The right probiotics can have numerous health benefits for dogs. However, human probiotics that are often relabeled for dogs likely don’t survive the digestive tract. PetCultures has the most comprehensive and effective formulas of canine-specific probiotics around, and they’re design to survive the digestive tract and deliver results!
Lots of dog parents use probiotics to support digestive health, but did you know the probiotic supplements you’re giving your dog might not be doing anything? Most probiotic supplements marketed for dogs are actually human probiotics, and you could be throwing your money away. Let’s look at why dogs need canine-specific probiotics, how they can benefit, and the best supplements on the market.
What Exactly Are Probiotics?
The gut microbiome is the community of microorganisms that reside in the gastrointestinal tract. It’s composed of bacteria, viruses, and fungi that play a role in digestion, metabolism, immunity, synthesizing vitamins and amino acids, and more.
Probiotics are living microorganisms similar to the naturally occurring ones that make up the gut microbiota. They can contribute to a healthy gut microbiome by helping balance the community of microbes in the gut, inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria, promoting digestive health, and potentially enhancing immune function.
Dogs Need Canine-Specific Probiotics
Dogs have different digestive systems and gut flora compositions compared to humans. What’s more, a dog’s stomach is more acidic than a human stomach, meaning microorganisms that can survive a human stomach may not survive in a dog. As such, human probiotics aren’t going to harm a dog, but they won’t do any good either. That’s why dogs need canine-specific probiotics that contain strains of bacteria that are most beneficial to a dog’s unique microbiome.
Probiotics Have Many Benefits for Dogs
Probiotics can be great for dogs who are experiencing digestive disruptions from stress, illness, diet, antibiotics, or other issues. Symptoms can include bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, and more. Canine-specific probiotics can help:
- Digestive health
- Improve nutrient absorption
- Support the immune system
- Improve stool quality and regularity
- Reduce the effects of antibiotics
- Enhance overall health and well-being
- Manage allergy symptoms
