Prebiotic & Probiotic Dog Chews with Bacillus Subtilis, B12 & Folic Acid – Natural Duck Flavour (90 Count)

Why Your Dog Needs a Probiotic Supplement

Your dog's digestive and immune health are closely linked. The Vet Equation's Prebiotic & Probiotic for Dogs helps maintain a healthy gut microbiome, which is essential for optimal digestion, nutrient absorption, and robust immune function. Here are the key benefits:

• Digestive Health Support: Probiotics promote a balanced intestinal flora, helping to alleviate occasional gas, bloating, and irregular stools. The prebiotic FOS (fructooligosaccharides) nourishes beneficial bacteria.
• Immune System Boost: Since about 70% of the immune system resides in the gut, a healthy microbiome supports your dog's natural defenses. Vitamin B12 and folic acid contribute to white blood cell production.
• Energy and Vitality: Vitamin B12 aids red blood cell formation and energy metabolism, while folic acid supports cell growth. Together, they help maintain your dog's vitality.
• Great Taste: The natural duck flavour makes these chews a treat that even picky eaters will enjoy, ensuring consistent daily dosing.

Choosing the Right Probiotic for Your Dog

• CFU Count: 1 billion CFU per chew is ideal for daily maintenance. For dogs with specific health issues, higher doses may be recommended, but this amount suits most dogs.
• Probiotic Strain: Bacillus subtilis is a spore-forming bacterium that survives stomach acid and bile to reach the gut alive, ensuring effectiveness.
• Prebiotics: FOS at 7.5 mg per chew helps good bacteria thrive.
• Vet-Developed Formula: Created by veterinarians familiar with canine nutrition and digestive health.
• Palatability: Dogs love the duck flavour, making supplementation easy.

Understanding Probiotics for Dogs

Probiotics are live microorganisms that offer health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts. They help maintain a balanced gut microbiome, crucial for digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune function. Prebiotics like FOS are non-digestible fibres that stimulate beneficial bacteria. This synbiotic combination delivers 1 billion CFU of Bacillus subtilis, plus 7.5 mg FOS, vitamin B12, and folic acid. Together, they support digestive regularity, comfort, and overall gut health. The natural duck flavour ensures your dog looks forward to daily supplementation.

How to Incorporate Probiotics into Your Dog's Routine

Adding probiotics to your dog's daily care is straightforward. Give one chew per day as a treat or crumble it over food. Suitable for all breeds and sizes. Store in a cool, dry place. If your dog is on medication or has a health condition, consult your veterinarian before use.
