For whom is OMNi-BiOTiC® CAT & DOG suitable?

The microbiome of cats and dogs fulfills vital tasks and is very similar to that of humans in composition and function. The friends in the animal intestine are responsible, among other things, for ensuring that food can be utilized and that indigestible or harmful substances are excreted again.

Important vitamins, enzymes, antibiotic substances and hormones are also produced by the intestinal bacteria, as are important short-chain fatty acids. These are particularly important for keeping the intestinal mucosa healthy, as they supply its cells with energy. As in humans, the intestinal mucosa itself forms an effective barrier against pollutants and disease-causing viruses, parasites and germs. In addition, up to 80% of all immune cells in the body are located in the intestines, which, together with the intestinal barrier, are of central importance for animal health.

Every pet owner has already experienced that their own four-legged friend struggles with intestinal problems, and these often manifest themselves in frequent emptying of the intestine: the animal body tries to get rid of foreign or harmful substances as quickly as possible. The droppings are very soft to liquid, and sometimes there are leftovers or foreign matter in them. Diarrhea is usually a symptom of an existing problem and often occurs when the animal's intestinal flora is out of balance.

How does OMNi-BiOTiC® CAT & DOG work?

OMNi-BiOTiC® CAT & DOG is an innovative probiotic that was specially developed for cats and dogs to stabilize the sensitive animal intestinal flora. As with our products for human owners, the proven OMNi-BiOTiC® quality is also the top priority for OMNi-BiOTiC® CAT & DOG:

Two bacterial strains that are scientifically tested and suitable for cats and dogs - Enterococcus faecium DSM 10663/NCIMB 10415 and Lactobacillus acidophilus CECT 4529 - which are particularly suitable for stabilizing the intestinal flora, are combined in OMNi-BiOTiC® CAT & DOG. The special feature: The high number of useful microbes contained guarantees that even the smallest possible daily dose contains at least 1.25 billion viable and reproductive bacteria.

The intestinal bacteria for cats and dogs are supplemented with the high-quality dietary fiber MOS (mannan-oligosaccharides), which serves as food for the beneficial bacteria in the animal intestine and thus as a basis for life.

What can unbalance the animal intestinal flora?

Think about your own gut: When does your digestion rebel? Exactly when your diet changes (e.g. when you eat high-fat fast food due to lack of time), when you have increased stress or when medication such as antibiotics kills not only the harmful germs but also the beneficial bacteria. It's the same with your pet!

indigestion from feed

Diet-related diarrhea is one of the most common complaints of the animal digestive tract. Abrupt feed changes lead to diarrhea and / or vomiting in up to 49% of cats: because the feed serves as food for the intestinal bacteria - and if this is changed, important microbes are deprived of their livelihood and the composition of the intestinal flora is thrown off balance. Feeding mistakes (spoiled food, excessive sugar, fat or lactose content) and food allergies often cause digestive problems in the four-legged friends.

New home and new owner

If the familiar environment changes, it can be very stressful for animals. A change of location (e.g. due to the owner moving, accommodation in an animal boarding house, etc.) or a new caregiver (due to a change of owner) often trigger diarrhea in cats and dogs. Puppies and kittens have more diarrhea, especially after suckling, because at this point the young animals are often separated from their mothers, experience a new home with new owners and are used to normal food - many changes that can stress the soul and intestines .

Antibiotics: clear cut in the intestines

Antibiotics are a “miracle weapon” for humans and animals alike when it comes to fighting harmful germs. Unfortunately, these drugs cannot distinguish between good and bad bacteria, and so the useful "helpers" are destroyed in every antibiotic therapy, even in the animal's intestine. The result: pathogenic germs (e.g. Clostridium perfringens, salmonella) can spread almost unhindered and not only cause diarrhea, but also permanently change the composition of the intestinal flora, so that the intestinal bacteria are permanently impaired in the performance of their tasks.

How is OMNi-BiOTiC® CAT & DOG used?

OMNi-BiOTiC® CAT & DOG is suitable for cats and dogs of all ages. The powder is added to the food (wet or dry) or a little liquid (activation time is not required), the feeding recommendation depends on the pet's weight:

• Animals from 16 to < 30 kg: 1 x daily 1 measuring spoon (= 2.5 x 109 CFU*)
• Animals from 30 to < 40 kg: 1 x daily 2 measuring spoons (= 5 x 109 CFU*)
