We are what we eat! This phrase rings true for our canine population as much as for dog owners! Central to a dog's well-being is the intricate world of their gut health. Like humans, a flourishing gut in dogs is a main pillar of overall health and happiness. This diverse ecosystem plays a critical role in digestion, nutrient absorption and immune function. Let's delve into the roles of key ingredients that can nurture a thriving gut environment in our canine companions and that are included in our Gut Formula.
- Psyllium Husk: This natural fiber source acts as a gentle yet effective regulator of bowel movements in dogs. By promoting regularity and normalising colonic motility, psyllium husk helps maintain a balanced gut environment, promoting microflora growth and supporting optimal digestion. It can be particularly beneficial for dogs prone to diarrhoea or constipation.
- Inulin Prebiotic: Inulin is a type of prebiotic fiber that serves as food for beneficial bacteria in the gut. By nourishing these friendly microbes, inulin helps promote a diverse and robust gut microbiome. A healthy balance of gut bacteria is crucial for proper digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune function in dogs. In fact, inulin has been proven to directly improve the efficiency of the immune system of dogs, particularly those experiencing stress.
- Targeted Probiotics: The following probiotics are included in our formula at the most potent dosage available on the market and are backed by scientific evidence.
- Acidophilus Probiotic: Lactobacillus acidophilus is a probiotic strain known for its ability to boost digestive health, support healthy stool development and decrease diarrhoea symptoms. It helps maintain a favorable gut environment by crowding out harmful bacteria and supporting the production of beneficial substances like short-chain fatty acids. Including L. acidophilus in your dog's diet can contribute to a more balanced and resilient digestive system.
- Longum and B. Animalis ssp. lactis: These probiotic strains, specifically Bifidobacterium longum and Bifidobacterium animalis subspecies lactis, are well-studied for their wide reaching, positive impact on gut health, immune system and allergies in dogs. They help strengthen the intestinal barrier improving the immune response and decreasing skin allergies and dietary intolerances. Incorporating these probiotics into your dog's regimen can foster a healthier gut ecosystem, decrease inflammation, improve the immune system, and enhance your dog's overall health!
By incorporating these gut-supporting ingredients into your dog's diet, via our Gut Formula, you can take proactive steps toward ensuring their digestive wellness.
Remember, a happy gut leads to a happier and healthier dog!
