Nutribiotic for dogs, also known as grapefruit seed extract or GSE, is used for preventative care as well as to cure troubles. Nutribiotics come in a small white bottle and is a clear liquid made from the extracts of grapefruit flesh, seeds and peel. Nutribiotics, being all-natural, are not harmful to dogs or humans and have characteristics that make them good in many different applications. GSE is known for its antiviral, antifungal and anti-bacterial properties.

As a Preventative
-
GSE is a great preventative of many bacterial, fungal and viral concerns. Some dog owners put a drop or two into a water bowl to prevent the water bowl from growing bacteria. You can also put a few drops into a dog's mouth per day as a supplement, treating it as if it were a vitamin. Spraying a dog's hair with it helps to prevent skin from becoming fungal. Since it is an all-natural substance, it will not harm the dog in any way. GSE is an immune booster, making it so that fewer medications are needed and the animals can possibly live longer.
For Skin Care
-
If your dog is suffering from skin or fur conditions, nutribiotics are a great choice to help cure them. Spraying a diluted bottle of nutribiotic directly on the area will help to heal that area. After baths, continue to spray the pet with a diluted mixture and rub it in. It will keep the dog from bringing in fleas, it will take care of his skin, and it will be help heal any open wounds he may have. Once completely healed, the nutribiotic will continue to protect the area that was sore and irritated before.
Household Uses
-
There is not a better cleaner for your dog's space than nutribiotic. Again, the all-natural ingredients make it a great choice to clean anything that your dog may get into. Crates and toys are easily cleaned by spraying and wiping them down with the solution that you mixed together. You can spray and wipe any surface that the dog comes into contact without worry that it may harm your puppy.
Specific Conditions Nutribiotic Helps
-
For dogs with gastrointestinal problems, nutribiotic works well to kill any fungus, virus or bacteria that is causing the issue. Typically, one drop of nutribiotic per 10 pounds of dog is the recommended dosage. You can, however, give them this dosage two to three times per day. Since it is not chemical based, there are no side effects like an antibiotic would cause. For dogs prone to ear infections, a drop or two in the ears for a few days will cure any issues that the animal has.
Considerations
-
The benefits of GSE are many. There are no side effects, and it works in many different applications. Unfortunately, many companies now package GSE, or nutribiotic, and add in chemicals and preservatives that have properties all of their own. When looking for a nutribiotic for your dogs, look for the packaging that has the least amount of other ingredients added in. Many health food stores now carry nutribiotic since it is also beneficial to humans.
