Raw Paws Probióticos Naturales para Perros con Prebióticos, 100 Masticables Blandos (284 g)

What Are Probiotics for Dogs?

Discover Paws Natural Probiotic — Probiotics are beneficial living microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, contribute to the balance of your dog's intestinal microbiota. Just like in humans, the canine gut hosts trillions of bacteria that play an essential role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and defense against pathogens. Factors such as stress, dietary changes, age, or antibiotic use can alter this balance, leading to digestive discomforts like soft stools, gas, or bad breath. Probiotics help restore and maintain a healthy gut flora, promoting regular transit and better assimilation of food.

Raw Paws' supplement provides 2 billion CFUs (colony-forming units) per chew, combining selected strains with natural prebiotics that enhance their action. It is formulated for dogs of all ages and sizes, offering a convenient and palatable way to incorporate these benefits into their daily routine.

Benefits of Probiotics for Canine Health

A balanced microbiota translates into multiple advantages for your dog's well-being. Probiotics can:

• Support normal digestion: They help break down food and facilitate the absorption of essential nutrients.
• Contribute to intestinal regularity: They promote formed stools and reduce episodes of occasional diarrhea or constipation.
• Strengthen natural defenses: A healthy gut is key to a strong immune system, as a large part of defensive cells are concentrated in the digestive tract.
• Improve breath and reduce gas: By balancing the flora, abnormal fermentations that cause bad odor and flatulence are minimized.
• Care for skin and coat: Some probiotics, along with omega 3, contribute to maintaining healthy skin and a shiny coat.

These benefits are supported by scientific studies and by the experience of many owners who observe a notable improvement in the vitality and comfort of their pets.

What Makes This Raw Paws Supplement Special?

This product combines probiotics and prebiotics in a convenient soft chew with pumpkin flavor, a naturally fiber-rich ingredient that is very palatable for dogs. Each piece contains 2 billion CFUs and is enriched with inulin – a prebiotic that feeds beneficial bacteria – and omega 3 fatty acids, which contribute to skin and coat health. The chews are soft, easy to break, and do not require refrigeration, staying fresh for 18 months thanks to their resealable packaging. Additionally, they are made in the USA with natural ingredients, offering peace of mind to the owner.

With only 14 calories per piece, these chews can be given as a daily treat without worrying about the animal's weight. Its presentation in a bag of 100 units facilitates dosage and is ideal for single-dog households as well as multiple pets.

Key Ingredients and Their Function

The effectiveness of a probiotic largely depends on the strains used and complementary ingredients. This product includes:

• Patented probiotic blend: Strains such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium animalis, selected for their ability to resist the acidic environment of the stomach and colonize the intestine.
• Inulin (prebiotic): Soluble fiber that selectively stimulates the growth of beneficial bacteria, enhancing the effect of probiotics.
• Pumpkin: Natural source of soluble and insoluble fiber, which helps regulate intestinal transit and provides a flavor that dogs love.
• Omega 3 (fatty acids): Contribute to maintaining the skin barrier and reduce inflammation, benefiting skin and coat.

This synergistic combination makes the supplement act on several fronts: digestive, immune, and dermal, offering a comprehensive approach to canine well-being.

How to Use and Recommended Dosage

The daily dose varies depending on the dog's weight. It is recommended to administer:

• Small dogs (up to 10 kg): ½ chew per day.
• Medium dogs (10-25 kg): 1 chew per day.
• Large dogs (over 25 kg): 2 chews per day.

It can be offered directly as a treat or crumbled over food. As it is a food supplement, it is not necessary to adjust the feed ration. Results are usually observed after 2-4 weeks of regular use, although each dog is unique. Store in a cool, dry place; once opened, close the bag tightly to maintain freshness.
