Environmental allergens, chemical pollutants, pesticides, allergies and nervous disorders cause internal and external stress for dogs. Enzymes and probiotics can treat existing conditions and prevent the onset of future discomfort by providing an increased defense against irritants and bad bacteria in canines.

Significance
-
As dogs age, the rate at which the digestive system metabolizes food decreases, causing nutrient deficiencies that can lead to low activity levels, intestinal problems, and decreased immunity.
Function
-
Enzymes and probiotics can be added to a dog's diet or given as supplements, promoting the growth of helpful bacteria that aids in digestion, fights infection, and improves skin and coat health.
Effects
-
Digestive enzymes such as Amylase, Protease and Lipase assist in the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, helping dogs absorb nutrients needed for a healthy gastrointestinal tract and increased energy.
Considerations
-
Probiotics with blends of Acidophilus and Lactobacillus provide a dog with an influx of good bacteria to combat harmful bacteria that may result from antibiotic side effects, allergies or infection.
Benefits
-
Enzymes and probiotics boost canine immunity, defending a dog from parasitic, bacterial and fungal infections that can lead to disorders including infectious dermatitis, mange and yeast infections.
