Probiotics play a crucial role in maintaining the health and wellbeing of dogs. Seventy percent of a dog's immune system is in the gut. Protect and strengthen the gut and you have a healthier dog. As with humans, dogs have a delicate balance of bacteria in their digestion systems that can be disrupted by factors such as stress, diet changes, medications and illness. Adding probiotics to a dogs diet can help restore and maintain a healthy gut microbiota, promoting optimal digestion and nutrient absorption.  Probiotics can aid in alleviating common digestive issues such as diarrhea, constipation, and irritable bowel syndrome. They can calso strenthen the immune system, making dogs more resistant to infections and diseases. Additionally, probiotics may help manage allergies by modulating the immune response and reducing inflammation. 

Animals have different microbial make ups. They can differ based on body temperatures, dietary habits, and immune systems. Species-specific probiotics are better able to survive and proliferate within the gut. This leads to better results.

Prebiotics offer several benefits for dogs by supporting gut microbiome. While Probiotics are good bacteria that promote balance in the intestines, Prebiotics act as food for beneficial bacteria, promoting their growth and reducing harmful bacteria. Prebiotics are a type of soluble fiber which means they dissolve in and can help absorb water during digestion. As a result, they help regulate the digestive process. Prebiotics help in preventing and managing diarrhea when it is caused by bacterial imbalances. Prebiotics and probiotics work together to promote gut health. Postbiotics are beneficial compounds produced when probiotics break down prebiotics in the gut. They contain substances like enzymes, vitamins, short-chain fatty acids, and other metabolites. Postbiotics support digestive health, boost the immune system, reduce inflammation, and promote healthy skin.

Gut microbiota which formerly was called the gut microflora, is the population of bacteria, viruses, fungi (ex. yeast) and other single-celled microorganisms that live in the GI tract. The gut microbiome on the other hand, refers to all the genes belonging to those gut microbes. The two terms are sometimes used interchangeably.

A dogs GI tract is home to trillions of microorganisms, the vast majority of which are bacteria. A dogs gut microbiota is unique. The GI microbiota is one of the densest microbial populations found anywhere and very different communities of bacteria can be found in the stomach, small intestine and colon. The number of bacteria and diversity of species increase gradually along the digestive system, starting with the stomach. The diversity and numbers of bacteria are greatest in the large intestine.

GI microorganisms play an important role in several vital functions.

• Aids Digestion
• Stimulates the Immune System
• Helps defend against disease-causing organisms
• Produces some vitamins such as biotin, folic acid and Vitamin K
• Helps the lining of the intestine to develop properly

Change in the composition/diversity of the GI microbiota is know as dysbiosis. In some dogs, changes in bacterial population numbers accompanied by a decrease in microbiota function may cause diarrhea and other GI related signs.
