What probiotics are and how they work in the body
In both humans and animals, the intestinal flora, also known as the microbiota, is a natural collection of microorganisms. These include yeasts, protozoa and bacteria, all of which are highly beneficial to the body.
This is because they have an important role to play in ensuring the proper absorption of nutrients. They also fight microorganisms that can cause problems, such as diarrhea, colic and even abdominal discomfort.
In other words, probiotics optimize pets' immunity. Especially during times of stress or transition. They are therefore suitable for the birth and weaning phases of dogs and cats.
It is also a treatment that goes well with feed changes and prolonged transportation, which can cause stress in your pet. Probiotics are therefore recommended for any other stressful occasions for the animal.
Benefits of probiotics for pets' skin
As already mentioned, probiotics strengthen the immune system of dogs and cats. After all, they contribute to the greater absorption of minerals, vitamins and other nutrients found in food. As a result, there is an immediate response in the quality of life and well-being of the animals.
And more specifically in relation to the health of their skin. That's because probiotics for pets' skin are very effective.
For example, probiotics for the skin serve to replenish the beneficial bacteria that have been eliminated by the use of antibiotics, whether oral or topical. These probiotics strengthen the structure and normalize the functions of the skin and coat. They also soften the adverse effects of skin dryness and an imbalance in the skin's microflora caused by medications, including antibiotics.
An animal with dermatitis may need to be bathed with shampoo containing antibiotics. This causes dryness in the skin and coat, changes in the skin's pH and the elimination of bacteria and fungi, which causes an imbalance in the skin's natural flora. This is where the use of probiotics comes in, to restore the balance and activate the skin's beneficial microbiota.
Soft Care's SKB-on Complex contains high-tech pre- and probiotics. The mousse and spray, both easy to apply, restore balance and activate the skin's beneficial microbiota.
