Better skin and coat health: a balanced microbiome can reduce inflammation and promote healthy skin. We’ve talked about fermenting with Sauerkraut. But let’s take it a step further by introducing powerful anti-oxidants from berries. Using strawberries or blueberries (or both), and a fermenting kit, you can easily make a super probiotic and disease fighting topping for your dog’s food.

Foods with probiotics for dogs. A good source of natural probiotics for dogs is yogurt or kefir with live cultures. Sometimes certain brands use cultures to make yogurt or kefir, but they are not probiotics. Yogurt and kefir may also contain artificial sweeteners, which can be dangerous for dogs. Dogs should only eat plain yogurt with no artificial sweeteners.

Are human probiotics good for dogs?

Safety and Transparency. Brand reputation is important, and so is the safe handling and manufacturing of the products. We looked for things like NASC labeling, guaranteed analysis, and clear and easy-to-follow dosing instructions. Fermented vegetables are a great source of probiotics, as well as valuable polyphenols, digestive enzymes, and various other vitamins and nutrients. Be aware that if your dog eats lots of these foods, they may be getting enough probiotics in their diet already and will have no need for supplements. Though getting more probiotics is unlikely to cause any harm, keep an eye on your pooch’s behaviour, feeding and toilet habits during any period of dietary change. While not a powder in the traditional sense, this break-apart capsule offers a powder-like, sprinkle-friendly interior. Simply open the capsule and deposit the small, pellet-like contents in your pup’s food bowl for a virtually taste-free bacteria boost. The formula is brimming with good bacteria, incorporating seven different strains. Moreover, each capsule offers 5 billion CFU per serving. In addition to gut-regulating probiotics, which may help with digestive issues related to stress and diet changes (and thus may abate unpleasantries like loose stool and vomiting), these capsules also contain prebiotics, which essentially function as “food” for the good bacteria to thrive and work their best.

Probiotics are friendly bacteria. Dogs and animals have billions of them in their stomach to help fight infections, make the immune system stronger, help digest food, and make vitamins and nutrients. This is called the microbiome and a healthy dog needs a healthy microbiome. Boosted immunity: probiotics can strengthen the gut microbiome, stimulate intestinal immune cells and modulate immune functions. This formula is safe to use for both dogs and cats, making it a convenient option for multi-pet households. For what it is, the value for money is ideal, too. Lastly, this pill can be used in short-term scenarios as well as every day over the long term, depending on your pet’s specific needs. Each sachet is filled with liver-flavored powder formulated to be sprinkled over your dog’s food, and we've found that most dog enjoy the flavor boost. This probiotic supplement from Purina Pro Plan also provides vitamin E, protein, and antioxidants.Some probiotics may produce side effects, including gassiness or tummy upset. Stop the probiotic and report these side effects to our veterinarian for further direction. Should Puppies Take Probiotics? Early research suggests that probiotics may aid in digestion and relieve a bevy of discomforts, including diarrhea and other stool irregularities.

It’s true - a healthy gut has even been proven to directly affect your dog’s mental and emotional health. Often called the ‘gut-brain axis’, this refers to the concept that what goes on in the gut and gastrointestinal tract is directly linked to the brain, and vice versa - therefore having an influence on mood and behaviour (3) (4). With this in mind, using probiotics to bring harmony in the gut is a great way to reduce anxiety in dogs, promoting a physical sense of calm and wellbeing. Veterinarians and pet parents realize the importance of supporting a dog’s digestive health and overall well-being. Dysbioses can lead to diarrhea, bloating, gas, bad breath, or even more severe effects such as diabetes or obesity. So before supplementing their diet – always consult with a vet.

A super simple recipe which introduces greek yogurt, pumpkin, peanut butter, and a little bit of carob powder (a dog safe chocolate alternative). Plain Greek yogurt is typically strained to remove lactose, making it a better alternative for those lactose-intolerant pups. It also has double the protein for building muscles. The use of prebiotics and probiotics has really taken off in recent years. This is true both in human medicine and in the veterinary sector alike. People are gaining a whole new perspective on the many potential benefits that probiotics can offer. Dr. Carney also cited inflammatory bowel disease as a condition where your dog may benefit from probiotic supplements. “If looking to treat a specific disease, working with a veterinarian to choose a product would be the smart way to go.” The one downside may be the taste. Some dogs scarf pumpkin, but others are indifferent. If your dog is uninterested, try crumbling up a chew and using it as a food topper instead.
