Inside Story: Caring for Your Dog’s Gut

Your dog's digestive health can have a huge impact on his overall wellbeing. You’ve probably heard about the gut microbiome and how important the “good” bacteria are. But what’s the best way to care for your dog’s gut health and what should you look for in a decent digestive supplement?

A high-quality diet

This is so important – their daily meals should provide the right balance of nutrients either using a high-quality complete food or by creating your own at home. Good protein levels are key for growth and tissue development, as well as healthy fats from meat, fish or vegetables, complex carbohydrates for energy and the right balance of vitamins & minerals.

Beneficial bacteria

Probiotics are the “good” bacteria that help to keep everything in balance in your dog’s gut. He’ll have some naturally but topping these up using supplements like Digestive Aid for Dogs or certain foods like natural yoghurt can also be really helpful.

Exposure to bacteria in the environment

Diversity is important when it comes to gut bacteria, and the more your dog is exposed to the outdoors the more chance he’ll have of building up a really good mix, especially if he’s a fan of droppings and the like!

Feeding the good guys

These bacteria are a hungry lot, and prebiotics are the fuel they need to be big and strong. They help to create a welcoming environment so the good bacteria can thrive and help to prevent harmful bacteria being absorbed. A good digestive supplement should provide both probiotics and prebiotics, as well as other ingredients to support your dog’s health from the inside out.

Adding these into your dog’s diet is easy with Digestive Aid for Dogs from the nutrition experts at GWF Nutrition.
