Probiotics

Dogs and cats have natural microbes or “flora” that naturally live on the lining of their intestines. These bacteria and yeast help digest and absorb nutrients from food and defend against “bad” bacteria from taking up residence. Probiotic supplements may help promote healthy intestinal function, manage digestive irregularities, and support immune health. Because the natural gut bacteria is fragile and can easily be diminished, probiotic supplements are often given during times of stress or to counteract the effects of prescription medications, poor diet, diet changes, disease, or gastrointestinal disturbances. They may also support the digestive process by breaking down nutrients in the diet so they can easily be absorbed.

VetRxDirect has a wide selection of probiotics for dogs and probiotics for cats. Like all dietary supplements, it is best to consult with your veterinarian to determine the best choice for your dog or cat.
