Why use Zamipet Probiotics for Dogs?
Pet parents recognise signs of gastrointestinal upsets in their dogs all too well: diarrhoea, loose stools and flatulence are unpleasant for both you and especially your pet. A healthy digestive system (or gut) is key to your pet’s overall health and wellbeing. In fact, the gut comprises 70 per cent of the body’s immune cells. To understand the function of probiotics in supporting digestive and immune system health, we must first understand the role of a healthy gut microbiome.
Gut microbiome
Microorganisms (including bacteria, viruses, and yeasts) are present in huge numbers in the digestive tract of animals. This collection of microorganisms within the gut environment is known as the gut microbiome. To ensure efficient and effective digestion and absorption of food, the gut microbiome needs to operate in a balanced environment to provide the necessary nutrients to support a healthy immune system.
A microbiome in healthy dogs has three things in common:
- Lots of beneficial bacteria
- Diverse population of bacteria
- The right balance of bacteria
Beneficial bacteria versus bad bacteria
The bacteria present in the microbiome consist of both good and bad bacteria. Beneficial (good) bacteria help aid food digestion and keep levels of bad bacteria in check. Bad bacteria can be detrimental to your pet’s health if they leave the gut and enter the bloodstream, or if they dominate the bacterial population within the gut.
A balanced gut is a healthy gut
Signs of gastrointestinal upsets in dogs – or an imbalanced microbiome – are very common. A combination of Prebiotics, Probiotics and Postbiotics can help restore balance to the gut and prevent levels of bad bacteria overpowering beneficial bacteria.
This Zamipet product is a concentrated 7-strain Probiotic formula combined with Prebiotics and Postbiotics to help improve the microbial intestinal balance in dogs and support immune function and a healthy digestive system.
How Pre, Pro & Postbiotics work together to help your dog thrive
Think of the gut as a garden bed. Nurturing a garden with water and fertiliser benefits the entire garden including the soil, providing an ideal environment for the garden to grow and thrive.
Think of Prebiotics as the fresh water & natural fertiliser you feed your plants each day to help them grow & flourish (wtih symbol of watering can). Think of Probiotics as healthy plants in your garden, creating a diverse environment that attracts more beneficial insects & bacteria that will start improving the soil to benefit the entire garden (with symbol of plants in a garden). Think of Postbiotics as by-products of healthy plants like mulched leaves rich in organic matter. They return nutrients to the soil to nourish the entire garden & inhibit weeds (with symbol of mulched leaves and bag of compost).
