You can't have missed it: probiotics. A real treasure trove of benefits for our health, promoting the balance between good and bad bacteria in our gut flora. Probiotics contribute to better digestion, an enhanced immune system (as 80% of our immune cells are produced in the intestine), improved nutrient absorption, and more. And here's some good news: your furry friends can also benefit from them!
🤔 But what exactly are probiotics? Probiotics are strains of living microorganisms, bacteria such as Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and other species whose presence in the gut flora is beneficial for the body by protecting it against pathogens.
🧫 What's the difference with prebiotics? Unlike probiotics, prebiotics are non-living food substances in the form of fibers that allow beneficial bacteria to proliferate. In essence, prebiotics serve as the nourishment, the substrate that feeds probiotics and optimizes their benefits. Prebiotics and probiotics thus work in synergy.
🐶 When to give probiotics to your furry friend?
It is important to emphasize that you should consult your veterinarian before supplementing your pet with probiotics, and these supplements do not replace any prescribed treatment. Here are situations in which probiotics may be recommended:
Digestive issues: If your four-legged friend shows signs of digestive troubles such as stomachaches or stool problems, consider discussing with your veterinarian the possibility of adding probiotics to their routine.
New diet: A dietary transition can sometimes cause stomach discomfort. Probiotics can provide a real boost.
After antibiotic treatment: If your dog has recently undergone antibiotic treatment, it can disrupt the balance of their digestive system, as antibiotics also "attack" the protective bacteria in the intestinal flora. Probiotics can be of great help in restoring this balance.
During stressful times: Just like humans, stress can impact the digestive health of our furry friends. When life becomes a bit hectic, probiotics can be there to offer additional comfort.
