New puppies often have roundworms and hookworms. They can either be passed in utero or through their mom’s milk during breast feeding. Probiotics can help to prevent worms because they boost their immune systems to help them fight off worms and assist in getting rid of parasites by helping their digestive systems.
In addition to supporting a strong immune system when you give your puppy a daily probiotic it helps to develop a balance of intestinal bacteria and reduce the incidence of diarrhea, constipation and digestive tract infections. Some puppies will be prone to diarrhea after training classes or trips to the vet. Making sure they get their probiotics prior to these stressful events can help. Changes in environment, boarding and other stressful situations can lead to an imbalance in your puppy’s intestinal health. Puppies are extra susceptible to these imbalances. Probiotics are often very helpful with these bouts of digestive upset.
When puppies are born they do not have a microbiome but they start to build one right away. They get their microbes from their mothers, the people in their life and their surroundings. Everything they come in contact with including toys, you, their food and probiotics help to build it.
Many people opt to have their young dogs spay or neutered. NovAnimal has a special formula available through vets to help your puppy recover from surgery. A strong probiotic immediately following surgery can help curtail unpleasant side effects including vomiting, diarrhea and loss of appetite. Probiotics also replenish the good bacteria in their gut after antibiotics. You will likely also be giving your young dog some shots. Studies have indicated that dogs who were given probiotics had a stronger immune response to the distemper vaccine.
Likely you are working on training your new puppy and probiotics can actually help their brains to function better which will aid in training them. Studies have shown that the day to day behaviour of dogs who take daily probiotics was improved. Most dogs who are probiotic treated experience reduced anxiety and bark, jump and pace less.
Having a puppy is a wonderful time and the start to a life long devoted friendship. Giving them a daily probiotic is a vital step in ensuring their growth into a healthy, happy dog.
