What You Eat Is What You Are This Applies to Dogs Too

I am one of those people who follows a fairly healthy life style regime. Both my husband and I excersize daily and take our dog's to the dog park for over an hour every day. Along with staying fit and healthy we eat a well balanced diet. Nutrition is important to us, and so are vitamins. When we first brought both our German Shepherd puppies home with us we did a lot of research on dog foods, and kibble versus raw. We decided what was best for our dogs was a healthy natural unprocessed home made diet. Our dogs eat a combination of recipes we make for them that consists of various meats, bison, chicken, elk, rabbit, venison, lamb and lean ground beef. Along with rice, and quinoa and a number of leafy greens and carrots. They also get various bones once a day. We also believe in taking our daily vitamins, so we wanted to find out more about what vitamins are also great for dogs. My husband and I travel a lot and so we take a Probiotic pill every day as it helps with any bad bacteria you may get from various sources of foods. This also carries over to a dogs diet and so we began giving our dog's probiotic pills every morning when we take ours. For us one of the reasons we did so much research on Pro biotics for dogs is because we know that German Shepherds are prone to skin problems. We noticed immediately the health Improvements in both our dogs coats and skin just by adding a Pro biotic pill to their food every day. If you decide to take my advice you will see that your dog will have improved immune response and less allergy symptoms, your dogs will have improved skin, coat, and breath (Crowding out 'bad' or unhealthy bacteria with Probiotic provides AMAZING results when it comes to skin flakiness, dryness, excess shedding, dull coat, and bad breath). Your dog will also experience better digestion and elimination, and your dog will absorb nutrients from food more efficiently.
Probiotics for dogs help to reduce the amount of bad bacteria and toxins in the dog's body. The result is a cleaner and more efficient digestive and immune system. When you supplement your dog with pro biotics you'll notice: Better skin and coat appearance Better dog breath (no foul smell) Less gas (flatulence) Fewer allergy symptoms (for dogs with allergies) Normal (regular) bowel functions (for dogs suffering from diarrhea or constipation) Better overall health and energy levels Dogs and cats have unique digestive and immune systems, different from that of a human; dogs and cats should be given probiotics If your dog has any of the following symptoms you may want to consider implementing a pro biotic into your dogs diet. Skin Issues Poor Coat Vomiting Weight Problems Allergies Diarrhea Loose Stool or Yellow Stool Excess Gas (flatulence) Stool Eating Excessive shedding (not normal seasonal shedding)
I hope you find my story helpful, all the best!
