What should the owner pay attention to when taking probiotics for dogs with diarrhea?

 Probiotics for pets should be familiar to everyone. Probiotics should be one of the most common pet medicines and health products for pet owners:

• Usually the dog has diarrhea, the owner gives it probiotics
• The dog has indigestion, the owner gives it probiotics
• The dog is picky and loses appetite, so the owner gives it probiotics
• Dogs poop and stinks, the owner feeds them probiotics
• Dog skin diseases, pet owners give them probiotics

In short, pet probiotics are widely used in normal times, and they are convenient and simple to use. The owner can use it without the help of a veterinarian. However, many pet owners have responded that pet probiotics do not work. What is the reason?

In fact, it doesn't work for dogs to eat probiotics. There are generally two reasons:

The first is the cause of diarrhea in dogs, which can not be solved by supplementing with probiotics. For example, if a dog turns his intestines, then if you use probiotics to stop diarrhea, it has no effect.

The second reason is the wrong use and preservation of probiotics by pet owners, because if pet owners use probiotics incorrectly, it is equivalent to giving the dog a drink of starch without any effect.

The first error: (Storage error)

The current pet probiotics can be roughly divided into two types. The first type can be stored at room temperature, and the more advanced freeze-drying preservation technology is used. The second type requires 2-8° refrigeration storage. Generally this The species uses live probiotics. In theory, the effect of using probiotics stored in cold storage is better, because we know that live probiotics can play a better role in our intestines.

After many pet owners buy probiotics, whether they are stored at room temperature or refrigerated, they don’t matter if they are stored in the drawer. If they are probiotics that need to be refrigerated, then the probiotics will be wasted and they will be eaten by dogs. It won't work anymore.

Tips:

Regardless of whether it is refrigerated probiotics or pet probiotics stored at room temperature, we should not be exposed to the sun for a long time, which will damage the medicine.

When buying probiotics, be sure to ask whether the pet probiotics should be stored in cold storage or at room temperature.

The second error: (feeding error)

Puppy's digestive function is not perfect, and food is unstable, so it often has stomach troubles, then pet owners will give dogs probiotics, but a characteristic of puppies eating food is that the dog food is soaked in hot water In order to save trouble, many pet owners directly sprinkle probiotics into dog food soaked in hot water. At this time, the probiotics are useless, because once the probiotics encounter water over 40°, they will live inside. The probiotics become dead, so it doesn't make any sense to eat more in the stomach.

Some dogs don't like to eat probiotics, so the owner will pour the probiotics directly into the dog's mouth. As we said, many pet probiotics are now freeze-dried, so theoretically the effect will be better after being dissolved in water. Better.

The third error:

Dogs have diarrhea. When pet owners give them probiotics, they will take it together with anti-inflammatory drugs. Many pet owners also give them anti-inflammatory drugs and probiotics at the same time to save trouble. Everyone knows that antibiotics are sterilizing. And probiotics are tonic, then the two of them will fight, and the last two medicines will cancel each other out, and no one will work. If the dog eats it for nothing, the owner spends the money.

Tips:

Probiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs should be given to dogs separately. For example, anti-inflammatory drugs should be given first, and then probiotics should be given half an hour later.

4th error

Many pet owners give their dogs probiotics, the effect is good, and then in the usual feeding, they will give them large doses. They think that the more they eat, the better, and the long-term large doses, we know Probiotics help dogs digest food and maintain the intestinal flora. Then everything has a stable value. If the amount exceeds this amount, the quality will change. When the dog's intestinal probiotics are too much, its intestinal peristalsis will be affected. Speed up, digestion and metabolism become stronger, so dogs will have diarrhea.

Therefore, the more probiotics for dogs, the better. In fact, the drugs and foods for dogs are the same, just the right amount, not the more the better.

Tips:

For dogs who usually eat probiotics, we must eat them according to the amount of health care, and dogs without digestive problems in their intestines do not need to eat probiotics for a long time.

This time everyone knows why the probiotics you give to dogs don't work. It's not because the probiotics you bought are cheap, nor because you bought fake probiotics, but because you used them in the wrong way. Yes, we must consult a veterinarian when giving medicine to a dog!
