Dogs and Probiotics

Do you take probiotics while taking antibiotics or after taking antibiotics? If so, did you know you’re doing this to help replace the good bacteria that the antibiotics may have killed off while also killing off the bad bacteria? If your dog has been on antibiotics for a while then you may want to ask your vet if you should give your dog a probiotic supplement. Probiotics can help with digestion. They basically provide good bacteria for y our dog’s digestive tract and may also be able to assist with digestion of food. Some veterinarians have found that probiotics can give an additional boost to the immune system in some dogs. The probiotics may also be prescribed to treat diarrhea, irritable bowel, and intestinal inflammation. You can find probiotics online or in pet stores. Some probiotics come in powdered form and can be sprinkled on your dog’s food. Talk to your vet Portland, OR to learn more.
