commonly used to prevent or treat various pathological conditions of the gastrointestinal system.<\/p>\n<p>The gastrointestinal system of dogs and cats, as well as that of humans, is populated by a large community of microorganisms that is called the <em>microbiota<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The gut microbiota is a complex ecosystem and is deputed to perform vital functions for the health of our four-legged friends.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Conosciamo-meglio-il-microbiota-intestinale\">Let&#8217;s learn more about the gut microbiota<\/h4>\n<p>This microbial population plays a crucial role in host health, influencing digestion, metabolism, and immune responses.<\/p>\n<p>In a healthy animal, the composition of the microbiota is characterized by a balanced microbial diversity, predominated by genus of bacteria such as Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria.<\/p>\n<p>These microorganisms work harmoniously together to maintain the integrity of the intestinal barrier, prevent the onset of disease, and modulate inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>However, the composition of the microbiota can alter, and when this happens, it is referred to as <strong><em>dysbiosis<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Cos-e-la-disbiosi-intestinale\">What is gut dysbiosis<\/h4>\n<p><em> Dysbiosis<\/em> is a state of altered composition of the gut microbiota, often associated with decreased bacterial diversity and increased pathogenic strains.<\/p>\n<p>This condition can be caused by a number of factors, including improper diet, stress, antibiotic use and disease.<\/p>\n<p>Clinical signs of dysbiosis in dogs and cats may include diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, and behavioral disturbances.<\/p>\n<p>It is often related to diseases, including colitis, enteropathy, and systemic diseases.<\/p>\n<p>Integrating <em>prebiotics<\/em> and <em>probiotics<\/em> into dog diets is a promising strategy to improve gut health and prevent dysbiosis.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Prebiotici-e-probiotici\">Prebiotics and probiotics<\/h4>\n<p>Prebiotics and probiotics are two categories of substances that can promote healthy gut microbiota.<\/p>\n<p>Prebiotics are nondigestible food compounds that stimulate the growth and activity of specific beneficial microorganisms in the colon, thereby promoting a favorable intestinal environment.<\/p>\n<p>Probiotics, on the other hand, are live microorganisms that, when administered in appropriate amounts, confer a beneficial effect on host health.<\/p>\n<p>In dogs and cats, <em>Lactobacillus<\/em>, <em>Bifidobacterium<\/em>, and <em>Enterococcus<\/em> strains are frequently used as probiotics.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Meccanismi-d-azione-dei-fermenti-lattici-per-gatti-e-cani\">Mechanisms of action of milk enzymes for cats and dogs<\/h4>\n<p>Milk enzymes exert their effects through various mechanisms of action.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main ones is the inhibition of pathogen growth through adhesion to intestinal mucosa.<\/p>\n<p>Probiotics improve gut acidity and inhibit the proliferation of harmful bacteria.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, probiotics can stimulate the local immune response by activating immune cells in the intestinal mucosa, increasing antibody production and modulating inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>During acute diarrhea, it is always good to administer probiotics, as they help to quickly restore the balance of the intestinal microbiota and reduce recovery time.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"I-benefici-dei-probiotici-nelle-forme-enteriche-di-cani-e-gatti\">The benefits of probiotics in enteric forms in dogs and cats<\/h4>\n<p>Probiotics speed recovery, promoting a rapid return to normal stool consistency, and helping to reduce the duration of diarrhea.<\/p>\n<p>This is especially important for dogs facing <strong>stressful situations or changes in diet.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For maximum benefits, it is essential to use products formulated exclusively for pets and to follow your veterinarian&#8217;s instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Human probiotics often contain strains that do not survive or are not effective in the intestines of dogs and cats.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Fermenti-lattici-per-cane-e-gatto-anziani\">Lactic ferments for elderly dog and cat<\/h4>\n<p>In young dogs and cats, the microbiota tends to be more diverse and stable; in contrast, in older animals, there is a decrease in microbial diversity and an increase in potentially pathogenic species.<\/p>\n<p>Precautions to be taken to maintain the health of the microbiota in older animals are critical.<\/p>\n<p>First, it is important to provide adequate and balanced nutrition.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, elderly cats and dogs may particularly benefit from taking probiotics to maintain the balance of gut flora physiologically deteriorated by age.<\/p>\n<p>Supplementing milk enzymes can help them improve digestion and increase nutrient absorption.<\/p>\n<p>Consulting with a veterinarian remains essential to identify personalized strategies that can address the specific needs of each animal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To have your dog or cat checked, for periodic check-ups and specialist visits, contact the veterinary doctors on our staff who are always available to you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We would also like to remind you that <a
