By promoting a healthy balance of intestinal bacteria, these probiotics can help firm up stools and reduce frequency. A healthy gut is also closely linked to a robust immune system – around 70% of immune tissue resides in the gut. FortiFlora helps maintain normal intestinal microflora, which may support immune function in puppies and senior dogs alike. Some owners also notice less gas and bloating when their dog's gut flora is balanced. Each tablet contains microencapsulated probiotics, protecting the bacteria from heat and moisture so they reach the intestines alive and effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Are Probiotics for Dogs?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eProbiotics are live microorganisms that help maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in your dog's digestive tract. Just as in humans, a dog's gut is home to a complex community of bacteria vital for digestion, nutrient absorption, and immunity. Stress, dietary changes, or antibiotics can disrupt this balance, leading to loose stools or diarrhoea. Probiotic supplements introduce beneficial bacteria directly into the gut. FortiFlora contains the specific strain \u003cem\u003eEnterococcus faecium\u003c\/em\u003e, which has been shown to survive stomach acid and reach the intestines alive. This helps restore and maintain healthy microflora, promoting overall digestive wellness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeveloped with veterinary input, FortiFlora is a veterinary-exclusive probiotic available without prescription.
