Why use ZamiPet High Strength Probiotics+ Relax & Calm?
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. And just as stress can make us feel sick to the stomach, stress and anxiety can impact your pet’s gut health, too. But perhaps lesser known is that research now suggests that gut health can likewise influence brain function. Put another way, poor gut health may have a negative effect on your pet’s mental health.
The impact of stress on the gut-brain axis
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.
There is a physiological relationship between the gut and the central nervous system referred to as the gut-brain axis. This means the gut’s microbiome may have a direct effect on the nervous system and that a more balanced microbiome can impact your pet’s mood, anxiety levels and response to stress.
A balanced gut is a happy gut
Research has found that specific probiotic strains can help influence your dog’s response to stress by altering the gut microbiome. A combination of Prebiotics, calming Probiotic strains and Postbiotics can help restore balance to the gut and prevent levels of bad bacteria overpowering beneficial bacteria.
ZamiPet High Strength Probiotics+ Relax & Calm combines four calming probiotic strains, plus prebiotics and postbiotics, to support a healthy nervous system and help balance the microbiome for intestinal health and general wellbeing.
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).
