More About Probiotics for Dogs

The thirteen reasons why giving probiotics for dogs increases dog health. Canine probiotics do far more than cure antibiotic side effects.

Most of us know the importance of giving probiotics after using medications, especially for the side effects of canine antibiotics.

Can it help cure other common dog health problems?

Absolutely!

Probiotics are live and beneficial bacteria. Like us, dogs need the right balance of beneficial bacteria to restore and maintain a healthy gut.

Ready? Here we go:

• Aids food digestion
• Reduce some food intolerance
• Help remove waste products of digestion
• Reduce inflammation
• Absorb nutrients, antioxidants and iron
• Manufacture B group vitamins, biotin and folic acid
• Increase energy levels
• Protect against harmful bacteria such as salmonella and E.Coli
• Regulate and stimulate many aspects of the immune system
• Remove toxins ingested through foods
• Help detoxify harmful chemicals and carcinogens in the body
• Regulate and increase hormone levels
• Restore balance after anitibiotic use since this medicine kills good and bad bacteria alike

The use of antibiotics isn't the only thing that destroys good bacteria.

Poor diet, stress, pollutants, environmental changes, and other prescription drugs can also deplete beneficial bacteria.


Even using chlorinated and fluoridated tap water for dogs is terrible for dog health. Chlorine is damaging in many ways. Osteosarcoma (malignant bone tumors) is on the rise in dogs and linked to the fluoridation of water.

If you haven't seen it, here's my first page on canine probiotics. There I talk about the benefits of canine probiotics when switching to a raw diet.



The following are the two types I recommend most. Not only am assured of their quality, I can share these with my dogs. After all we share healthy foods, why not supplements?

• Probiotic Eleven® (90 caps) - Best for medium to large dogs
• Sunshine Heroes Probiotic Power (90 chewable tabs) - Best for small dogs and puppies

These are wonderful products that have helped many dogs. You can click on the appropriate Nature's Sunshine picture on the right to purchase these wonderful supplements. Medium to large dogs (Probiotics Eleven); or, for small dogs and puppies (Sunshine Heroes).



As always, if you have any questions, let me know through my Contact Me page on this website. As a dog health care coach, I recommend canine probiotics for many of my clients and always have a bottle in the fridge for myself, my dogs and even for friends who drop by with a tummy problem.

And last but not least, if you don’t want to order these products through me, you can purchase Jarro Pet Dophilus in the refrigerated section of your local health food store.

Whichever you decide to use, remember to keep them refrigerated to maintain their potency.
