Support Your Dog's Gut Health Naturally

A healthy gut is crucial for your dog's overall well-being. A recent study published in Animals [1] explored how a novel supplement, rich in antioxidants, could positively influence the gut microbiome of dogs. The supplement contained bromelain, quercetin, and Lentinula edodes (shiitake mushroom). The research showed that the supplement increased the presence of beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, known for their anti-inflammatory properties. Importantly, this boost in good bacteria didn't disrupt the overall balance of the gut.

This research suggests that this supplement blend could be a natural way to support a healthy gut microbiome in dogs. By promoting beneficial bacteria and maintaining overall balance, it may contribute to improved digestion, a stronger immune system, and reduced inflammation.
