- Urinary tract health

Pumpkin fibre is a natural source of soluble fibre, which helps regulate stool consistency. L-Glutamine is an amino acid that supports the gut lining.
FloraMax™ uses minimal hypoallergenic ingredients, formulated for pets with sensitive digestion.
How do I know if my pet needs probiotics?
Your pet may need a probiotic if it shows any of seven common signs: recurring digestive issues, recent antibiotic use, yeast overgrowth symptoms, stress from travel or boarding, a recent diet change, weakened immune system, or skin problems linked to gut imbalance.
Probiotics are beneficial bacteria crucial in maintaining digestive tract health and supporting healthy immune responses. Here are seven common signs and situations that may indicate your pet could benefit from a probiotic supplement like FloraMax for cats and dogs:
1. Digestive Issues:
Digestive issues: recurring diarrhoea, constipation, flatulence or vomiting can indicate an imbalanced gut flora. A probiotic is formulated to help promote healthy gut bacteria and support a return to balance.
2. Veterinary Antibiotics:
When pets undergo antibiotic treatment, it's important to consider the impact on their digestive health. Antibiotics, while effective against harmful bacteria, can also affect the natural balance of gut microbiota by impacting friendly bacteria. Adding probiotics to your pet's daily routine during and after treatment can be beneficial and prevent digestive issues, intestinal inflammation, allergic reactions and urinary tract infections while promoting healthy immune responses. Cat and dog probiotics, like NutriFlex FloraMax, are designed to help replenish and support the population of beneficial gut bacteria in the digestive tract. For maximum effectiveness, it's recommended to administer NutriFlex FloraMax probiotics to your cats and dogs at least two hours before or after the antibiotic treatment. This timing helps ensure that the probiotics can work effectively without being affected by the medication.
3. Yeast Overgrowth:
Yeast infections and overgrowth, typically caused by Candida, is a common culprit behind foul-smelling dogs. An imbalance of gut microbes in your dog's gut can manifest as bad breath and unpleasant body odour, indicating the need to address their gastrointestinal health. Restoring a balanced gut microbiome with healthy bacteria can help improve your dog's overall well-being.
As food decays in the digestive system, sulfur and sulfites accumulate, leading to foul breath and foul-smelling stools. To tackle these issues, it's crucial to maintain a healthy gut environment for your pet, promoting proper digestion and preventing the buildup of undesirable compounds. By supporting your dog's gut health with FloraMax probiotics, you can alleviate bad breath, body odour and other symptoms associated with bacterial imbalances and yeast overgrowth.
4. Stressful Events:
Situations such as moving, travelling, or boarding can induce stress even in healthy dogs and cats, negatively impacting their intestinal health and compromising your cat or dog's immune system. Natural probiotic products can help maintain gut balance, supporting healthy digestion and the well-being of our companion animals during these challenging times.
5. Dietary Changes:
A sudden change in your pet's diet can cause temporary digestive upsets. Probiotic dietary supplements can help ease the transition and promote a balanced gut microbiome.
6. Weak Immune System:
If your pet is older, sick, or always stressed, high-quality probiotics added to your cat or dog's diet can boost immune support.
7. Skin Problems:
An imbalanced gut can sometimes manifest as skin issues, such as itching, excessive shedding, or hot spots. Probiotics can help address the root cause by promoting a healthy gut microbiome.
Choose The Right Probiotic: The Power Of Prebiotics
Probiotics and prebiotics work together: probiotics are beneficial bacteria and prebiotics are the soluble, indigestible fibres that feed them. A probiotic supplement without prebiotics has less to work with in the gut.
Unfortunately, many probiotic supplements available in the market overlook the inclusion of these vital prebiotics. This omission can diminish their effectiveness, potentially causing your pet to excrete them without reaping the full benefits.
When selecting a probiotic supplement for your furry friend, it's essential to opt for one that contains prebiotics, such as NutriFlex FloraMax, or is crafted with prebiotic-rich ingredients. Look for natural prebiotics like dandelion, burdock, larch arabinogalactan (from the larch tree), and inulin (derived from chicory root). These components provide nourishment for beneficial gut bacteria and enhance probiotics' effectiveness, ensuring optimal gut health for your cherished pet.
