Why just add fiber to your pet food when you can add Prebiotics? Prebiotics are a powerful mechanism in maintaining digestive health of pets, but what exactly do they do and what benefits will pets see?

 

Prebiotics work by “feeding” the good bacteria that live in the lower part of the intestinal tract. The unique molecular structure of prebiotics can only be utilized by certain groups of bacteria, while other groups – detrimental ones in the case of prebiotics – cannot use them.  Feeding the correct bacteria in the intestinal tract is important, as gut bacteria are increasingly associated with health and disease in both humans and animals.

 

Some of the benefitsassociated with prebiotics in both humans and pets may include improved intestinal regularity, effects on calcium and trace mineral absorption and lower intestinal pH. The lower intestinal pH supports a healthy intestine because it is the result of short-chain fatty acid production. Short-chain fatty acids are fuel for the intestinal wall and their effect on intestinal pH creates an unfavorable environment for certain groups of “bad” bacteria. While some prebiotic benefits may not be visible, chronically feeding prebiotic-enriched foods supports longer-term gut health.
