Types of Probiotics for Cats

 

Studies show that probiotics are essential to maintaining a cat’s healthy digestive system. In addition, studies have proven that probiotics may also aid in:

●Minimizing the signs and symptoms of diarrhea and constipation

●Fast healing from diarrhea

●Provide benefit to cats with kidney issues

●Regulate blood sugar of diabetic cats

It is important to provide the best type of probiotics to a cat. While there are many options available, there are specific types that work only with a certain condition. Some probiotics are intended to maintain an overall healthy digestive system, while some are meant to be used as medication. Examples are probiotics with anti-inflammatory properties which helps in treating diseases related to the digestive tract.

It is also important to note that probiotics come in different forms. The following are the most common forms of probiotics for cats:

●Powdered supplement added to the cat’s food

●Capsule

●Candy or chewable treat

●Probiotic-infused cat food

Do consult your veterinarian Dawsonville, GA before starting your pet on any supplement. 

Some Measures To Keep Your Pet Comfortable During A Storm

 

We're not the only ones who feel restless when a storm happens. Our animals feel the same -- it's just that they can't tell you directly how stressed they are. So it's up to us to observe their behavior and take action when needed.

If there is a quiet room in the house, stay there with all of your pets. That should muffle the banging and the wind noises coming from outside. You can even turn on the radio so that there is enough static noise to drown out everything else. It would also help to give your pet something to entertain them.

Also, consider that if you evacuate to a shelter, your pet might not be allowed to come in. Enter the services of emergency boarding facilities. After receiving the warning of a coming storm, you can leave your pet at one of their facilities. Just don't forget the basics like their identification and your contact info. If your pet has a microchip, so much the better.

If you have any questions and/or concerns about inserting a microchip on your pet, don’t hesitate to ask your veterinarian Dawsonville, GA about them.  Read more here.
