NaturVet Advanced Probiotics & Enzymes PB6 Dog Soft Chews - Hickory Smoked Bacon Flavour, 70 Chews

How to Uses These Probiotic Chews

For best results, give one soft chew daily for dogs under 6.8 kg, and up to two chews for larger dogs, or as directed by your veterinary surgeon. The chews can be offered alone or mixed with food. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Consistent daily uses helps maintain digestive balance. If your dog is on antibiotics, consider starting probiotics a few hours after the antibiotic dose to protect beneficial bacteria. Always consult your vet before introducing any new supplement, especially for dogs with underlying health conditions.

Key Benefits of NaturVet Advanced Probiotics & Enzymes

These soft chews are designed to help dogs with sensitive stomachs, particularly during diet transitions or after illness. The probiotic blend helps maintain a balanced intestinal environment, while the enzymes assist in digesting proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. This combination may help support normal digestion and regular bowel movements. Many pet owners find that their dogs show improved energy and healthier coats when their digestion is supported. The hickory smoked bacon flavour makes these chews highly palatable, ensuring even picky eaters enjoy them.

What Are Probiotics for Dogs?

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that help maintain a healthy balance in your dog's digestive system. Just like in humans, a dog's gut flora plays a crucial role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune function. NaturVet Advanced Probiotics & Enzymes PB6 Soft Chews combine probiotics with digestive enzymes to support overall gastrointestinal health. Each chew contains specific strains such as Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus coagulans, along with enzymes like alpha-Amylase, Lipase, Cellulase, and Protease, which help break down food and promote optimal nutrient uptake.

Choosing the Right Probiotic for Your Dog

When selecting a probiotic for your dog, consider the specific strains and CFU (colony-forming units) count. NaturVet’s formula includes well-researched strains like Bacillus coagulans and Bacillus subtilis, which are known for their resilience and ability to survive the stomach environment. The addition of multiple enzymes sets this product apart, offering comprehensive digestive support. The soft chew form is convenient for dosage and can be given as a treat or crumbled over food. Always choose a product appropriate for your dog’s age and size; these chews are suitable for dogs over 6 weeks old.
