Many poop scoopers know that when dogs have symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort such as diarrhea, soft stools, smelly farts, etc., they can take some probiotics to improve the symptoms.
But do you know the correct use of probiotics? If the wrong method is used, the effect of probiotics will be lost and the effect of improving the gastrointestinal tract will not be achieved.
In order to maximize the effect of probiotics, today Wheat will teach you about the correct use of probiotics.
01
Brew in warm water
Generally, probiotics are packaged in powder or granules. These probiotics are dormant before they come into contact with water. Once they come into contact with water, they will be activated to help balance the flora and restore gastrointestinal health.
However, when brewing probiotics, the water temperature must be controlled within 40°C. Because when probiotics are exposed to heat, the flora will be destroyed and lose their activity, so they cannot achieve the effect of repairing the gastrointestinal tract.
02
Consumption time
Since dogs like meat, they need a lot of gastric acid for digestion. However, gastric acid and probiotics cannot coexist, and they will destroy the activity of probiotics.
Most of the probiotics on the market are not specially treated, which results in the probiotics being destroyed by gastric acid before they reach the intestines. The flora and quantity of bacteria that actually reach the intestinal tract are far from meeting the needs of pets.
Therefore, when taking probiotics for dogs, owners should choose to take them half an hour after a meal to ensure that the live bacteria can more easily reach the tract.
03
Control the exposure time of probiotics
Active probiotics are easily oxidized and lose activity when exposed to the air for a long time.
This requires the pet owner to allow the pet to take probiotics within 15 minutes to minimize the loss of the bacterial flora.
It turns out that there are so many things to pay attention to when consuming probiotics. Why don’t you keep them in mind? !
