Periodontal health, which includes teeth and gums, can fluctuate throughout your dog’s life. When your dog’s periodontal health is solid and looked after, various other parts of […]
Probiotics for dogs are supplements that introduce live, healthy microorganisms to enrich and fortify your dog’s natural gut flora. Your dog’s gut microbiome naturally carries trillions (yes, with a “t”!) of these same microorganisms.
