Geneflora Digestive Enzymes, Prebiotics & Probiotics for Dogs

How to Choose the Right Probiotic for Your Dog

Selecting a suitable supplement for your canine companion involves several considerations. Geneflora's powder stands out thanks to its combination of probiotics, prebiotics, and digestive enzymes in one formula. Here’s what to look for:

• Strain Diversity: Multiple bacterial strains can target different areas of digestive health. Seek products containing Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species.
• CFU Count: Colony-forming units indicate the number of viable bacteria. This product provides a concentrated dose suitable for dogs of all sizes.
• Added Enzymes and Prebiotics: Enzymes assist digestion, while prebiotics feed the beneficial bacteria, creating a synergistic effect.
• Form and Palatability: Powder form allows flexible dosing and easy mixing with food. The formula is designed to be palatable for dogs, cats, and even rabbits.
• Quality and Safety: Made in the USA in GMP-certified facilities, this supplement is gluten-free and non-GMO, ensuring purity and safety for your pets.

Consult your vet before introducing any new supplement to ensure it suits your pet's specific health needs.

What Are Probiotics for Dogs?

Probiotics are live beneficial bacteria that support the natural balance of microorganisms in your dog's digestive tract. When combined with prebiotics—fibres that feed those bacteria—and digestive enzymes that break down food, they form a comprehensive gut health solution. Geneflora's powder formula brings together probiotics, prebiotics, and enzymes to help maintain healthy digestion and immune function in dogs, cats, and rabbits. The gut is home to trillions of microbes that play a vital role in nutrient absorption, immune response, and even behaviour. A healthy gut flora can help your pet resist occasional digestive upset, especially after dietary changes or stress. This product includes a proprietary blend of beneficial strains such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species, along with prebiotic fibres like inulin and digestive enzymes such as amylase, protease, and lipase, to promote a balanced internal environment.

Recommended Usage for Dogs

Using Geneflora's probiotic powder is simple. Each container comes with a scoop. For best results, follow these guidelines:

• Initial Period: During the first two weeks, give your pet a double scoop (twice the recommended maintenance dose) to help establish strong intestinal flora.
• Maintenance: After the initial period, use one scoop per day with food. The powder can be mixed into wet or dry food.
• For Cats and Rabbits: Adjust the amount according to your pet's size. Generally, a scoop per day for cats, and half a scoop for rabbits, but always observe your pet's response.
• Storage: Store the powder in a cool, dry place. No refrigeration required.

Directions are easy to follow, but always ensure fresh water is available for your pet.

Key Benefits of Probiotics for Canine Health

Probiotics offer multiple benefits for dogs, particularly when combined with prebiotics and enzymes. Here are some of the key advantages:

• Digestive Support: Helps maintain regular bowel movements and supports the breakdown of food for optimal nutrient absorption.
• Immune Function: Since a large portion of the immune system resides in the gut, a healthy microbiome can help support natural defences.
• Skin and Coat Health: A balanced gut may contribute to healthier skin and a shiny coat, helping to manage occasional itching and dryness.
• Allergy Relief: Supports the body's natural response to environmental allergens by promoting a balanced immune system.
• After Antibiotics: Helps replenish beneficial bacteria that may be depleted during antibiotic treatment.
• Ear Health: May help maintain clean and comfortable ears by supporting overall immune balance.
