Do Dog Probiotics Really Work.

By Misty Rowe


Probiotics (also known as Direct Fed Micro organisms or DFM's) are active organisms that essentially with a good attitude and want to assist. That's the best way to put it in laymen (like us) terms. Administered orally, and can be liquid, these dog probiotics can be easily place into the dogs food at dinner time. Probiotics certainly have a positive outcome on the enteral flora, which are the intestines of your dog, which is actually where many alternative bacterium types hang out and live.

Did you know that the gastro enteric tract of any dog contains well over 400 species of micro organisms which are bacteria and barium, fungi and protozoa (those gross things you saw in the microscope back in school)

In which way can Probiotics help your dog? There are a few ways your dog can really gain from Probiotics, about 3 major ways in total.

Probiotics bring in the "Good bacterium" which really provides for easy-absorb able (intake) get-up-and-go. Basically it brings out the nutrients in the food your dog devours and helps abide the food much easier.

Another benefit is when your dogs large gut gets colonized by good bacteria, there simply isn't any room left for the bad types to occupy the area, which make your dog sick. So the technical scientific nomenclature is that the intestinal flora forms a natural protective barrier.

The third and Last reason , is that Probiotics for dogs can super charge the the immune system and increases the antibody levels. This will help your dogs activity stay high and the white blood count as well.

We have included just a few examples for probiotics for you dog, this is not a full list by any means, nor is it in "our pick" order. But this short listing will give you some ideas of what to look for and how to shop around.

Total-Biotics for your pet. Total-Biotics is a brand and it has many different starins of good bacterium as well as prebiotics and glutamine. This is a dry powder and simple to administer.

Natur's way Daily MSE (Multiple Stabilized Enzymes) for your dog. (sic) Sold as dry powder this product contains many strains of barum, fungi and bacteria, vitamins, minerals, detoxifies a bunch of enzymes (protease, lipase, amylase, lactase, cellulose, glucose, maltase and phytase).

Fasttrack Canine Microbial Supplement for your pet. You can sprinkle this product over dry or wet dog food and what it does is helps the digestive system of your dog. All the bacteria aforementioned will be minimized and reduced. Also, no side effects at all were noted with this product, but if your dog is lactose intolerant, this product may be too high for them.

Ultra Probiotic PowderThis product, like the last, adds good yeast and gets rid of the bad bacteria just like probiotics do. Just a teaspoon a day is all it takes and your dog is kept healthy.
