Is your dog or cat taking antibiotics?

The purpose of antibiotic treatment is to kill bacteria that cause infections. However antibiotics do not discriminate between 'bad' bacteria and 'good' bacteria, effectively killing all susceptible bacteria. As a result, the delicate balance of the digestive system is disturbed and the absence of good bacteria can result in poor digestion, diarrhoea, bloat and flatulence. PAW DigestiCare 60™ can help restore and maintain a healthy balance in the digestive tract by providing 'good' bacteria back to the gut for pets being treated with antibiotics.

Is your pet suffering diarrhoea or flatulence?

Gastro (gastroenteritis) in dogs is commonly caused by the 'bad' bacteria dominating the digestive tract resulting in diarrhoea, flatulence, bloating and poor general health. PAW DigestiCare 60™ provides good bacteria to the restore intestinal balance. PAW DigestiCare 60™ also provides key nutrients including essential amino acids, vitamins, fatty acids and enzymes to enhance your pet’s health and vitality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I feed PAW DigestiCare 60™ to my dog when it’s prescribed antibiotics?

The purpose of antibiotics treatment is to kill bacteria that cause infections. However, antibiotics do not discriminate between bad bacteria and good bacteria, effectively killing all susceptible bacteria. As a result, the delicate balance of the digestive system is disturbed and the absence of good bacteria can result in poor digestion, diarrhoea, bloat and flatulence. PAW DigestiCare 60™ restores and maintains a healthy balance in the digestive tract by providing viable good bacteria to the gut for pets being treated with antibiotics.

How long should I feed my dog PAW DigestiCare 60™ after using antibiotics?

For animals prescribed antibiotics, it is recommended that owners use the PAW DigestiCare 60™ for at least 4-6 weeks post antibiotic treatment. This is because it has been clinically proven to take several weeks to months post-antibiotics for your dog's digestive system to re-balance.

Should I feed PAW DigestiCare 60™ to a young animal?

It has been clinically proven that puppies have a healthier growth rate in their first 6 months of life when their diet is supplemented with Probiotics. This is to help the puppy to establish a good intestinal microflora, help digestion and improve their utilization of food. Therefore you should use PAW DigestiCare 60™ daily to help establish the good bacteria in your puppy’s digestive tract to ensure optimum health & growth.

Can I give ½ the recommended dose rate and will it be effective?

It is important to correctly dose the PAW DigestiCare 60™ to optimize the effect of providing the beneficial good bacteria and nutrients to your dog.

Could I give my pet yoghurt instead?

In short, yes as some yoghurt contains beneficial live bacteria. However, dogs are lactose intolerant and the quantity of yogurt you would need to give to benefit your pet would more than likely upset their stomach. It is recommended to use a non-dairy probiotic supplement.

What if my pet food already contains probiotics?

Most pet foods with digestive benefits actually contain prebiotics, not probiotics. A pet food with probiotics is good, however probiotics are sensitive to heat and moisture. The bacteria in the food may therefore be damaged or not live due to the heating and manufacturing processes. It is highly likely that the numbers of viable good bacteria provided will not be enough to see their beneficial properties.
