Benefits of Probiotics and Prebiotics

Digestion is one of the most significant reasons that dog owners bring pets to see their veterinarians which is why learning about probiotics and prebiotics will benefit your pet’s health and gastrointestinal maintenance. Here is everything you need to know about the benefits of probiotics and prebiotics.

What Is A Probiotic?

The World Health Organization (WHO) describes probiotics as “live microorganisms, which when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host.” Our pets are exposed to a variety of harmful bacteria (E.coli, Salmonella, Clostridium perfringens), toxins, stress (traveling, kenneling, food changes), and antibiotics/medications. Probiotics can prevent/treat diarrhea, improve intestinal conditions (IBD), and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.

Also, there is growing evidence that probiotics can improve skin and coat health, allergy symptoms, reduce gas, improve breath, and support chronic GI conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease.

What Is A Prebiotic?

Prebiotics are non-digestible, fermentable fibers that “feed” the good bacteria in your dog’s gut and colon and then become short chain fatty acids which affect the development of harmful bacteria. They also balance fluids, boost cell production, healthy gut flora, and preserve electrolytes.
