In this informative episode of The Weekly Wag, we explore the fascinating world of canine gut health and uncover the powerful benefits of probiotics for dogs. Specifically, we take a deep dive into a recent peer-reviewed study published in Frontiers in Microbiology that investigates the effects of Limosilactobacillus fermentum, a unique probiotic strain, on dog gut microbiota and immune function.
Whether you’re a pet parent, vet tech, or just passionate about holistic pet care, this episode breaks down the science behind how probiotics work, what makes L. fermentum stand out, and how it may improve your dog’s digestion, reduce inflammation, and support a healthier immune response—especially during dietary transitions.
Join us as we translate the latest veterinary research into practical tips you can use to support your dog’s gut health naturally. We also touch on the difference between probiotics and prebiotics, why gut balance matters, and how to choose the right supplement for your furry friend.
Key topics covered:
* What is Limosilactobacillus fermentum and why it matters for dogs
* How probiotics impact digestion, stool quality, and immune regulation
* What to look for in a quality dog probiotic
* Tips for supporting gut health during diet changes
