another 60-day Gut Guard course if needed. This rotation can continue until symptoms resolve. For dogs with persistent gut issues beyond this, it's worth investigating underlying causes — food sensitivities, parasitic infections, or chronic medication use — with a veterinarian experienced in gut health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"faq-block\"\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"question\"\u003eWhere can I buy Four Leaf Rover in Singapore?\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"answer\"\u003eWoof Living stocks the Four Leaf Rover range in Singapore.
