Buyer Beware! Read this before you buy probiotics for your dog.
Dog probiotics are a new healthy trend in the dog and pet industry right now. The truth is, dog probiotics are an essential supplement for dog health. However, it seems that a host of brands are adding probiotics to their food and new probiotic supplements for dogs are showing up all the time. We wanted to know which dog probiotics we could trust.
Now Read This:
Not all probiotics are alike. Many cheap probiotics are unstable and lose their beneficial properties in the dog's stomach before the probiotics can reach the intestine. The intestine is where the probiotics need to plant in order to seed the dog's intestinal tract with healthy flora.
The Right Dog Probiotics Will Help Dogs With:
- Yeast Overgrowth, yeast infection, and rash
- Excessive Shedding
- Gas and Breath Odor
- Improved skin and coat
- Improved bowel function
Why do some dog probiotics need to be refrigerated and others not?
Dog probiotics, like any probiotic, are live cultures and are generally unstable at temperatures over 75 degrees. HOWEVER, the temperature inside the body is well over 75 degrees, not to mention that the probiotics would have to pass through hostile stomach acid and bile to get to the intestine. So what is the answer? The answer is to buy a probiotic supplement that contains stabilized strains of bacteria. The fact is, a probiotic that requires refrigeration may not be stable and could die on impact with the body (making the probiotic ineffective). Make sure you read the label of any dog probiotics to be sure that the probiotics are stabilized. Also be sure that your probiotic contains prebiotics (or a prebiotic, such as FOS).

The code works. Just ordered the small miracle pak to try on my Great Pyr/Chow Mix. He has food intolerances and allergies - I suspect yeast issues....hopefully adding these to his diet will help him.

I was giving my maltese Inteliflora, but had to stop. After actually looking at the ingredients, I couldn't believe that I was giving Inteliflora to her in the first place. It contains maltodextrin, poultry Liver, Ferrous Sulfate, Copper Proteinate, Taurine, and Sodium Alumino Silicate... to name a few very undesirable ingredients! I was disapointed to say the least. Thank you for the research. Probiotic Miracle has been a MIRACLE! Incredible results! I recommend it all the time now. The Nusentia company also has a very good article on their websites about probiotics for pets and which strains of bacteria have been researched for dogs (with references to the actual research articles). VERY good company. GREAT recommendation!

After reading this web site and the reviews on other sites about Probitoic Miracle, I am going to give this a try. Everyone is raving about it. My yorkie needs a lot of help. I'm hoping this works. The code worked.

the coupon code worked, just checked out. Can't wait to try Probiotic Miracle! My pup has been so ill, my vet recommended dog probiotics. As a note to other readers, you can find Probiotic Miracle on Amazon and read the reviews, most review this product very highly.

My 9 year old female Lowchen has been on an antibiotic, off and on, since May 2011. My veterinarian suggested Forti Flora as a dog probiotic which I have been adding to her meals. However, as I did some research, I found Forti Flora contains only ONE probiotic but seems to be the favorite of veterinarians. I wonder why. After reading your article and learning which probiotics it contains, I am ordering Probiotic Miracle and I thank you!

We ordered last month after trying FortiFlora. I had to tell you two things, and I usually don't comment on these sort of things, but: the coupon code worked AND PROBIOTIC MIRACLE WORKED!! Far better than Forti Flora and a better price at that. Thank you!!

I found you website very informative. My dog recently developed pemphigus foliaceus and she is on a lot of medication. I have suggested probiotics to the vet and was glad I read you page to give me more information. Due to the meds she has many symptoms mentioned.

I decided to try Probiotic Miracle after reading your web site. I had previously tried Vetri-Science Everyday Probiotics as well as Animal Essentials dog probiotics. Probiotic Miracle not only provided way better results but for the amount of probiotics you get, it is much better priced. 1 large container of these dog probiotics lasts about 6 months in our house. Much cheaper than going to the vet! So far, she is very healthy, better coat and no more smelly breath or body odor. It matches its name, its a MIRACLE! haha. I'll also tell you that I add just a little scoop to her food and she eats it up, she doesn't even notice it is on the food. I'm sure, if she knew and could speak, she would thank you too. I appreciate you putting this information together, it really saved us.
