Product Info - Probiotic Pro

Probiotic Pro w/Digestive Enzymes, Prebiotics and Herbs – Krill Flavor


Benefits/Product Highlights: 


Real Probiotics, Actual Benefits: Unlike the vast majority of industry using vegetative bacteria of Lactobacillus, Enterococcus, and Bifidobacterium strains that are quite susceptible to heat, cold, stress and other environmental factors including the stomach acidity itself, we use the two most effective spore forming Bacillus strains that are highly resistant to any such conditions while also having immunostimulatory effect which serves to exclude the colonization of the gut by harmful pathogens. 

 

Digestive Enzymes: Several different enzymes to boost the digestion and metabolism of nutrients.

 

Herbs: A powerful combination of Ayurvedic and other unique herbs to maintain the overall health and vitality of your pet.

 

Prebiotics: Several different prebiotics to create a highly conducive environment for the probiotics to grow, multiply and thrive well in the digestive system.


Non-China: No ingredients of Chinese origin. No need to fall for Chinese-made dog probiotics or those with sugar, grain, maltodextrins or even "animal digest" as the base.


Non-GMO: No GMO ingredients.

No artificial flavor, color, preservative, or chemicals.


Other relevant info that may need to be included:


Delivery: Easily dispensable powder eliminating choking risk - No need to worry about the pill pockets or forcing huge tablets down the throat of your own family member. Just pour it over the meal and make your pup maintain the health and vigor every day, albeit quietly.


Flavors: Two yummy flavors; one with real krill powder (none of the other probiotics contain it) to provide a huge boost to the antioxidant capacity from astaxanthin content and the other with natural duck.


Small batch production: Manufactured in PA, we always use small batches, so the product remains fresh until it reaches the tummy. 


Satisfaction Guarantee: 100%, all the time. No need to even send the unused portion.
