Dogs need supplements just as much as humans do. In fact, if their primary food is commercial

pet food, dogs need supplements even more!

There are basic supplements that dogs require as they get older, like digestive enzymes, and

others that they need throughout life, like omega 3/6 oils, minerals, and probiotics. Why probiotics

for dogs?

Your Dog may Look and Act Healthy, But...

Domesticating a dog is behavioral, but domesticating dogs' diet has led to a growing health crisis.

In order for a dog to be truly healthy, it needs to be fed a diet that resembles that of his wild

ancestors, who hunt and kill fresh game. They supplement their diet by eating grass and dirt! More

on this in a minute.

The closest you are likely to get is a raw diet consisting of free-range chicken, and grass-fed meat

that are hormone and antibiotic- free. To this basic diet add supplements that replace the grassand dirt. If you do that, your dogs will be healthier, happier and live longer!

Perhaps the most powerful medical quotes of all time is completely ignored by American doctors

and veterinarians.

of Medicine, Great Britain

Probiotic Supplements and Intestinal Balance

Dannons' highly successful advertising campaign, back in the seventies, suggested that the

Hunzas lived well over 100 because they ate yogurt- a probiotic! Never mind that the air they

breathed nor the soil that grew their fruits and vegetables and raised their meat was pollution-free,

or that the yogurt the Hunzas ate had little in common with Dannon or any other commercial

yogurt. Yet, today there is fierce competition for your dairy-based probiotic dollar. Buyer beware!

Briefly, commercial grade probiotics, like yogurt or acidophilus supplements, comes from cattle

that are not grass-fed, do not live in open pastures where they would exercise, breathe fresh air,

and get vitamin D from sun light. Instead, they live in close quarters, toxic environments: They are

injected with growth hormones and antibiotics. If there ever was any nutrient value to this milk, it

was destroyed when it was pasteurized and homogenized. People and pets with dairy allergies

are actually suffering from the effects of the care, feeding and processing of commercial dairy

cows. People who switched to organic milk find they are no longer allergic!

Resolving GI related problems that have not advanced to chronic, is often as simple as giving

them a daily probiotic! Why? Digestion and elimination are time sensitive. Too short, or too long,

eventually leads to a health crisis.

The more processed the food, the more difficult it is for the digestive system to break it down. Thistakes a huge toll on the colonies of good (probiotic) bacteria as they expend themselves in their

effort to find and assimilate the small amount of nutrient value.

The good bacteria not only aid in nutrient assimilation, they provide the balance against the bad

bacteria. This balance is quickly upset when your dog eats tainted food, or a bacteria laden

morsel. Heat and just the slightest bit of moisture (humidity) can quickly contaminate an open bag

of dry dog food.

If you pay attention to your dog, you can see the early warning signs, which may include loss of

energy, bad gas, bad breath, itchy skin, constipation, bouts of diarrhea or vomiting, and loss of

appetite. These are quickly resolved with just a doses of probiotic supplements, and prevented

with daily use. Prevention saves you money in the long run.

Chronic health problems develop when the bad bacteria maintain the upper hand in the GI tract

over a long period of time.

The Ultimate Probiotic

Some 25 years ago, researchers noticed that feral animals not only ate grass, but pulled at thegrass. Delving into why, they discovered that the dirt surrounding the root structure of grasses

from organic soils were teaming with microflora and bacteria that had a probiotic effect in the GI

tract.

Appropriately, these microorganisms were collectively named Soil Based Organisms (SBOs).

Let Them Eat Dirt

It seems like the simple solution would be to let your dog eat grass. Most domestic dogs live inenvironments that do not provide these essential digestive aids. Lawns, and dog parks are treated

with inorganic pesticides, fertilizers, and chlorine from municipal water. These chemicals kill SBOs.

SBOs vs Antibiotics

Doctors know that antibiotics are toxic chemicals that kill off both the good and bad bacteria, and

yet they neglect to use probiotic treatments! If this is not bad enough, the side effects of antibiotic

treatment to your dog are the equivalent of being kicked in the groin.

Probiotics are live organisms natural to the digestive system. SBOs are scientifically proven to

resolve GI disorders and are essential to maintain intestinal balance. Since GI disorders develop

as a result of bad bacteria overwhelming good (probiotic) bacteria, the first course of action should

be to restore the balance by administering SBOs.


3/4

A few doses of SBOs will quickly dispatch most cases of GI upset before you could be seen by a

vet. Plus, when administering SBOs there is no need to withhold food or water!

Where can you get SBOs?

SBOs are not a prescription medication. They are available on line, in a few select pet stores, andfrom holistic vets.

Culturing SBOs requires laboratory controlled conditions, using strict scientific protocols. Much like

fermenting the finest beer or wine, the SBO culturing process cannot be rushed.

While just about any SBO formula will be beneficial, brands that consist of a variety of active SBO

strains are more likely to quickly restore proper GI balance.

CAUTION: Things Can Go From Better to Worse- Temporarily!

As mentioned earlier, commercial pet food is hard to break down and digest. Consequently, it

moves slowly through the intestines. Most likely some fecal plaque has adhered to your dogs

intestinal walls. Once it gets a toehold, it thickens over time. Even fairly young animals can

experience some blockage as a result of this build up.

Regular administration of SBOs will slowly begin to dissolve the fecal matter. During this

clearing/cleansing process, pathogens and microbes that were covered up with layers of fecal

matter will be exposed and can cause episodes of diarrhea or vomiting. Depending on the buildup,

it may take a few months before it is completely removed.

During this time you are likely to see your dog reach new plateaus of happiness and energy. It can

overwhelm them until they adjust.

Most cases of diarrhea or vomiting are the result of long-term food choices that are not probiotic

friendly, or gulping down a pathogenic laden morsel. If you administer SBOs and your dog does

not show noticeable improvement within 12 hours, take them to the vet immediately!
