Sharrets Pre & Probiotics for Pets

Sharrets Pre & Probiotics for Pets – 30 Billion CFU Veggie Capsules

Sharrets Pre & Probiotics for Pets delivers 30 billion CFU of probiotic cultures with 80 mg of fructo-oligosaccharides in a vegan HPMC capsule, and the pack is explicit that it is for veterinary use, not for human or medicinal use. What separates it from most pet probiotics is that the strains are named and numbered rather than described generically. Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM, Lactobacillus paracasei Lpc-37, Bifidobacterium lactis Bi-07 and Bifidobacterium lactis Bl-04 are documented, characterised strains – and strain identity genuinely matters in probiotics, because two isolates of the same species can behave completely differently in the gut. The formula is also unusually clean for an animal supplement: no egg, fish, dairy, crustacean, nuts, cereals, soy or sulphites, non-GMO and gluten-free, which matters for a dog already on an elimination diet for food allergy. Capsules can be given whole or opened over food. Bottle of 60 vegan capsules.
