Intestinal health in dogs and cats: Why it is so important

🐾 Gut feeling: Why intestinal health is so important in animals

A healthy gut is much more than just a digestive issue for dogs and cats—it influences their overall well-being. Just like in humans, the gut plays an important role in our four-legged friends' daily lives.

🌿 Why the intestine is so important

A multitude of microorganisms live in the intestines, forming what's known as the intestinal flora. These microorganisms are involved in nutrient utilization and can influence the overall balance in the body. If the intestinal flora becomes unbalanced, it can also affect energy levels, behavior, or food intake.

🐕🐈 What you can do for your gut health

A balanced diet is the most important building block. Regular exercise, sufficient rest periods, and a stress-free daily routine also have a positive effect on the intestines. Pay attention to your pet's behavior – appetite, activity, and stool consistency can provide initial clues as to whether your pet is feeling well.

💡 Small rituals make the difference

The gut loves routine. Regular feeding times, a familiar daily routine, and avoiding hasty food changes can help keep digestion stable. Small, natural rewards can also be easily integrated into the daily routine – they strengthen the bond and bring joy.
