As the mother of Viki, a furry baby, I worry a lot about his healthy growth. In particular, Viki’s digestion has not been good since she was weaned, and she also ate a lot of probiotics. At the beginning, she didn’t know much about the correct way to eat probiotics for dogs, which affected the effect. But after I learned the correct way to eat probiotics for dogs, raising furry babies became much easier and more enjoyable.
Probiotics exist in various foods in nature, but now domestic dogs eat processed dog food and canned food, and the amount of probiotics they can ingest will also decrease. Moreover, the dog's intestines and stomach are shorter than those of humans, so food cannot be fully digested and absorbed. When dogs have indigestion, loss of appetite and do not like to eat, or have gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea and constipation, they should pay attention to supplementing probiotics for dogs.
So what are the correct ways to eat probiotics for dogs?
① As active bacteria, probiotics can be taken in water or mixed in dog food, but the water temperature should not be higher than 37 degrees, otherwise the bacteria will lose their vitality if the water temperature is too high.
②Be sure to read clearly when buying probiotics. Most probiotics cannot be taken with antibiotics. Because antibiotics inhibit active bacteria, causing probiotics to lose their effect, they can also cause abdominal pain.
Of course, there are exceptions. For example, the Medella probiotics I gave Viki, the strains are pa5051 and Brady, which have U.S. patents. They are not only acid-resistant and high-temperature resistant, but can also be taken with antibiotics. I have been using azithromycin to treat Viki's cough. Azithromycin can cause certain irritation to the gastrointestinal tract and cause loss of appetite. At this time, you can add some Medella probiotics to protect the gastrointestinal tract and improve gastrointestinal digestion.
③Be sure to check the time of probiotics at home. If they expire, the probiotics will lose their effectiveness.
Viki had always had unformed stools before. After taking Madder's probiotics, she had perfect poop in 3 days. And the best thing about Madder's is that even after taking it for a few days, the gastrointestinal tract and stool are still normal, which shows that this probiotic has a good balanced protective effect on the intestinal flora.
The above is the correct way to eat probiotics for dogs that I summarized when feeding dogs. Every life is worthy of love. I hope our furry children can grow up healthily and the dog owners can live in peace and quiet.
