Dr Susanna's Thoughts

Trust Your Gut

During recent rainy days and weeks, flu and “gastric” problems hit many furkids with full force. Cool temperatures and high humidity allow germs to thrive. I notice the numbers of pets who feel unwell, sport a runny nose, teary eyes and or diarrhea and vomit, are skyrocketing.

If heading to the next vet clinic for a prescription of antibiotics and other drugs is not your cup of tea, but if you rather be proactive to sefl-help your pet become and stay well…. Here is the “holistic veterinary secret” of treating and preventing flu, “gastric problems” and worse.
 
Your most important ally to staying healthy and to heal is your immune system.
Compare it to a well-organized “police force” in the body, the vastest number of our “friendly helpers” are located in the gut.

So, to fight off flu symptoms, to heal a bad belly and even minimizing the chances of cancer to develop, trust your gut to help protect and save you and your pet.
Supporting the immune force doesn’t have to be complicated, expensive or “difficult”. Just remember 3 steps, and you and your pet may forget how your vet clinic looks from inside…
 
Number one and daily “to do”... feed fresh, natural, complete food.  The “tools to fight a fair fight” against bacteria, virus and other troublemakers come from the food you provide for your pet’s body and gut.
The gut houses bacteria. All of them form 70% of the body’s immune force. Daily food can boost your pet’s gut bacteria and help the gut to thrive – or feed disease and weaken the “gut police force”.  
 
That’s where “prebiotics” enter the game. Prebiotic describes a group of substances that are necessary to feed the “gut police force”. If you already started feeding balanced and wholesome fresh food like FeedLOVE meals, don’t bother with prebiotics. Balanced holistic fresh food provides ample nutrition of body and gut bacteria, supporting your pet’s protective immune gut force.
 
Processed foods (food from bags and cans) leave the “gut force” vulnerable. Antibiotics, not able to distinguish between good and bad guys in bacterial form, weaken the gut immune system further.

To start treating your pet naturally, invest into a good quality probiotic supplement. For the first 3 months, such supplements provide support for numbers and variety of gut bacteria and subsequently “boost” your pet’s gut police force.

Take note, only supplements with a dozen different bacteria strains, numbering billions, boost effectively your pet's “gut force”. 

How is your chosen probiotic packaged? The “gut fighters” in your supplement may only survive your pet’s stomach and body fluids  hiding out inside their protective capsule. To help probiotics arrive at their “police station” alive, don't remove the capsule if your probiotic is in capsules. Should a capsule be too big for your pet, go out and find a liquid or powder-formulated probiotic supplement!
 
Good health and fast healing start with a balanced, “alive” gut police force.
“Trust your gut” to fight and win against bacteria, virus and fungi in the body, so your pet’s nose, eyes, appetite and poop heal and stay well, during and after this rainy season.
