"Probiotics
Probiotics provide healthy bacteria for the digestive tract which helps
facilitate digestion and also allows animals to get maximum nutrition
from their food. In addition any unhealthy or pathogenic bacteria can be
displaced by the beneficial and helps to keep the digestive tract of
your pet healthy.

After years of hard to digest, commercial pet foods, many cats have
difficulty adapting to diet changes. In addition, when prey animals are
ingested, digestive secretions containing enzymes are also ingested by
the predator.

Dr Gardner commented, "Even high quality organic food is not nutrient
rich as in the past and the enzymes help them utilize the diet to the
fullest extent, and enzymes in general are helpful for health conditions
such as IBD. A lot of cats come to the raw diet with existing health
issues and this helps with the transition as well, since their health is
already compromised."


With Dr Russell Swift's special blend of probiotics and enzymes, we
choose L-Sporogenes (NON DAIRY) as our probiotic choice because it
resists the action of antibiotic and digestive juices. It is a very
strong, hardy, robust "friendly" intestinal flora, classified by the
USDA as a Probiotic.

Probiotic means "For life."

L Sporogenes is the strongest probiotic on the market that works to
relieve;
diarrhea, constipation, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, intestinal
infections, malabsorption of nutrients, vitamin K deficiency, slowing of
digestion, food sensitivities, parasite infections, leaky gut syndrome,
food allergies, Candidiasis with its multiple symptoms, and Candida
Albicans or Yeast. The main drawback with other popular Probiotics on
the market today, such as Acidophilus, is that the bacteria are in a
vegetative (alive) state. One function of an animal's stomach acid is
for prevention of disease; it is designed to KILL ANY LIVING ORGANISMS!

Another function of the stomach's acids is to break down proteins.
Bacteria are made up of proteins. Therefore, the bacteria, being
protein, is broken down and digested before they are able to reach the
intestines. However, L. Sporogenes, being in a non-protein shell, can
survive the acids of the stomach, pass-through, like roughage, and enter
the intestines where the right pH factor is reached. The bacteria then
breaks out from the non-protein shell and swims away to produce L(+)
Lactic acid that is better metabolized than the D(-) Lactic acid
produced by Acidophilus.

L. Sporogenes, because it is dormant, does not need to be refrigerated.

L. Sporogenes is the only Probiotic on the market that can be taken
during antibiotic treatment.


Enzymes
Enzymes naturally promote improved digestion in the stomach and
intestines. Our enzymes are specially formulated to help a carnivore
dissolve raw meat diets into easily absorbable nutrients, while
improving your pets' ability to assimilate vital nutrients from the raw
diet."

interesting, will save for future reference, lucky for me right now everyone
is doing well on the k/d with supplements fot three of them, Lee

Whilst that is good, probiotic supps provide more and are better if the
animal or person has stomach problems. Some animals would also be
allergic to lactose. But if they aren't and they have no stomach
problems then the yoghurt can be a good thing. If it ain't broken don't
fix it

I tried giving Maui yogurt but she puked it. The vet said cats shouldn't
have it.

Cats drink milk, why not yoghurt? Did the vet say why?

Because they shouldn't have dairy. Cats do not drink milk. Or should not.
I don't know why there are all those stories about cats drinking it. The
only milk a cat should have besides mother's milk is the stuff made for cats
like Cat Sip.

Maui could eat some kinds of dairy cat treats but others she would puke.
Bali and Jazzy do not like any form of dairy at all.

My brother has always owned Burmese and I know that lactose intolerance
is common with Burmese but I have never heard of no milk for cats
otherwise.

two of mine won't touch dairy, and two others will hurt you to get it, Lee
