  Does your dog seem to have an extra sensitive stomach? Often times a dose of acidophilus can help – humans take it all the time, too!

Acidophilus is a probiotic often found in yogurt that aids in digestion: it puts the good bacteria in your system! Check with your vet to see if giving your buddy this supplement will help that sensitive stomach.

    I had to take this when I had my wisdom teeth out. I was on a strong antibiotic and it helped put the good bacteria back in my stomach. What a great help, I wish other doctors had told me about it before.

    When you are talking about prebotics these are very important to the natural health of the dogs.
    Chicory is a natural prebotic and has been around for 5000 years with results to back this up.
    You can get chircory in powder or liquid form and just put a tsp. of this on their meal.

    is it safe to give your dog a “tums” if they have a grumbling stomach and seem uncomfortable and don’t really have an appetite. My 7 mo.old mastif mix must have gotten into something and had a bad bellyache last night but is better this AM

    I usually feed my 24lb. terrier mix some cottage cheese with a bit of the cooked ground turkey, green beans & carrots and white rice. The cottage cheese seems to help a lot. Also, I give them about 1/2 tsp. of Pepto Bismol. So far, so good. I told the vet and he said it was ok. Just research the web in different sites or just call your vet and ask. Let us know what you find out and share with the rest of us animal lovers.

    probiotics are a wonder for people and animals. It also stimulates the immune system. I used it on a pup I had rescued who had pain, along with garlic and quercetin. After just a few days he was pain free, and barking. People also need probiotics on a daily basis.

    Absolutely. Doctors and conventional vets. are quick to prescribe antibiotics to us and our wonderful pets for just about anything. By getting a good probiotic formula, like PB8, we can make sure to replace the good bacteria in the gut. This will help with digestion and immune system. My in-law’s son has been fighting colds and things of that sort for years with probiotics. He is able to nip the infections in the bud if he takes it as soon as he is aware something is wrong. I have seen benefits in my dogs as well. When a parvo infection came around. Only one of my 9 puppies had to go to the vet., just because I had been cooking for them once a day and putting garlic, quercetin and PB8 in their food. The vets called me and said Snoopy’s recovery was outstanding. It was a great relief!
