METHIONINE: An essential amino acid that is not synthesized by the body and must be obtained from food or supplements. It is a powerful antioxidant and a good source of sulfur, which promotes healthy skin, glossy coat and healthy nails. It can help maintain a dog’s defences against agents such as lead and other heavy metals found in airborne pollutants. Methionine is essential for the absorption, transportation and bioavailability of selenium and zinc in the body. It also acts as a liptropic agent to control excess fat buildup in the liver, and can help fatigue. It controls histamine release, most relevant to dogs with allergies. CHELATED MINERALS: The source of minerals and the level in the diet can affect not only the absorption or bioavailability, but also the bioactivity. For several minerals research has shown that the organic or chelated form of the mineral is more biologically active than the inorganic form and mineral retention can be significantly increased.

MENTHOL & EUCALYPTUS: These both have antioxidant properties and are traditionally used to keep airways clear and help breathing. Safety and tolerance of dietary supplementation with a canine-derived probiotic (Bifidobacterium animalis strain AHC7) fed to growing dogs’, 2009 - National Library of Medicine. Mix the recommended daily amount with your dog's regular food (in one feed or split between feeds). Lasts an average dog one month. By supporting each of these key areas, we can ensure our dogs are fighting fit and can potentially prevent certain health conditions as a dog gets older, helping our pooches to always feel good on the inside and look great on the outside. Lots of natural food sources contain probiotics - such as live yoghurt, sauerkraut and kombucha (mentioned above), cottage cheese, kefir, broccoli, banana and sweet potato. These can be safely fed daily to your dog to boost their probiotic intake.

Be aware that if your dog eats lots of these foods, they may be getting enough probiotics in their diet already and will have no need for supplements. Though getting more probiotics is unlikely to cause any harm, keep an eye on your pooch’s behaviour, feeding and toilet habits during any period of dietary change. To answer this, let’s take a direct journey to your dog’s gut! Here you’ll find all kinds of sloppy, sloshy functions taking place - but what you won’t see with the naked eye is the millions of bacteria, both troublesome and ‘friendly’, that inhabit and grow in your dog’s stomach and digestive tract. Essentially, probiotics contribute to those ‘friendly’ bacteria - the kind that promote a harmonious gut environment, enable proper digestion, inhibit the growth of ‘bad’ bacteria and boost your dog’s immune system. It’s true - a healthy gut has even been proven to directly affect your dog’s mental and emotional health. Often called the ‘gut-brain axis’, this refers to the concept that what goes on in the gut and gastrointestinal tract is directly linked to the brain, and vice versa - therefore having an influence on mood and behaviour (3) (4). With this in mind, using probiotics to bring harmony in the gut is a great way to reduce anxiety in dogs, promoting a physical sense of calm and wellbeing.
