Probiotics are supplements composed mostly of bacteria that recently have gained considerable attention in veterinary medicine. Although many types of harmful bacteria exist, some species of bacteria, in the correct place in the digestive system, in the right amount, potentially can boost health and intestinal functioning according to the findings of some veterinarians and animal owners.   

As supplements, probiotics are not regulated as tightly as pharmaceuticals. Talk with your veterinarian to determine if probiotics might be right for your animal.
