As a proud dog owner, you naturally want nothing more than for your dog to be cheerful, healthy and full of energy. But did you know the secret to a happy dog is often in its belly? Time to talk about your best mate's gut health!
The secret to a happy tummy: teamwork in the gut
An awful lot goes on in your dog's belly. The gut actually consists of two important parts, each with its own essential 'superpower':
-
The small intestine (the absorption champion): This is where food is digested and the important nutrients are absorbed. A whopping 25% of the immune system is located here! Special gut cells act like little 'guard soldiers', strictly checking whether something is harmful to your dog. Fun fact: the small intestine even has its very own nervous system that communicates lightning-fast with the rest of the body.
-
The large intestine (the fibre cracker): This is where water and salt are absorbed. It's also home to a rich, essential gut flora. These billions of bacteria play a leading role in breaking down (fermenting) tough fibres that the small intestine couldn't digest.
If the balance in this ingenious system is thrown off, for example by stress, a change of food or medication, you'll soon notice it in the form of a sensitive stomach, wind or loose stools. Time for some extra support!
A little garden in the belly
Think of your dog's rich gut flora as a little garden in the large intestine. For that garden to bloom beautifully, it needs the right care. And that's exactly where our Probio Belly Snacks come in!
