5 Signs Your Bulldog Needs Probiotics

5 signs your bulldog needs probiotics

You may have heard of probiotics, but what exactly are they and how do you know if your bulldog needs them?




According to Whole Dog Journal, "Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that live in the digestive tract. There are a variety of different species belonging to genera that include Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Streptococcus, and Enterococcus (often abbreviated by first initial only in names). Some species, such as Lactobacillus, live primarily in the small intestine, while others, such as Bifidobactera, reside in the large intestine (colon)." 


Basically, probiotics are the good guys. They live in the digestive tract and fight the bacteria that can cause diarrhea and a host of other digestive issues. This is especially important for bulldogs since they are predisposed to so many health conditions. A good probiotic will help your bulldog's body absorb all the proper nutrients from their diet.

So how do you know if your bulldog needs to start using probiotics?
Look for these 5 signs: 

  1. Bad Breath
  2. Gas
  3. Bloating
  4. Constipation or Diarrhea
  5. Vomiting


If your fur kid is experiencing any of these symptoms, it may be a sign that they should start using probiotics. 

These symptoms can all be caused by harmful bacteria getting out of control. You may also find your bully has a yeast infection or is experiencing malabsorption - of course these are all things that no dog parent wants for their fur kid but how does this bad bacteria get out of control, anyway?

A lot of different things can cause the bad bacteria in your bully's gut to become imbalanced: 



  • Stress (boarding, moving, a change in routine, etc.) 
  • Old age 
  • Infection or a bacterial imbalance 
  • A change of diet (or eating something they shouldn't) 
  • Parasites 
  • Medications (especially antibiotics)

Virtually every dog is affected by at least one of these triggers in their lifetime, so many people opt to start a probiotic regimen before the symptoms begin. This is a highly recommended. As is often the case, prevention is the best medicine so starting a probiotic regimen early on will help give your bulldog's body the support it needs to remain in balance even in tough times.

A good probiotic will help keep your bulldog's body running smoothly and will ensure your dog is able to properly absorb all the good nutrients from their diet (this probiotic is our favorite). This is so important, especially for bulldogs since they are predisposed to so many health issues so their bodies can use all the support they can get.  






It's especially important for young and older bullies to make sure their bodies are able to absorb all the necessary nutrients from their diet.



Probiotics help support the immune system, keep the gut healthy, and guard the body against disease and infection. 


Probiotics promote absorption of vital nutrients by providing natural digestive enzymes, bioavailable vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients. This makes them great for dogs experiencing allergy, skin and coat conditions, hot spots, or urinary tract infections as well. 


All in all, they are a great support to just about any bulldog's immune system.

Great - but how do you know which probiotic to choose?


Organic & Natural Ingredients: There are a lot of probiotics on the market but the key to picking a good one is starting with organic and natural ingredients. With the gut, it’s always best to go natural and organic whenever possible to get the purest form of support. 


Made In The USA: Make sure your probiotic is made in the USA. You have have heard in recent years about the dogs who have died as a result of food, treats, etc. made in China. When it comes to anything your dog is meant to ingest, it’s always best to play it safe and stick to only feeding things made in the USA so you have a better idea of how exactly it has been treated.

what to look for in a probiotic

FDA Inspected Manufacturer: Make sure the probiotic is made with a FDA inspected manufacturer so again, you know there is regulation to ensure all the ingredients are treated properly and the ingredients listed are truly what’s inside. 


The Right Mix: Make sure your probiotic has a balanced mix of Acidophilus, Plantarum, Casei, Lactis, Bifidum, and Fermentum for maximum benefit. This mix is what does the “heavy lifting” to help keep the intestines healthy and running smoothly.


Nucleotides With PSB Complex Enzymes: Look for probiotics that include nucleotides with PSB complex enzymes. According to psbcomplex.com, “Nucleotides play a critical role in the body in that they accelerate the cell proliferation process (the reproduction of cells). The production of new cells allows an animal to recover much quicker from the type of stress it is under (performance, illness, disease, injury, etc.).” This makes PSB complex enzymes a vital addition to any probiotic.

Hawaiian Kona Berry: Last but not least, look for a probiotic with kona berry included as kona helps provide the highest levels of free radical and inflammation prevention so this will allow all the other ingredients to work to their maximum benefit. 


It can be tricky to find a probiotic that has the right balance of all these ingredients, but this one from Feed A Shelter Dog knocks it out of the park. It checks all the boxes. It’s made with natural and organic ingredients in the USA, uses a FDA inspected manufacturer, and has the right balance of all the right ingredients resulting in a powerful probiotic.

Carolynn

The dog loves it I add it to his breakfast every morning - really easy and it seems to have helped him get back in balance after the antibiotics he was on. Great product. 

William

My dog was starting to have issues as he is getting older so I thought it was time to start using probiotics. I'm glad I found this one - I love that it's made in the USA and that you give back to feed shelter dogs for a month every time I reorder. I have already told my friends about your organization. Keep up the great work.

Anna

My dog tends to have a nervous stomach so it seemed like he was constantly having potty issues but now that he's been using this for a while now, he hasn't had any issues! I definitely think it has helped. I had no idea about the bad bacteria, but I'm glad I know now. Will definitely e reordering.
