Recent research carried out by Protexin indicates that the addition of probiotics in our puppies’ food helps maintain good digestion, stimulate immunity, improve utilisation of feed, reduce intestinal upsets, improve health and prevent the proliferation of some potential disease-causing pathogens.

Probiotics are dietary supplements that contain beneficial live bacteria or yeast. They help assist naturally acting flora in the digestive tract helping to restore balance and prevent problems. Probiotics are new products, yogurt is a probiotic and this has been around for at least 4500 years!

Pets need help too!
In the pet world, animals are exposed many things during their daily lives that can unbalance the Microflora in their body. These include giving birth, travelling, kennels, trips to the vet, training, change in feed, change in environment and illness. Although many of these stress triggers cannot be prevented, most of them can be predicted so, in many cases a probiotic can be fed before the stressful situation arises.
