An Opinion On Probiotics For Dogs And Cats

The video and article are here.

In the past two years, exciting new research indicates that a complete pet probiotic can promote:

Overall gastrointestinal maintenance and healthFaster promotion of gut healthDefense from emotional and physiological stressorsSupport for pets in less-than-optimal health, such as runts, and shelter animals

How do probiotics do all this wonderful stuff? Let me take a moment to explain the power of probiotics.

The term probiotics originates from the Greek word that means “for life.” When ingested, these living microorganisms replenish the microflora in your pet’s intestinal tract. This results in the promotion of a number of health-enhancing functions, including enhanced digestive function.

But, why does your pet need these “health-enhancing functions?”

The answer is stress.

Just like humans, your pet encounters emotional and physiological stresses everyday – and every one of these stresses can potentially affect their GI tract.

You see, as the largest immune barrier in their body, the gastrointestinal track bears the brunt of these stresses.

Everything from eating sticks and grass, to dietary changes experienced when being boarded or even just you being gone for the day can rock the delicate balance of good bacteria… which opens the door to less-than-optimal health.

Add to that poor diet choices of highly processed pet foods as well as a stressor-filled environment and you can quickly understand why protecting your pet’s immune system, healthy digestion, and overall good health is so important.

As always, please consult your vet before administering any new product on your pets.
