Did you know that in one way or another, probiotics address 5 of the top 10 reasons that people take their dogs and cats to the vet? Yes, probiotics are great for acute care of some conditions, but really their greatest role is in prevention and ultimately in achieving wellness.
Probiotics are one of the fastest growing supplements being used for pets because pets unfortunately face a number of digestive issues related to poor diet, bacterial infections, viruses, or parasites.
The great thing about probiotics is not only do they work to address acute problems, but they also build the innate immunity of the animal so that they tend to not develop these problems in the first place (or to have them keep reoccurring). So they work on two fronts to get or keep your pet health and for them to have a lifetime of wellness.
If your pet is not quite as healthy as you would like or if they are healthy and you want to make sure they stay that way, give Probiotic Miracle a try. It will provide your pet with a wall of protection against many of the common aliments they face and will help them build a foundation for optimal health and wellness throughout their lives.
What Makes Probiotic Miracle So Good?
SUPERIOR EFFICIENCY
-
Formulation is based on six probiotic species tested in dogs and cats that performed best.
-
Species dominantly found in the intestinal tracts of canines (and some in felines).
-
They all have great “probiotic” properties, but each were chosen for their specific strengths to create a wall of protection against the common conditions
-
Probiotics are sourced from Danisco, one of the best suppliers in the world.
SUPERIOR DELIVERY FORM
-
Powdered form is better for animal compliance as it mixes easily and is undetectable in their food.
-
Less fillers with powder vs tablets.
-
Convenient and easy to use for the pet owner.
SUPERIOR VALUE
-
Price per serving is extremely competitive.
-
Product truly delivers on the probiotic promise for health in pets (no “placebo” effect in animals).
-
Safe and can be used for both dogs and cats of any size and any age.
SPECIES BREAKDOWN
B.Animalis
- Found in the canine intestinal tract.
- Safe and well tolerated.
- Effective at managing acute diarrhea.
- Especially effective against C.difficile, the primary pathogen causing diarrhea.
L.Acidophilus
- One of the most dominant species found in the canine intestinal tract.
- Safe and well tolerated.
- Shown to stabilize the digestion process in dogs that have food sensitivities.
- Strong overall enhancement of immune function.
- Shown to produce antimicrobial compounds that can fight potential pathogens.
- Potentially breaks up stones in the urinary tract (in both cats and dogs).
- Potentially effective against hookworms.
L.Rhamnosus
- Found in the canine intestinal tract.
- Safe and well tolerated.
- Shown to have anti-inflammatory effects.
- Protects the stomach barrier against damage by pathogens.
L.Salivarius
- Found in the canine intestinal tract
- One of the most dominant species found in the canine intestinal tract
- Safe and well tolerated
- Strong overall probiotic
- Known to have strong anti-inflammatory properties, especially with skin disorders (allergies)
L.Fermentum
- One of the most dominant species found in the canine intestinal tract.
- Safe and well tolerated.
- Effective agent against constipation.
L.Reuteri
- One of the most dominant species found in the canine intestinal tract
- Safe and well tolerated
Probably the heartiest of all species (survives stomach acid the best) - The strongest producer of antimicrobial compounds
- Seems to have a greater synergistic effect with FOS then other probiotics (read: increases healthy bacteria counts at a greater rate).
SUMMARY OF BENEFITS
- Builds overall health and protection by strongly reinforcing the immune system
(all, but especially L.acidophilus, FOS). - Especially effective at stopping diarrhea (B.animalis).
- Especially effective at stopping constipation (L.fermentum).
- Has anti-inflammatory protection (L. rhamnosus).
- Strong anti-microbial (all, but especially L.reuteri).
