Probiotics for Pets FAQ

Probiotics are bacteria and yeast microorganisms and enzymes that naturally occur in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of all mammals. Hundreds of species of microorganisms in the GIT form a natural protective barrier against pathogens, and are essential to good health and a strong immune system. Read more

Digestive issues, such as picky eating, insatiable appetite, food intolerance or food sensitivities may indicate a microbial imbalance. Issues seemingly unrelated to digestion, such as stress or allergies, may be related to GIT issues.

Even pet lovers like you can't remove all stress from their lives. Separation anxiety often plays a significant role in depleting the population of beneficial microorganisms.

You may have noticed other pet foods have probiotics cooked in. Our unique approach maintains viability and provides maximum benefit: our probiotics aren't subjected to the heat of cooking, the feeding amount can be adjusted, and they can be kept refrigerated so that the microorganisms are kept alive and dormant.

Most probiotics, whether in pill, capsule, or liquid form, require refrigeration to maintain viability. The various strains of beneficial bacteria in our probiotic supplements require refrigeration for the same reasons as our food: to slow the maturation of bacteria. The beneficial bacteria must remain dormant until reaching the warmth of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) where they'll mature and proliferate, benefitting your pet! If they mature in the bottle, they'll die due to lack of food. Left at room temperature, probiotics will not "go bad" per se —they won't harm your pet— but they'll have lowered potency and decreased benefit.
