Pet-Ag Zoologic Bene-Bac Plus Gel Probiótico para Mamíferos - 30 g

What are probiotics for mammals?

Probiotics are living microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, can contribute to the balance of intestinal flora. Pet-Ag's Zoologic Bene-Bac Plus Mammal Gel is a food supplement specifically formulated for dogs, cats, exotic animals, and wild mammals. It contains FOS (fructooligosaccharides) and a blend of microorganism strains naturally found in the intestinal tract of small mammals. This syringe gel facilitates dosing and administration, even in animals that refuse pills or powders. FOS act as prebiotics, feeding beneficial bacteria and promoting their establishment in the intestine.

Benefits of probiotics in canine and feline health

Probiotics can help maintain a balanced intestinal microbiota, which promotes normal digestion. In stressful situations such as weaning, vaccination, travel, or antibiotic treatments, the intestinal flora can be altered. Bene-Bac Plus is designed to provide a boost of beneficial microorganisms that contribute to digestive well-being. Additionally, FOS enhance the effectiveness of probiotics by serving as food for good bacteria.

It is important to note that probiotics are not medications, but rather supplements that support the animal's natural defenses. They should not be used as a substitute for adequate veterinary care, especially in cases of severe digestive disease. Their use is recommended as part of a comprehensive approach to pet health.

When should I administer probiotics to my pet?

Bene-Bac Plus gel is recommended in various situations that can alter digestive balance:

• Dietary changes: When introducing new food or during weaning.
• Antibiotic therapy: Antibiotics can eliminate both bad and good bacteria; probiotics help restore the flora.
• Stress: Travel, exhibitions, moving, or the arrival of a new family member.
• Post-surgery or illness: To support digestive recovery.
• Breeding and lactation: For mothers and offspring during the lactation period.
• Hand-raised orphans: Helps establish a healthy intestinal flora from the beginning.

How to choose the right probiotic for your pet?

When selecting a probiotic for your dog or cat, consider the following aspects:

• Specific strains: Look for products containing documented strains such as Lactobacillus acidophilus or Bifidobacterium animalis. Bene-Bac Plus includes a blend of microorganisms adapted to the intestinal tract of mammals.
• Colony-forming units (CFU): The concentration of probiotics is measured in CFU. This product offers a concentrated dose in an easy-to-administer gel.
• Administration method: The syringe gel allows for precise dosing and is ideal for pets that are difficult to medicate. It can also be mixed with food.
• Added prebiotics: The presence of FOS enhances the effectiveness of probiotics by serving as food for beneficial bacteria.

How to use and recommended dosage

The dosage of Bene-Bac Plus varies depending on the animal's weight and condition. As a general guideline:

• For small dogs and cats: 1 gram (approximately 1 cm of gel) per day.
• For medium and large dogs: 2 grams (2 cm) per day.
• For exotic and wild animals, consult a specialized veterinarian.

Administer directly into the mouth or mixed with a small amount of food. In cases of stress or after antibiotics, the dose can be repeated for several days. The gel is palatable and most pets accept it without problems. Once opened, store in the refrigerator to maintain the viability of the microorganisms and use before the expiration date indicated on the package.
