Frequently Asked Questions - DogSuppy

Probiotics are active microorganisms that your dog ingests, adding beneficial bacteria to your four-legged friend's gu. Therefore, they are 100% safe. Occasionally, some mild cramps may occur during the first two days as the intestines adapt positively. This will resolve itself quickly.

Probiotics are good bacteria that, when given to dogs, support healthy gut flora. In this way we drive out bad bacteria, allowing good bacteria to predominate.

Probiotics are beneficial to dogs in several ways.

1. They help support healthy digestion by aiding nutrient absorption, boosting the immune system and helping with skin allergies.

2. DogSuppy has chosen to combine the probiotics with prebiotics, postbiotics and paraprobiotics in the same mixture.

In this way we also provide 'food' for the good bacteria.

The supplements are formulated with flavours that dogs love (based on meat). Your dog may need some time to get used to the supplement, so you can try dividing the daily amount into two portions. This may make it easier for your dog to adjust to the taste and texture over time.

DogSuppy combines 3 different strains of probiotics to create a powerful blend for your dog's health. Each Itch Relief Probiotic chew contains 3 billion CFU of Prebiotics and Probiotics—twice the amount found in most brands. This means a powerful boost of good bacteria and nourishment for the beneficial bacteria in your dog’s gut.

We consciously choose to combine Pro-, Pre-, Post-, and Parabiotics. This ennsures not only the addition of beneficial bacteria but also the food needed to nourish them. Additionally, we include ingredients like Pectins and Zinc to further support your dog's gut health. This unique formula has led to very satisfied dog owners!

This formula is calculated based on the weight of your dog. 1 chewy should be given per 10 kg body weight. To summarize:

< 10kg : 1 chewy per day

10 - 20kg : 2 chewies per day

20 - 30 kg : 3 chewies per day

> 30 kg : 4 chewies per day

The most common signs that your dog may need probiotics include scratching, bad breath, diarrhoea, constipation, flatulence, or vomiting. If any of these symptoms persist for more than three days, it often indicates an issue with their digestive system. Other potential causes could include sudden changes in food, separation anxiety, long-term use of antibiotics, or stressful experiences.

It's important to monitor what your dog eats and any changes in their environment. If you suspect your dog may need probiotics, it’s worth considering a solution.

In the short term (2 - 3 days) there will certainly be an effect, especially in terms of stool (which will be more consistent).

Other positive improvements such as more energy, nicer coat, fewer allergies... can certainly be seen after 1 week.

In addition, our products are produced in a GMP+ certified environment complies 100% with United Kingdom regulations.

Of course, antibiotics have their benefits in specific situations. However, it’s important to recognise the drawbacks of antibiotic use. Antibiotics not only eliminate harmful bacteria but also destroy the beneficial bacteria in the gut, which is why diarrhoea often follows a course of antibiotics. Additionally, frequent and unnecessary use of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance, making certain strains ineffective in the future—for both humans and animals. This is why it’s crucial to support gut health with probiotics before, during, and after antibiotic use.

No, it's best to store them in a cool, dry and dark place. Avoid direct sunlight.

It’s best to give it on an empty stomach whenever possible, as this allows the product to pass through the stomach and reach the gut more quickly. The longer it stays in the stomach, the fewer beneficial bacteria may survive the journey to the gut. Always ensure your dog has plenty of water.
