PROTHRIVE Spunky Digestive Supplement - Probiotics, Digestive Enzymes, Joint Support for Cats and Dogs, 227 g

How to Uses PROTHRIVE Spunky Digestive Supplement

This supplement comes as a powder that you can easily mix into your pet's food. The recommended dose depends on your pet's weight. Start with a small amount and gradually increase over a few days to allow the digestive system to adjust. For the best results, uses it consistently as part of a balanced diet. Store the container in a cool, dry place. Because the probiotics are microencapsulated, they remain shelf-stable and do not need refrigeration.

Most pets accept the taste readily when mixed with wet or dry food. If your pet is picky, try mixing with a small amount of a favourite treat or broth. Consistency is key to seeing improvements in digestion, odour control and joint comfort.

Key Benefits of Probiotics for Canine and Feline Health

PROTHRIVE Spunky offers a multi-pronged approach to your pet's wellness. Here are the primary benefits:

• Digestive Support: The blend of probiotics and enzymes helps break down food more thoroughly, reducing gas, bloating and occasional digestive upset. Microencapsulation technology protects the probiotics from stomach acid, ensuring they reach the hind gut where they are most effective.
• Joint Health: Glucosamine is included to help maintain joint flexibility and support mobility. This is especially valuable for active pets and seniors experiencing age-related joint discomfort.
• Odour Control: Yucca extract helps neutralise ammonia and balance urinary pH, reducing lawn discolouration and minimising unpleasant smells in your home and garden. Regular uses can lead to a fresher environment for both you and your pet.
• Immune Function: A healthy gut is closely linked to immune health. By supporting the gut microbiome, this supplement may help your pet's natural defences.

These benefits work together to help your pet stay energetic, active and comfortable at every life stage.

What Are Probiotics for Dogs and Cats?

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that support the balance of microorganisms in your pet's digestive tract. Just like in humans, a healthy gut microbiome is essential for proper digestion, nutrient absorption and immune function. PROTHRIVE Spunky contains four types of probiotics specially selected for pets, along with seven digestive enzymes to help break down proteins, fats and carbohydrates. This combination helps your dog or cat get the most out of their food, especially if they eat highly processed diets that may lack natural enzymes.

Probiotics for pets are often recommended after antibiotic uses, during dietary changes or for ageing animals that may have reduced digestive efficiency. They can also help maintain regular bowel movements and support overall gut health. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any disease. Always consult your veterinary surgeon before starting any new supplement.

How to Choose the Right Probiotic for Your Pet

When selecting a probiotic supplement for your dog or cat, consider the following factors:

• Strain Diversity: Look for products with multiple strains of beneficial bacteria. PROTHRIVE Spunky includes four types of probiotics, which target different areas of the digestive system.
• Enzyme Content: Digestive enzymes are not always included in probiotics, but they can enhance the breakdown of food. This product contains seven enzymes to aid digestion.
• Delivery Form: Microencapsulation ensures that probiotics survive stomach acid. This feature is crucial for effectiveness.
• Additional Ingredients: Ingredients like glucosamine and yucca add value for joint and odour control. Choose a supplement that matches your pet's specific needs.
• Pet Age and Size: This formula is suitable for pets of all ages, from puppies and kittens to seniors. Always follow the dosage recommendations based on your pet's weight.

Always consult your veterinary surgeon before starting any new supplement, especially if your pet has underlying health conditions or is on medication.
