Your question.
Is there a difference between the intestinal flora in cats/dogs and in humans? What is the difference between Viyo Recuperation and yogurt (probiotics) or can we expect the same effect?
At the moment there are about 30 known varieties of the bifido-bacterium (the most known and main ingredient of the majority of human yogurt), and those in humans differ from those in animals. So we are talking about
host-specific bacteria. Where the number of bacteria is concerned, there are a lot less bacteria in animals than in humans. This results in a higher sensitivity of animals to diet changes as a result of the creation of specific flora in function of the diet. Therefore the best thing to do is to offer more than probiotics only to optimize the condition of the gut. We may conclude that the most important reason to use products that support the gut function is not only the fact that living bacteria (probiotics) play a role in a healthy gut condition (the same effect results from prebiotics) but that other nutrients stimulate the gut health: arginine, taurine, glutamine, essential fatty acids etc. In short, supporting a healthy gut requires more than probiotics only and a complete formulation offers a better support of the gut condition for pets.
