Industry Expert Opinions
"Probiotics are live yeast and bacteria. They are not disease-causing, meaning they are nonpathogenic. When taken in the proper amounts, probiotics can impart health benefits to humans and dogs." - Dr. Amy Attas, VMD of New York-based practice City Pets. "Having a healthy amount of bacteria in the digestive system directly correlates to your dog's immune system and overall health. Probiotics ensure a proper balance of microbes, which helps support the health of the immune system, which can decrease inflammation and discomfort." - Dr. Gary Richter, M.S., D.V.M., C.V.C., C.V.A., founder of Ultimate Pet Nutrition.
