Probiotic Pet Supplements
What are probiotics?
Healthy intestines should be filled with “good guy” probiotics. Without good probiotics, a pet's body would be unable to absorb food properly. Unfortunately, every time your pet drinks chlorinated water, eat fatty foods, get stressed or become overly tired, good probiotics are destroyed in their bodies.
Probiotics support digestion of food for animals but they do not do a complete job, you need to add digestive enzymes to the food too.
That is why we also have a chewable tablet with both probiotics and enzymes.
How Many Different Strains Should Be In A Formula?
There are more than 400 probiotics strains naturally occurring in both dogs and people. What determines how many different strains should be in a formula? This depends on how many strains can be added that are stabilized, the more the merrier one to six different strains of probiotics is, just not enough.
Since each strain has its own special job the more different species in a product makes for better colonization. They do not crowd each other out as they all have their own pH they like to live in and implant in that area only.
If you can imagine over 400 different species all coexisting together in nature you can see it's not an issue supplementing with 14 different live stabilized strains.
So, companies claiming that supplementing with anything over 6 different species is not necessary, they are not accurate, they just do not know their science, nor do they understand how nature works.
