What are probiotics?

Just like the probiotics that healthy humans consume, pet probiotics are live microorganisms that provide digestion benefits, improve gut health, and enhance immunity when consumed appropriately.
These live microorganisms primarily consist of bacteria and yeasts. Probiotics for pets are frequently included in their diet to support a healthy balance of good and bad bacteria in the gut. A balanced gut, also known as the microbiome, safeguards the gastrointestinal tract from harmful microbes, enhances the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals, aids in food digestion, and supports the immune system, skin health, mood, and so much more.
Probiotics are also available in different strains that offer unique benefits, so make sure you choose a clinically tested option like G'Day Paw Probiotics!

What you need to know about bacteria?

Bacteria are often described as “good” or “bad.” Historically, all bacteria were thought to be harmful because the first ones identified were those that caused illness. Today, we understand that most bacteria are either harmless or beneficial, and several types are essential for survival. Only a very small number of bacteria are pathogenic or potentially harmful. Among the “good bacteria,” probiotics stand out as particularly beneficial to both human and pet health. Our G'Day Paw products are developed to harness the benefits of these "good" bacteria to provide long term health benefits.

G'DAY PAW PROBIOTICS

G'Day Paw Probiotics focus on helping pets maintain a balanced gut microbiota by promoting the growth of good bacteria and inhibiting harmful ones. Our probiotics can improve digestion, enhance nutrient absorption, and support a strong immune system in pets. They are commonly found in certain foods and dietary supplements designed specifically for pets.

PROBIOTICS FOR PETS

The World Health Organization (WHO) defined probiotics as “live microorganisms, which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host.” Although this definition was initially created for humans, it also applies to our pets, highlighting the crucial role probiotics play in supporting their health and wellbeing.

The importance of bacteria strain specificity

Different probiotic products contain different strains which have different effects on Pet and Human bodies. For instance, one strain may improve digestion, while another may boost the immune system. Choosing specific strains that are known for their health benefits allows pet owners to target particular health concerns more effectively.

It’s not enough to say a product contains “lactic acid bacteria” or “Lactobacillus reuteri.” The product must specify the species and strain name to identify which probiotic it contains. For example, a product containing Lactobacillus reuteri NCIMB 30242 is not the same as one containing Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938.

Clinically proven to be effective

Clinical studies are a vital step of ensuring the safety and effectiveness of a probiotic strain. A probiotic product label should indicate the strain of probiotics and all associated properties. Products developed based on clinical studies must contain the exact same strain and dose as those tested in the trials. All of our G'Day Paw products undergo Australian clinical trials to ensure we have the highest quality product possible!
