Dorwest Probiotic Plus for Dogs
What are the benefits of using a probiotic?
A healthy gut microbiome, which is all the microorganisms (including bacteria) that live in the gastrointestinal tract, is essential for digestive health. Probiotics support the good bacteria in your dog’s digestive tract and reduce the bad, promoting a healthy and balanced microbiome that helps to keep stools normal. Probiotic Plus is great for maintaining optimal gut health in any dog but is especially beneficial for dogs with sensitive tummies and/or loose stools. Probiotic Plus and our best-selling Tree Barks work fantastically together to provide all-round gut support.
There is also ever-expanding research showing the importance of a healthy gut microbiome for general health.⁴-⁶ This includes skin and behavioural effects, making Probiotic Plus the perfect addition to the Dorwest range!
What digestive support should I give my dog with tummy troubles?
We know how tricky it is to care for a dog prone to tummy troubles. Alongside a suitable high-quality diet and preventing them eating any potentially gurgle-inducing snacks, there are supplements you can give daily to support their digestive health.
Tree Barks is one of our best-sellers, containing three herbs renowned for their digestive health properties. They work together to provide effective gut support, for comfortable tummies and normal stools. A healthy gut microbiome is also key for optimal gut health and normal, firm stools. Probiotic Plus promotes a healthy microbiome and contains the probiotic Calsporin®, which is proven to improve stool consistency.²
These products are ideal to be used together in dogs with sensitive tummies and/or loose stools, for all-round gut support.
