Digestive system in dogs – how to improve intestinal microflora in dogs?

Digestive disorders in dogs

Digestive disorders in dogs are a very common ailment. It can result from numerous factors such as eating the wrong food, food allergies, parasites or bacteria. More serious diseases such as pancreatic, liver or kidney failure can also manifest as gastrointestinal disorders in dogs. Diarrhea in dogs is just one of the most popular symptoms.

How to prevent digestive disorders in dogs?

One of the basic factors affecting the functioning of the animal’s digestive system is its diet. It should be easily digestible, of high quality, well-matched to the needs of a specific individual. You should avoid giving your dog human food, table scraps and highly processed products, to which the dog’s delicate digestive system is not adapted.

Everything we give our dog to eat affects its intestinal microbiota; above all, its quality (quantitative and qualitative composition) and possible disorders. A healthy and strong microbiota is crucial for the proper functioning of both the digestive system and the immune system. Proper digestion ensures better processing of the food we eat into the energy we need for life. The microbiome includes both probiotic (beneficial) bacteria and pathogenic (disease-causing) bacteria.

How does indigestion manifest in a dog?

Any owner who carefully observes their dog will be the first to notice any deviations from the norm in their behavior that may indicate a worsening of their well-being. Symptoms of indigestion in dogs are easy to spot and hard to miss:

• diarrhea or constipation in dogs
• changed appearance of stools in dogs
• abdominal pain in dogs
• bloating
• decreased appetite in dogs

The occurrence of these symptoms should be consulted with a veterinarian.

How to regenerate the intestines in dogs?

One of the most important and effective supplements to alleviate digestive disorders is a probiotic for dogs. The action of probiotics is to rebuild the intestinal microflora. Our store offers a synbiotic (a combination of probiotic and prebiotic) Game Dog Flora Protect 60 caps , which contains three strains of bacteria that inhibit the growth of harmful pathogens, produce lactic acid, inhibit diarrhea, counteract intestinal leakage and improve the digestion of proteins and fats. Flora Protect lowers the concentration of urea in the blood in the course of chronic renal failure.

Another solution that caregivers often reach for is kaolin clay for dogs.

Can human probiotics be given to dogs?

It is not recommended to give human probiotics to dogs or other species due to the completely different composition of the microbiota found in the digestive tract. Giving human probiotics to other animal species will be ineffective and may also be harmful.
