Bark & Whiskers, Complete Probiotics for Dogs and Cats, 90g

What are probiotics for dogs and cats?

Probiotics are beneficial live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, contribute to the balance of the intestinal microbiota. In the case of dogs and cats, a healthy gut flora is key for efficient digestion and a strong immune system. Bark & Whiskers Complete Probiotics combines more than 10 strains of beneficial bacteria selected for their effectiveness in pets, providing 58 billion colony-forming units (CFU) per serving (until the expiration date indicated on the package). This powdered food supplement is designed to promote the digestive well-being and natural defenses of your furry companion.

Benefits of probiotics in canine and feline health

A balanced microbiota helps maintain a healthy intestinal tract and proper nutrient absorption. Probiotics can be especially useful during periods of stress, diet changes, or after antibiotic treatments. By supporting the intestinal barrier, they help your pet's body eliminate toxins naturally. This, in turn, promotes the functioning of the immune system, helping your dog or cat stay active and vital. Furthermore, by including a wide variety of strains, different areas of the intestine are covered, maximizing the potential benefits. Remember that each pet is unique and results may vary.

How to choose the right probiotic for your pet?

When selecting a probiotic, it is important to consider three aspects: the variety of strains, the amount of CFU, and the quality of the ingredients. Bark & Whiskers incorporates more than 10 different strains, including Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, which are the most studied in companion animals. With 58 billion CFU per serving, it offers a high dose that ensures enough bacteria reach the intestine alive. In addition, this product is non-GMO, soy-free and gluten-free, making it suitable for pets with food sensitivities. It is always advisable to consult a veterinarian before starting any supplementation, especially if your pet has any pre-existing health condition.

How to use and recommended dosage

This probiotic comes in a fine powder, easy to mix with your dog's or cat's wet or dry food. The recommended daily dose is indicated on the package and usually adjusted according to the animal's weight. Generally, it is advisable to administer one serving per day, preferably during a meal for better assimilation. It is important to keep the product in a cool, dry place and close the container tightly after each use to preserve the viability of the bacteria. If your pet is taking any medication, especially antibiotics, space the administration at least two hours apart to avoid interference.
