A Happy Pet Needs a Healthy Tummy. Probiotic Supplements are Essential.

In this article, Bimini’s dosage-form pet health supplements are intended to provide non-nutritional structure and/or function benefits and are not classified under the food category. Bimini’s treats provide nutritional value with supported nutritional claims.

Human-grade supplements for pets have become increasingly popular in recent years, as pet owners have become more aware of the importance of good nutrition for their pets. These supplements can be used to support healthy dogs and cats in various categories, such as joint health, digestive health, immune system support, and skin and coat health.

What are Probiotics?

Probiotics are live microorganisms that can help maintain a healthy gut. Through the metabolites that they produce in the gut, probiotics support the healthy function of other organs in the body including the skin and glands. Probiotic supplements often lead to better stool quality, which can help reduce anal gland blockage. Also, probiotics can strengthen your pet’s urinary tract and kidneys, resistance to illness, production of hormones, skin quality and brain health. 

Probiotic supplements are an easy and excellent way to provide your dogs and cats beneficial bacteria that can help improve their overall health.

Gut Reactions

Hippocrates, the famous physician of ancient Greece, said “All disease begins in the gut.” While the classic father of medicine was referring to humans, the same can be said of dogs and cats. More than 2,000 years after the time of Hippocrates, modern science confirms that imbalances in the gut microbiome, which consists of trillions of microorganisms residing in the gastrointestinal tract, can create or lead to inflammation and many types of disease. The majority of the immune system of a human, dog or cat operates in the gut. Without a healthy digestive tract, a pet will not feel its best, and its owner could be faced with costly and stressful pet health problems.

Good Enough for You, But Made Specifically for Your Pets

Bimini Pet Health produces a variety of probiotic supplements specifically formulated for dogs and cats. All Bimini products whether soft chews, powders or any other form are made to human grade standards, including those made with animal-specific bacteria. Many of Bimini’s probiotic products are made with species-specific bacteria, meaning that dogs get bacterial strains isolated from healthy dogs, and cat supplements are made with probiotic bacteria from healthy cats. Those bacterial strains, although isolated from healthy dogs and cats, are subsequently grown under conditions that are the same as human probiotics grown for human consumption. 

What Makes Bimini Probiotic Supplements Different?

Bimini’s probiotics are formulated into soft chews that are cold-extruded and never subjected to the extreme heat and pressure widely used in the pet food industry that can kill beneficial bacteria. Our probiotics for dogs and cats come in the form of soft chews and powders.

All Bimini products are human grade, compliant with 21 CFR Part 117. Every ingredient and the resulting product are stored, handled, processed and transported consistently with applicable federal laws. Bimini’s dosage-form pet health supplements contain no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.
