Trillions of microorganisms call your dog’s digestive track home. Some are good, some are neutral, and some are definitely just plain ugly. Probiotics are the superheroes of these microorganisms, replenishing the good bacteria that helps balance Fido’s immune system and warding off pathogens that cause illness. Approximately 65 percent of your dog’s immune system defenses are found in his digestive tract – not too far off from the 70 percent in humans. A mucus membrane of cells lines Fido’s digestive tract, and in order to sicken a dog, the bad bacteria must break through that membrane. In a balanced tummy, the gut operates with a ratio of 80 percent good to 20 percent not-so-good bacteria. But there’s an army of factors that lead to the upset of that balance: stress, travel, diet, medications and exposure to illness, to name a few. A daily probiotics supplement can help restore and maintain the bacterial balance in a dog’s digestive track. Made up of multiple species and subspecies of bacteria, as well as a yeast species called saccharomyces, probiotics literally means “for life.” Beyond aiding in the prevention of digestive issues, probiotics also assist Fido’s body in maintaining healthy immune function, reducing inflammation and improving nutrient absorption.
