Dogzymes Probiotic Max - 10 Billion CFU, Probiotics, Prebiotics & Digestive Enzymes - (227 g)

What are probiotics for dogs?

Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, can contribute to the balance of your dog's intestinal flora. The intestinal microbiota plays a key role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and the body's natural defenses. Dogzymes Probiotic Max provides 10 billion colony-forming units (CFUs) per dose, combined with prebiotics that nourish beneficial bacteria and digestive enzymes that facilitate the breakdown of food. This powdered formula is designed for dogs of all breeds and sizes, offering complete support for digestive well-being.

Benefits of probiotics for canine health

Probiotics can help maintain and nourish proper intestinal flora, which promotes normal digestion and better absorption of essential nutrients. By supporting the balance of the microbiota, they contribute to the beneficial function of the intestinal tract and the overall well-being of your pet. Many owners observe that their dogs show improved stool consistency and fewer occasional digestive discomforts. Furthermore, by including prebiotics and digestive enzymes, Dogzymes Probiotic Max enhances these effects, helping to break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates for optimal assimilation. It is important to remember that these benefits are obtained as part of a balanced diet and under veterinary supervision.

Why does this probiotic include prebiotics and digestive enzymes?

The combination of probiotics, prebiotics, and digestive enzymes in a single product offers a comprehensive approach to canine digestive health. Prebiotics, such as fructooligosaccharides (FOS), serve as food for probiotics, enhancing their growth and activity in the intestine. Digestive enzymes (amylase, protease, lipase, etc.) help break down food before it is absorbed, reducing the load on the digestive system. This synergy can be especially useful in dogs with sensitive digestion, during periods of stress, or after antibiotic treatments, although a veterinarian should always be consulted.

How to use and recommended dosage

Dogzymes Probiotic Max comes in a fine powder, making it easy to administer. It can be mixed with the dog's regular food (dry or wet) or dissolved in water. The recommended dosage is 1 teaspoon (approximately 2 grams) per 9 kg (20 pounds) of body weight daily. For example, an 18 kg (40 pound) dog would need 2 teaspoons daily. The 227 g (8 ounce) container holds approximately 60 teaspoons, providing about 60 days of supply for an 18 kg dog. It is recommended to start with a lower dose and gradually increase it to allow for digestive adaptation.
