What is the science behind how Rescue-K9 Max Strength works?
+ Gut Microbiota and Digestive Health in Dogs
The population of microorganisms in your dog’s gut plays a vital role in their overall health. These microorganisms:
- Assist with digestion.
- Protect against undesirable bacteria.
- Support the immune system [1].
Disruption of Gut Microorganisms
An imbalance in these microorganisms, whether caused by stress, infection, or a reaction to food, can result in digestive upset and symptoms like diarrhoea.
Benefits of Probiotics
- Probiotics offer significant health benefits for dogs by:
- Improving the composition and function of gut microbiota.
- Reducing the abundance of opportunistic pathogenic bacteria [2, 3].
- Probiotics are particularly effective in resolving diarrhoea and promoting gut health.
Rescue-K9 Formula
Rescue-K9 contains two key gut microbiome stabilisers and prebiotics that:
- Feed and encourage the growth of friendly probiotics [4].
- Provide an energy source for gut cells.
- Improve the gut surface area, enhancing nutrient absorption.
- Possess anti-carcinogenic and anti-inflammatory properties.
