So-called "bad-bacteria" is prevented from growing in the intestinal tract when specific microorganisms are present since they cause the pH in the intestinal tract to be lowered.<br /> <br /> Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium are the two most frequently used strains for humans, which add to healthy gut flora, which in turn maintain the immune system to allow the body to fight disease and balance bacteria present in the digestive system.<br /> <br /> More than likely, if you already knew that, you might be taking some kind of probiotic to maintain your own good health, but have you considered giving your dog or cat a probiotic?<br /> <br /> It is apparent that we should not administer a product meant for human beings to an animal, however, factors such as pet food heavyweight Purina and probiotics have led to the manufacture of a few excellent products. The products include FortiFlora Feline and FortiFlora Canine in this regard.<br /> <br /> You may be asking yourself what exactly is FortiFlora. FortiFlora is made with a microencapsulated form of the Enterococcus Probiotic, which is mixed with protein, vitamins and minerals. It is available in one-gram packets of 30 in each box and promises an assurance to deliver 1 X 108 CFU/g of Enterococcus Faecium SF68.<br /> <br /> What is the purpose of FortiFlora? Adding FortiFlora to your pet's food will boost your dog or cat's ability to combat disease.<br /> <br /> For help with intestinal problems such as diarrhea, acute enteritis and poor fecal quality, use probiotics. They can also balance your digestive system after use of antibiotics.<br /> <br /> How do I use probiotics for my pet?
