Pet Probiotics Pet probiotics supplements given daily is an affordable and simple way maintain pet health. Pet probiotics improve and maintain a healthy GI tract which supports foundational wellness. Pet probiotics are an excellent way to keep your dog or cat healthy and well for a long time. A pet given these healthy microorganisms (bacteria) enjoy increased mineral and nutrient absorption, improved digestion, and enhanced the immune function. The visible benefits that pet probiotics provide are: less bouts of diarrhea, constipation, allergies, and better breath. For these reasons, veterinarians are recommending pet probiotics as a natural wellness supplement that stabilizes intestinal flora. When is the best time to start my pet on a probiotic supplement? Sick pets need probiotics, but, surprisingly, the best and most essential time to start supplementing your pet with probiotics is when they are well, and preferably, young. A cherished animal that begins a natural probiotic supplementation regimen during times of wellness as a puppy or kitten stands the best chance at health as they get older. Why? During the formative months, your pet is developing their natural immune and digestive systems—the gut (intestine) is essentially sterile and will take months for these healthy microorganisms to flourish. Since approximately 80% of your pet’s immune function is in the gut, it is vital that during these young months, that your pet’s digestive tract is seeded with healthy flora (healthy bacteria microorganisms, or “probiotics”). Studies show that these healthy microorganisms will help control pathogenic bacteria and avoid developing allergies or other health issues later in life. When should I give my pet probiotics? Pet’s given probiotics once per day during times of wellness have less health issues as a whole. When your pet is sick or ill, a therapeutic (3-5x) dose twice per day of probiotics may be in order. Pets suffering from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) will require higher probiotic doses than animals with diarrhea.
