Acidophilus for Dogs – The Miracle Cure Explained

If you’ve ever listened to me on the radio, you’ll have heard me talk about acidophilus. The name isn’t the easiest to remember — I often find myself spelling it out for listeners!

Why? Because acidophilus is the number one supplement I recommend. It helps, and often cures, a huge range of conditions. For both people and dogs, it can truly be a magical, life-changing supplement.

The Benefits of Acidophilus for Dogs

If you think I’m exaggerating, just look at some of the many benefits:

🐶 Creates a healthy digestive system
🐶 Stops and prevents diarrhoea
🐶 Helps with yeast infections and urinary tract infections
🐶 Stops unpleasant wind and smelly stools
🐶 Improves bad breath caused by poor digestion
🐶 Relieves muscular and arthritic pain
🐶 Reduces shedding and scratching linked to stress and digestion issues
🐶 Replenishes good bacteria destroyed by antibiotics, anti-fungals or wormers
🐶 Improves your dog’s immune system

What Is Acidophilus?

Acidophilus is a probiotic — part of a group of beneficial intestinal bacteria called lactobacilli.

From birth, L. acidophilus is present in the intestines, later joined by L. bifidus. These are two of the most important of the 400+ species of bacteria in the digestive tract.

They help maintain a healthy balance of gut flora, support the digestive system, and play a vital role in the immune system. The “good” bacteria benefit both humans and dogs, assisting in overall health and wellbeing.

Is Acidophilus Safe for Dogs?

Yes! Acidophilus for dogs is natural, safe, and free from side effects.

🐾 It’s available specifically for dogs, often as a powder or capsule.
🐾 It’s flavourless — simply sprinkle onto food and most dogs won’t even notice it’s there.
🐾 For dogs who are lactose intolerant, it’s an ideal alternative to natural yoghurt (which also contains live cultures).
