Probiotics
Probiotics for Dogs and Cats
A simple, beginner-friendly guide to how probiotics work and how they can support your pet's daily wellness.
What probiotics do
Your pet's digestive system is home to billions of bacteria. Probiotics help maintain the right balance of good bacteria, which supports digestion, immunity, and overall comfort.
Better digestion
Probiotics help balance gut bacteria, reducing upset stomach and soft stools.
Stronger immunity
A healthy gut supports a healthy immune system — around 70% of immunity lives in the gut.
Skin & coat
Good gut health is linked to calmer skin and a softer, shinier coat.
Everyday comfort
Less gas, bloating, and discomfort means a happier pet.
How to choose a probiotic
- • Look for species-specific strains for dogs or cats.
- • Check the CFU count (how many live cultures).
- • Prefer products with third-party testing.
- • Start slow and watch how your pet responds.
- • Ask your vet if your pet has any medical conditions.
