How to Use Total-Biotics for Dogs and Cats
Wondering how to give your furry friend's digestive system a little extra support? Total-Biotics from NWC Naturals makes it easy. Simply mix one scoop (provided) of this unflavoured powder into your pet’s food each day. For small dogs and cats, start with half a scoop and adjust as needed. The powder blends seamlessly with both wet and dry food, so even picky eaters won’t notice. For best results, use consistently every day. Some pets may experience mild digestive changes when first starting, but these typically resolve within a few days. If your pet has a medical condition or is on medication, consult your veterinarian before use.
Key Benefits of Total-Biotics for Your Pet
Total-Biotics offers a range of benefits that go beyond simple digestive support. Here’s how this probiotic powder can help your pet thrive:
-
Digestive Health: The 14 strains work together to promote regular bowel movements, reduce occasional gas and bloating, and maintain a healthy gut environment. Added prebiotics (inulin and FOS) nourish beneficial bacteria, encouraging their growth.
-
Immune Support: Since a large part of the immune system resides in the gut, a balanced microbiome helps support your pet’s natural defences. Patented MGG Chelate (stabilised glutamine) further supports gut barrier function.
-
Skin and Coat Health: A healthy gut often translates to a shiny coat and healthy skin. Many pet owners notice improvements in coat quality after consistent use.
-
Nutrient Absorption: Probiotics help break down food and produce essential nutrients like B vitamins, which can enhance overall nutrition.
Formulated by the author of The Wonder of Probiotics, this product has been trusted since 2003. The exclusive L.E.A.D.S. system ensures optimal probiotic delivery, colonisation, and prebiotic activation for superior gut health.
What Are Probiotics for Dogs and Cats?
Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that help maintain a healthy balance of microorganisms in the digestive tract. For pets, these supplements can support healthy digestion, immune function, and overall wellbeing. Total-Biotics from NWC Naturals is a premium probiotic powder designed for both dogs and cats, featuring a blend of 14 carefully selected strains. Unlike some human probiotics, this formula is tailored to canine and feline digestive systems, with specific strains and prebiotics. The powder form allows flexible dosing, and the 227 g (8 oz) container provides 365 servings—a year’s supply for many pets. Manufactured in a GMP-certified facility using AAFCO-approved, human-grade ingredients, it meets high quality standards.
How to Choose the Right Probiotic for Your Pet
When selecting a probiotic for your dog or cat, consider these factors:
-
Strain Diversity: Total-Biotics includes 14 strains such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, and Enterococcus faecium. Multiple strains target different areas of the gut and support various functions.
-
CFU Count: While the exact CFU count isn’t listed on the label, the 365 servings from 227 g suggests a well-measured daily dose.
-
Form and Palatability: This unflavoured powder mixes easily with food and is suitable for pets of all ages, from puppies and kittens to seniors.
-
Quality and Manufacturing: Look for products made in GMP-certified facilities with human-grade ingredients. Total-Biotics is made in the USA and meets these standards.
-
Added Prebiotics: Prebiotics like inulin and FOS support probiotic activity. Total-Biotics combines both for a comprehensive approach.
Total-Biotics is shelf-stable, so No refrigeration is needed—simply store in a cool, dry place.
