Probiotics are good not only for humans but also for animals. If you have gastrointestinal discomfort, you can eat some probiotics appropriately. However, some people may ask, since they are good for the gastrointestinal tract, can human probiotics also be given to dogs?
Dogs cannot eat human probiotics. Because the intestinal flora of dogs and humans are different, blindly feeding dogs probiotics from humans may cause intestinal flora disorders in dogs, leading to digestive tract symptoms such as diarrhea and flatulence. Therefore, it is recommended that owners feed their dogs canine-specific probiotics to help them digest food and regulate the balance of gastrointestinal flora.
There are many types of probiotics for dogs on the market, including Tai Naughty, Changkang, Jiajunkang, Changweibao, Madex, and Doolittle's colostrum probiotics, etc. Different dogs have different targeted probiotics. For example, puppies have special probiotics for puppies. Guangwei Bao is suitable for all breeds of dogs. The price is relatively cheap, and owners can buy it according to the situation.
Dog probiotics can be directly placed in water, mixed with food and fed, or can be licked directly by dogs. The following points need to be noted: First, if it is placed in water, the water temperature is generally recommended to be below 40 degrees Celsius. Excessive temperature will cause the probiotics to inactivate, and it will have no effect even if the dog drinks it. Secondly, if the dog does not have diarrhea or is not in the food change stage, it is not recommended to feed probiotics, otherwise it will destroy the balance of intestinal flora.
If it is a puppy under 2 kg, feed half a bag each time. If it is a puppy of about 2 to 10 kg, feed one bag at a time, 1 to 2 times a day. Probiotics are mainly used for dogs with indigestion, gastrointestinal discomfort, gastroenteritis, gastrointestinal problems, etc. They can regulate the dog’s gastrointestinal function, increase the beneficial bacteria in the dog’s gastrointestinal tract, and enhance gastrointestinal motility.
