ProSol Canine Probiotic

Billions of bacteria inhabit the dogs’ digestive tract and, collectively, these bacteria are referred to as the gut flora and are essential for the maintenance of gut health and optimal nutrient absorption. A healthy gut flora also plays an important role in immunity and prevention of certain diseases. Canine gut flora can be adversely affected by many factors, including stress, illness, parasitic infection, antimicrobial treatment and changes in diet. Protecting the balance of the gut flora, between beneficial and harmful bacteria, is vital for the wellbeing of your dog.
A probiotic is a solution which contains beneficial gut bacteria, most often commercially produced in liquid or powdered form. The IEC has been involved in gut flora research for the past 20 years and, through our extensive research, we have identified the beneficial bacteria which can be harvested from freshly cultured faeces to produce an autogenous liquid probiotic which contains beneficial bacteria harvested from your dog’s own faecal sample. Unlike commercial products, the beneficial bacteria in this autogenous probiotic are unique to your dog and can help to restore the balance of gut flora following any adverse events. This solution contains ONLY your dog’s own beneficial bacteria suspended in sterile water and NO other additives. Using ProSol over a period of 20 days we have seen improvements in the health and condition of dogs where a gut imbalance had previously been diagnosed.
Using cryopreservation, the IEC can store each dog’s beneficial bacteria in a secure bank for the duration of the dog’s life, providing a safety net for the owner. In the case of an adverse event in the gut, e.g. antibiotic treatment or parasitic infection, the IEC is able to retrieve the stored bacteria and quickly formulate a ProSol probiotic for your dog.
