A Fun-tastic Guide To Understanding Pet Prebiotics And Probiotics

I had been suffering from constipation, constant itching, excessive shedding, dry and flaky skin and ear infection for a long time. My beloved hooman, J, even said that I had bad breath. She was extremely worried about me as her smiles were not as radiant as before.

Recently, J tried feeding me some tablets, but I refused because I didn't know what that was. Whatever it is, it doesn't look yummy. I've noticed that J has been adding some powder to my food lately. Regardless, I still eat my meals with relish because mealtimes are my favourite time of the day! I now feel so much better. Hurray!

What's the secret behind this dog's recovery? Do the mysterious tablets have healing properties? Have you guessed the answer by now?

Let us unriddle the mystery for you… In actuality, this doggie was showing symptoms of poor gut health. To get her furbaby to eat the prebiotic and probiotic supplement, J crushed the tablet into fine powder and then hid it within his food.

Healthy gut, healthy pet.

Prebiotics and probiotics are supplements that do wonders in aiding pets' gut health. Did you know that gut health is not only essential for your pets' digestion, but also critical for their immune system and water regulation? Simply put, gut health is vital for your pet's overall well-being.

How do Prebiotics and Probiotics work?

Question mark beside intestine

In layman's terms, your pet's gastrointestinal tract has both "good" and "bad" bacteria. For your animal companion to stay healthy, it's vital to maintain the balance between the "good guys" and "bad guys". After all, how can there be a happily-ever-after if the villains outpower the heroes? 

Prebiotics and probiotics are useful because they reduce the risk of "bad bacteria" wreaking havoc in your pet's life.

Specifically, both prebiotics and probiotics work in harmony with each other to make pets feel pawsome, boosting their immune system. Prebiotics are types of plant fibre that strengthen the "good soldiers" in your pet's gut by fuelling them with "food"; probiotics are strains of beneficial bacteria that increase the number of "good soldiers" that fight against disease-inducing germs. Together, prebiotics and probiotics help your furbabies win the battle against diseases, keeping them strong and healthy. 

As both types of supplements have their unique contributions to gut health, many cats and dogs take both prebiotics and probiotics simultaneously (doing so is called microbiome therapy).

Are prebiotics and probiotics necessary for my pet?

A healthy pet can maintain the balance of digestive microbes naturally. However, some pets need more help during times of stress, illness or malnutrition. These are the symptoms that your pet cat or dog could benefit from prebiotic and probiotic supplements:

  •  Digestive problems (e.g. constipation & constipation)
  • Gurgling noises coming from your pet's gut
  •  An inconsistent poop schedule
  • Yeast infections in the skin or ears
  •  Constant itching
  • Excessive shedding
  • Dry and flaky skin
  • Signs of anxiety (e.g. pacing to and fro excessively, excessive grooming & excessive meowing/ barking)

But of course, this list is not exhaustive. It's always wise to consult your vet when making significant changes to your pet's diet.
