The dog’s stomach is home to many healthy bacteria. They boost the immune system and fight infections. They also help in digesting food and making nutrients and vitamins. In keeping a dog healthy, it must have enough healthy bacteria.
If there are problems with the balance of healthy bacteria in your pet’s stomach, it could manifest as upset stomach, bloating, cramping, diarrhea, gas, bad breath, allergies, obesity, and overall poor health.
Bifidobacterium breve, Bifidobacterium lacti, Enterococcus faecium, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Lactobacillus acidophilus are the most common healthy bacteria in the body. Probiotics can be given to your dogs through kefir, yogurt, dog food, chews, powdered products, fermented products, and capsules.
Prebiotics are the ones that nourish these healthy bacteria in the gut. They help the probiotics produce nutrients needed for your pets. Prebiotics are forms of carbohydrates that the body cannot digest. Because of this, they stay in the gut to help the healthy bacteria grow. Prebiotics can also help in absorbing calcium, balancing sugar levels, fermenting food faster, and keeping the cell lining of the gut healthy.
Do consult your veterinarians Plano TX before giving any supplements to your pet.
