Why Enzymes and Probiotics?
We are glad you asked!
Enzymes are amylase, protease, lipase, and cellulase. Each enzyme has a specific job, to help digest carbohydrates and starches, protein, fat, and fiber. Your dog and cat NEED enzymes to effectively use and utilize their food.
Your pets do not produce enough enzymes to process their food effectively. Dogs and cats in the wild get the added enzymes they need in the prey diet they hunt. Today's dogs do not hunt for their meals and most of our domesticated cats live indoors or go outside to play and occasionally catch a mouse or bird. Our cats and dogs are enzyme deficient.
Enzymes play a vital role in supporting the immune system, in absorption of vitamins and minerals from their food and yes, enzymes help reduce the occasional bloating, gas, heartburn, and constipation. Enzymes are pretty important in the health of your pet.
So what are probiotics? They are the beneficial good bacteria our pets need to aid in the overall maintenance and health of the gastrointestinal tract. Probiotics also help to ward off any bad bacteria from overtaking their GI tract.
Your pet's GI tract can be easily influenced by many factors like antibiotics and steroids. Other factors include sudden change in diet, poor-quality diet, strange eating habits, vaccinations, and the list goes on. All of these can upset the delicate balance of good and bad bacteria in the GI tract creating nutritional and health problems.
Both enzymes and probiotics play a vital role in maintaining the health and vitality of our pets! Stop in and talk to one of Thomas' Tails knowledgeable staff about starting your pet on enzymes and probiotics. You will see the difference it can make in your pet's life!
