Prebiotic & Probiotic Dog Chews with Bacillus Subtilis, B12 & Folic Acid – Natural Duck Flavour (90 Count)

Understanding Probiotics for Dogs

Probiotics are live microorganisms that can provide health benefits when taken in sufficient amounts. For dogs, they help maintain a balanced gut microbiome, which is essential for digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune function. Prebiotics, such as fructooligosaccharides (FOS), are non-digestible fibres that selectively stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria. The combination of probiotics and prebiotics is known as a synbiotic. The Vet Equation’s Prebiotic & Probiotic for Dogs delivers 1 billion CFU of Bacillus subtilis, a robust spore-forming probiotic that survives stomach acid and bile salts to reach the intestines alive. Additionally, each chew contains 7.5 mg of FOS to nourish the good bacteria already present, plus vitamin B12 and folic acid to support energy metabolism and immune function. These ingredients work in harmony to maintain digestive regularity, comfort, and overall gut health. The natural duck flavour ensures even fussy dogs look forward to their daily supplement.

Why Benefits of?

• Immune Support: Around 70% of the immune system resides in the gut. A healthy microbiome may support your dog’s natural defences. Vitamin B12 and folic acid contribute to the production of white blood cells and antibodies.
• Digestive Health Support: Probiotics help preserve a healthy balance of gut flora, which may assist normal digestion, reduce occasional wind and bloating, and promote firm faeces. The prebiotic FOS further supports this by feeding beneficial bacteria.
• Energy and Vitality: Vitamin B12 plays a key role in red blood cell formation and energy production. Folic acid is essential for cell division and growth. Together, they help maintain your dog’s energy levels and overall wellbeing.
• Palatability: The natural duck flavour makes these chews highly appealing, encouraging consistent daily undertake.

Adding probiotics to your dog’s daily routine is straightforward. The recommended serving is one chew per day. You can offer it as a treat or crumble it over your dog’s food. The chews are suitable for dogs of all breeds and sizes. Store the container in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness. If your dog is on medication or has a specific health condition, consult your veterinary surgeon before starting any new supplement.

Selecting a Suitable Probiotic for Your Dog
