In July of this year we added a unique K9 species-specific probiotic and prebiotic mix to our products because we strongly believe that a healthy microflora is essential to overall health. The bacteria in our pets microbiome play a very important role in health including:
1) Bolstering the immune system 2) Keeping the gastrointestinal tract calm during times of stress 3) Improving availability of nutrients in the diet 4) Improving production of neurotransmitters in the brain 5) Inhibiting the growth of a number of pathogenic strains of Salmonella, E. Coli and Listeria
While many pets are thriving as a result of this addition, a number of cats and some dogs have experienced reactions to this mixture.
YOUR FEEDBACK IS IMPORTANT!
We are conducting research into both the inclusion amounts, prebiotic recipe and the specific strains to determine how to best ensure that we can continue to provide the healthiest food possible without causing any stress or discomfort for pets (or their parents). Your feedback will assist us in this research.
