Probiotics are an important factor to help dogs with gastrointestinal digestion. Since dogs usually eat various foods such as dog food, snacks, and even some foods that we eat ourselves, these foods often contain certain additives that disrupt the balance of gut flora, causing constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, and other issues. Therefore, we can supplement probiotics to protect their intestines.

Can dogs use human probiotics?

It is not recommended. Although human yogurt contains some probiotics, the sucrose and other chemical food additives in yogurt can easily disrupt the pet's gastrointestinal flora. Moreover, probiotics for humans are formulated based on human intestinal needs and are not suitable for pets. There is also the issue of dosage control. It is recommended to use reliable, brand-specific probiotics designed for dogs.

What are the functions of probiotics for dogs:

1. Supplement: Quickly replenish a more effective probiotic vitality combination

Contains lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria derived from the intestines, as well as bacillus coagulans which creates an environment for proliferation within the gut. This is a highly active, highly colonizing probiotic vitality combination that can quickly replenish the intestines and restore the number of intestinal probiotics to a healthy level.

2. Inhibit: Effectively inhibit harmful bacteria that damage intestinal function and cause various diseases.

The unique intestinal probiotic vitality combination deprives harmful bacteria of the oxygen they need to survive, produces lactic acid which inhibits harmful bacteria growth, and occupies the adhesion sites in the intestine, effectively suppressing harmful bacteria from many directions and restoring a healthy intestinal microecological environment.

3. Rebuild: Repair and rebuild the intestinal biological barrier, enhance immunity, and promote nutrient absorption.

Can colonize the surface of the intestinal mucosa, repairing and rebuilding the damaged intestinal biological barrier, preventing the invasion of pathogens and toxins, inducing the intestinal mucosa to produce various antibodies, enhancing immunity, truly achieving long-term intestinal health. Additionally, it has excellent synergistic capabilities and can be taken with multiple medications, nutritional supplements, and foods long-term to promote nutrient absorption, reduce the toxic side effects of various drugs, and invigorate the intestines.

Dog Probiotics

How to select suitable probiotics for dogs

The most important factor when selecting probiotic products is the activity of the probiotics. Probiotics are living microorganisms that must be consumed in sufficient quantities to provide health benefits. Dead bacteria have slower effects, require larger doses, and their effects differ significantly from active probiotics. It is recommended that consumers prioritize well-known brands of pet probiotics.

Applicable scope of dog probiotics:

1. Regulate intestinal flora, protect the stomach and intestines, inhibit harmful bacteria growth, and have good effects on diarrhea, constipation, and acute or chronic enteritis in dogs and cats.

2. Improve picky eating habits, promote the production of various digestive enzymes, vitamins, and nutrients within the body, and enhance immunity.

3. Used during recovery after surgery and antibiotic treatment for dogs and cats, it can quickly improve the intestinal microecological environment and raise health levels.

4. Promote digestion and absorption, eliminate pet bad breath caused by gastrointestinal disorders, reduce fecal odor, form shaped stools, and improve the feeding environment.

5. Reduce stress responses such as diarrhea caused by weaning, diet changes, immunization, deworming, and environmental changes in dogs and cats.

While probiotics have a certain protective effect on dogs’ intestines and can solve some digestive problems, they are not medicine and require long-term use to achieve maintenance effects. Therefore, owners should not overly rely on them or blindly supplement, which may cause adverse reactions.
