Probiotics can be a wonderful addition to your dog’s daily routine. Since a dog’s gut and immune health is important for fighting off contagious disease and keeping their digestive system regulated, daily probiotics act as a powerful defense against possible illness. 

Probiotics are especially helpful for dogs that take daily medications or struggle with chronic illness, as the natural bacteria present in their body can easily be thrown off in these situations. Overall, probiotics are an easy way to give your pup the natural defense they need to stay healthy. 

Probiotics have been used to aid in support of several health conditions that dogs can struggle with. Some of the most common conditions that are known to be well managed with the use of probiotics include:

• UTI’s & Urinary Health: Since dogs with chronic urinary tract infections and other urinary conditions are at risk of bacterial imbalance, probiotics can help to regulate the bacteria that are present in the urinary tract. Daily probiotics can help to give them an extra defense against UTI’s. 
  
  

• Immune Support: Since the gut is responsible for the majority of our immune support, daily probiotics can help to aid these immune cells and provide helpful bacteria to add to the fight. This can also increase your dog’s energy levels. 
  
  

• Irritable Bowel Disease: Irritable bowel disease can cause a large amount of inflammation in the GI tract. Due to this, it’s easy for a bacterial imbalance in the digestive tract to form. Probiotics can help to restore the healthy bacteria in the gut, as well as reduce inflammation due to the disease. 
  
  

• Diarrhea: Diarrhea is often due to some kind of disturbance in the GI tract. Whether it’s due to bacteria, eating something they shouldn’t have, or any other gastrointestinal upset, the bacteria in their gut can be disturbed. Daily probiotics can help strengthen the defense in their gut and help restore the bacterial imbalance that can be present due to diarrhea. 
  
  

• Skin conditions: Many dogs can experience skin irritation due to an overgrowth of yeast on the skin. Daily probiotics can help to restore balance on the skin and reduce skin discomfort.
