When Your Pet Eats
Something They Shouldn't.
Dogs and cats have a talent for eating things they shouldn't. Duotox is a dual-action toxin binder that helps protect the gut and support recovery when dietary mishaps happen.

Dietary Indiscretion Is One of the Most Common Reasons Dogs Visit the Vet.
Dogs in particular are notorious scavengers — bin raiding, eating things found on walks, chewing plants, stealing food. Cats are more selective but not immune. When a pet ingests something it shouldn't, unwanted substances enter the digestive tract and can be absorbed into the bloodstream, causing anything from mild upset to more serious symptoms.
Acting quickly is important. The sooner a toxin-binding supplement is given, the more effectively it can intercept substances before they're fully absorbed. Duotox is formulated to act rapidly in the gut, binding unwanted substances and supporting the body's natural elimination process.
Vomiting
The body's first response to ingesting something harmful — gut support aids recovery
Diarrhoea
Loose stools following dietary indiscretion indicate gut disruption that needs support
Lethargy
Unusual tiredness after eating something unknown can signal the body is working to process it
Abdominal discomfort
Restlessness, hunching, or reluctance to be touched on the belly following ingestion
Important — know when to call your vet
Duotox is appropriate for general dietary indiscretion and mild digestive upset. If your pet has ingested something you know to be toxic — medications, antifreeze, xylitol, certain plants, or large quantities of any substance — contact your vet immediately. Do not delay veterinary treatment with a supplement alone in these cases. Call us on 0113 868 6100.
Duotox Dual-Action
Toxin Binder
Duotox combines two complementary mechanisms to protect the gut and support recovery. The dual-action formula works simultaneously to bind unwanted substances within the digestive tract and support the body's natural process of eliminating them — providing faster, more comprehensive protection than a single-action product.
Available in three sizes, Duotox is a practical product to keep at home for any pet owner — particularly those with dogs that are known scavengers or have sensitive digestive systems.

- Acts rapidly within the digestive tract

Dual-Action — Two Mechanisms Working Together.
Most single-ingredient gut supplements work via one mechanism. Duotox uses two complementary approaches simultaneously, providing broader and more effective protection.
Binding
The first action targets unwanted substances directly in the digestive tract, binding to them before they can be absorbed through the gut wall into the bloodstream. Reducing absorption is the most important step in limiting the impact of ingested toxins.
Elimination support
The second action supports the body's natural process of moving bound substances through and out of the digestive system, helping to clear the gut efficiently and restore normal digestive function more quickly.
Gut recovery
Dietary indiscretion disrupts the gut lining and microbiome. Duotox helps settle and stabilise the digestive environment during recovery, reducing the duration and severity of vomiting and loose stools.
A Practical Product to Have at Home.
Duotox is most effective when given promptly — the sooner after ingestion, the more it can do. These are the situations where owners find it most useful.
Bin raiding & scavenging
Dogs that raid bins, steal food, or eat things found on walks are prime candidates. Having Duotox at home means you can act immediately rather than waiting to see what happens.
Eating plants or garden substances
Many common garden plants and substances are mildly toxic to pets. Duotox provides a first line of gut protection while you assess whether veterinary attention is needed.
Vomiting & diarrhoea of unknown cause
When your pet is unwell but you're not sure what triggered it, Duotox supports gut recovery while the body works through whatever caused the upset.
Rich or unusual food
Fatty foods, unusual treats, or accidental access to human food can cause significant digestive upset. Duotox helps the gut manage the impact and recover more quickly.
Outdoor cats
Cats that roam outdoors are exposed to a wide range of potential ingestion risks — prey animals, garden chemicals, other people's food. Duotox is useful first-response support.
Keep one in the cupboard
Like a first aid kit, Duotox is most valuable when you have it before you need it. For pet owners with known scavengers, it's a sensible household staple.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly does Duotox work?
Duotox begins working as soon as it reaches the digestive tract. For best results, administer as soon as possible after suspected ingestion — the earlier it's given, the more effectively it can intercept substances before absorption.
What's the difference between Duotox and Activated Charcoal?
Activated charcoal is a single-mechanism adsorbent. Duotox uses a dual-action approach — combining binding with elimination support — for broader and more comprehensive protection. Both are useful; Duotox is the more advanced option for dietary indiscretion and toxin exposure.
Can I use Duotox as a precaution before I know if my pet ate something harmful?
Yes — if you suspect your pet has eaten something but aren't sure what, giving Duotox promptly is a sensible precautionary measure while you assess the situation. It will not cause harm if given when it turns out not to be necessary.
Is Duotox safe for regular use?
Duotox is designed for use following specific incidents rather than as a daily supplement. If your pet has recurring digestive issues, a daily probiotic such as ProRestore+ or the Probiotic Digestive Paste is more appropriate for ongoing support.
When should I call the vet instead of using Duotox?
Contact your vet immediately if your pet has ingested a known toxin (medications, antifreeze, xylitol, certain plants), is showing severe symptoms, or is not improving within a few hours. Call us on 0113 868 6100 — Duotox is not a substitute for emergency veterinary treatment.
