How do I get my dog to live a long time? How can I extend the life of my cat? Anyone who's ever loved their pet wants a lifetime of wellness and longevity for them. No one enjoys a sick pet or veterinarian visits. But, did you know that probiotics address 5 of the top 10 reasons that people take their dogs and cats to the vet?
For Prevention and Wellness
It's true, probiotics' greatest role is in prevention, but they are surprisingly great for acute care as well. For this reason, probiotics are one of the fastest growing nutritional supplements for dogs and cats. Pets face a number of digestive issues, bacterial infections, viruses, and even parasites. Probiotics build the innate immunity of the animal to prevent these issues, and even support recovery when these situations arise.
Further, probiotics work on two fronts of pet healthcare to improve wellness and longevity. First, they provide valuable nutrition to build up the immunity in the gut. By improving the gut ecology, nutrient absorption is similarly improved. Second, probiotics purge toxins out of the body in a natural, holistic manner.
