Description
In the last 10 years, there has been extensive progress made in understanding the clinical use of probiotics in dogs and cats. Additionally, there are multiple products sold around the world that are purported to contain probiotics with beneficial effects. However, there are still many unanswered questions concerning probiotic use in dogs and cats. In this webinar, Dr. Lappin will discuss the progression of work with probiotics and the gastrointestinal microbiome, focusing on products know to have good quality control and peer-reviewed publications support the efficacy of those probiotics. Emphasis will be placed on studies to control diarrhea but evidence for immune modulation and behavior modifying effects of some probiotics will also be discussed.
