Nutramax Proviable® Fiber Powder, 200g
Proviable Fiber Powder is a fiber supplement containing a blend of microcrystalline cellulose, apple fiber, psyllium husk, yeast beta-glucan, and gum arabic, provided by Mixlab for use in dogs and cats. This package contains 200 grams of powder.
The active ingredients per 2.6-gram teaspoon include 2210 mg of a proprietary fiber blend consisting of microcrystalline cellulose, apple fiber, psyllium husk fiber, yeast extract (a source of beta-glucans), and gum arabic. The inactive ingredient in this formulation is ground rice hulls.
To administer, mix the powder with your pet's food twice daily. Cats should receive a starting dose of 1/8 teaspoon twice per day, while dogs should receive 1/2 teaspoon for every 20 pounds of body weight twice per day. Fiber supplementation should be introduced gradually over a period of five to seven days, and you may double the initial amount if your veterinarian determines that a higher fiber intake is necessary to achieve the desired stool quality.
Proviable Fiber Powder provides a blend of insoluble and soluble dietary fiber sources, mixed into food. Dietary fiber is studied for its role in stool quality and gastrointestinal transit.
The powder combines several fiber sources, including psyllium husk and yeast-derived beta-1,3/1,6-glucan, intended to be introduced gradually. As a fiber supplement, it is not reviewed or approved by the FDA in the way a drug would be; your veterinarian determines whether added fiber is appropriate for your animal.

This information describes a dietary supplement. Supplements are not evaluated by the FDA for safety or effectiveness and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Consult your veterinarian before use.
As with any fiber supplement, introduce it gradually over 5–7 days, since increased stool frequency or volume can occur initially. Make sure fresh water is available at all times, as adequate hydration supports fiber's effect on stool consistency. Contact your veterinarian if you notice persistent vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, or a lack of appetite. As with any supplement, keep your veterinarian informed of everything your animal receives.
No. This is a dietary supplement and does not require a prescription. It's available for purchase directly through Mixlab.
It's mixed into food twice daily; dosing is based on your animal's weight per the label directions. Your veterinarian can help you determine the right starting amount.
Ask your veterinarian whether combining a fiber supplement with a probiotic supplement makes sense for your animal's specific digestive needs.
Proviable Fiber Powder is labeled for use in both dogs and cats, with species-specific dosing on the label. Your veterinarian can confirm the right amount for your animal.
