Evanger's Nutrition Tip: The Pros of Probiotics

Dog owners know that healthy, natural foods are essential for a pet’s well-being. Good food is made from high quality ingredients that serve a purpose. You may have heard about probiotics for humans as a digestive health supplement for humans, but did you know that probiotics also offer a tremendous benefit to pets?

Mainly responsible for breaking down food, a dog’s digestive system absorbs nutrients, and distributes them throughout the body – thus preventing toxins from entering the bloodstream. In fact, research indicates that 70% of a dog's immune system lies in the digestive tract. That said, it is so important to understand which pet food ingredients promote a pet’s proper digestive health.

Probiotics provide the "good bacteria" that helps improve the digestibility of ingredients. These bacteria are an essential part of the immune system, and can help lower the number of disease causing bacteria in the gut. Feeding your pooch food with live probiotics is a great way to help re-inoculate a dog’s digestive tract with health-promoting bacteria.
