Keeping Your Dog’s Gut Happy: Probiotics and Prebiotics Explained

Similar to humans, a dog’s diet is instrumental to their health and well-being. Not to mention, their everyday diet can significantly boost their mood and energy. That’s why focusing on your dog’s gut health is so essential. So, here’s how to properly maintain your dog’s gut health with probiotics and prebiotics.

How to Maintain Your Dog’s Gut Health

As pet owners, it’s no surprise that we want our dogs to be as healthy as possible, helping them to maintain their gut health. That’s where probiotics and prebiotics come in.

Probiotics are live microorganisms that prompt the growth of healthy gut flora. In addition, they may strengthen gut flora that was previously damaged. On the other hand, prebiotics are foods that are high in fiber and stimulate the growth of healthy gut bacteria.

There are common signs that your dogs need probiotics and prebiotics. To name a few, some symptoms to keep in mind include:

  • Recovering from an illness
  • Suffering from diarrhea
  • Constipation

If you notice any of these symptoms, it may be best to introduce probiotics and prebiotics into their diet for some relief. If you don't notice any of these symptoms, taking a preventative approach to your dog's wellness is equally, if not more, important. This proactive stance allows you to address potential issues before they arise.

Gut Health Supplements: Gut+

Get Joy’s Gut+ Supplement offers vital ingredients like pre-, pro, and post-biotics that can alleviate digestive discomfort, boost energy, and strengthen their overall immune system. It also includes other natural ingredients like fish oil and ginger extract.

Luckily, we provide clear serving sizes according to your dog’s weight. With this preventative support, your dog's gut will be on its way to thriving!

Once your dog starts taking supportive supplements, you’ll likely notice significant improvements in your dog’s health. However, be sure to follow certain guidelines when introducing supplements into your dog’s diet. In particular, staying consistent with the dosage and administration is crucial to ensure your dog receives the full benefits and maintains optimal health.
