Puppy Culture Potluck: Ep39 - Yeast-Based Probiotic Supplements for Brood Bitches: When They Make Sense and When They Don't
from Madcap Radio · host Madcap Radio
One of our fans wrote to me recently about a webinar she attended on the veterinary use of probiotics: "The thing that intrigued me was…a study where one group of pregnant bitches was on a yeast-based probiotic, and the control group on no probiotic. There were benefits to both bitches and puppies, such as more stable GI tract and stool quality during whelping in the mothers on the probiotic, and they were less likely to have puppies of low birth weight. I know Jane works a lot at supporting the gut biome, but interesting info about a specific yeast and a specific time." This podcast untangles: The difference between yeast and bacteria-based probiotics How yeast-based probiotic supplements might help or harm a pregnant bitch, depending on the context How to decide if a yeast or other probiotic is appropriate for your pregnant dam Visit our website www.madcapradio.com for further reading.
