5 Benefits of Probiotics for Your Dog
Probiotics make a world of difference for your furry companion. As the saying goes ''You can buy a beautiful dog for a lot of money, but not the wagging tail'', the same applies to food. Caring for your dog more deeply doesn't just mean providing the right food, but also the essential probiotics that support his health from within. Now let's delve deeper into the benefits of probiotics for your dog.
1. Supports digestion
Probiotics are live bacteria that live in your dog's intestines. They play an important role in digestion by breaking down food.
Take starch and fiber for example; these are more difficult for your dog to digest. Thanks to the enzymes in the intestinal wall, they are broken down into smaller molecules that the intestinal bacteria can absorb more easily. It helps reduce digestive problems such as diarrhea and constipation.
Probiotics also ensure healthy intestinal flora . They attach to the intestinal wall and take up space from harmful bacteria. This inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria. Probiotics also produce antimicrobial substances that kill harmful bacteria or inhibit their growth.
2. Strengthens the immune system
Your dog's immune system protects against diseases. Probiotics play an important role in strengthening this system. They stimulate the production of antibodies , which detect and fight pathogens.
In addition, probiotics contribute to the production of T cells , which help recognize and combat unwanted invaders. They also produce immunoglobulins, substances that help eliminate pathogens.
Finally, probiotics support the regulation of the immune system through cytokines. These ensure that the immune system works well together and responds appropriately when there is an infection. This way your dog stays optimally healthy.
3. Improves skin and coat health
The condition of your dog's skin and coat is not just an appearance issue, but also a reflection of his general health. Probiotics play an important role in healthy skin and a shiny coat . It also helps reduce and prevent itching, irritation and inflammation.
Probiotics stimulate the production of antioxidants , which protect the skin against harmful influences and help prevent premature aging. In addition, they help with the absorption of nutrients, which not only promotes the health of the skin and coat, but also ensures a shiny and silky coat.
Furthermore, probiotics stabilize the pH balance of the skin , which helps prevent infections and ensures that the skin functions optimally.
4. Reduces allergies
Allergies are a common problem in dogs. Probiotics play a role in reducing allergies by regulating the immune system's defense response.
Allergies occur when the immune system overreacts to a harmless substance, such as pollen, dust mites or dander from other animals. Probiotics can stimulate the production of immune cells, such as T cells and B cells. They can also stimulate the production of anti-inflammatory drugs, which reduces the inflammatory response of the immune system.
5. Increases lifespan
Probiotics can help your dog live longer, healthier and happier lives. They strengthen the immune system, protect against infections and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. They also contribute to slowing down the aging process. By regularly giving probiotics, you give your furry friend extra support for a vital and long life.
Bonus: fast results
Probiotics provide quickly visible results for your dog. With Dogsuppy probiotics you will see a positive effect within 2-3 weeks, especially visible in the consistency of the stool. Within these first 2-3 weeks, ailments such as itching and discomfort after eating diminish more and more. The positive effects on digestion and defecation quickly become apparent.
After 2-3 months the results become even more impressive. Your dog will then be completely freed from ailments resulting from unbalanced intestinal health. The stool remains consistently nice and firm, while the coat and skin look healthier and shinier. For many customers it goes much faster, but this all depends on the state of your dog's intestinal flora.
Tips for choosing the right probiotics
