Pre and probiotics work together in the gut to create a healthy environment and stop harmful bacteria from growing.

Prebiotics are the ‘support team’

They’re made with substances helpful for microbial growth in the gut. They don’t get digested, they just promote healthy bacterial growth.

Probiotics are the 'fighters'

They contain beneficial bacteria that work to eradicate 'bad' bacteria.

FAQs

Do prebiotics and probiotics help with dogs’ digestion?

They do! Prebiotics work in harmony with probiotics to support healthy guts and good digestion.

How do I know if my dog needs digestive support?

There are common things you can look out for that may indicate your pet may need digestive support. These include more wind, a change in stools and being quieter than usual. If this is the case, giving them something to help boost the good bacteria in the gut could help. Our blog, Does my dog need prebiotics? is packed with more useful advice and information. But, if you see these things over a long period of time or have any concerns, please talk to your vet.

When should I give digestive supplements to my dog?

Every pet is different, and your vet will be able to give you more specific advice. That said, it’s worth considering a long-term digestive supplement, such as YuMOVE Digestive Care Pre & Probiotic, if you notice your dog regularly has a sensitive tummy or excess wind. It’s also helpful to keep a supply of short-term digestive supplements, such as YuMOVE Digestive Care Rapid, in the cupboard in case your dog has a sudden bout of loose stools.

What are the potential benefits of using digestive supplements and are there any risks or side effects to be aware of?

YuMOVE Digestive Care Pre & Probiotic contains scientifically backed prebiotics and probiotics to maintain a healthy gut, helping pets with sensitive digestion have a good day every day. Our digestive supplements support a healthy gut environment, helping to reduce excess wind and keep stools firm. If you’re concerned about the side effects of digestive supplements, please talk to your vet.

Should I consult with a vet before giving my dog a digestive supplement?

Most cats and dogs can happily take a digestive supplement without seeing a vet. However, we do recommend that if you have any concerns, or if your pet has an on-going sensitive tummy, that you talk to your vet first

Can I give digestive supplements to my dog alongside their regular food?

Yes. The YuMOVE Digestive Care range is suitable to be given alongside your dog's regular food.

How long should I give digestive supplements to my dog

Different supplements can be given for different lengths of time. For example, YuMOVE Digestive Care Pre & Probiotic and YuMOVE Digestive Care Probiotic & Fibre are designed to offer ongoing support and can be given to your dog every day to support their digestive system.

Our YuMOVE Digestive Care Rapid paste, however, provides short-term digestive support for dogs with sudden loose stools and can be used for up to six days. If your pet’s stools are not firmer after this time, or if you have any concerns, we recommend seeking veterinary advice.

Why is my dog scooting?

This is a natural process where the small glands around their bottom release fluid, and it usually happens when they poo. However, if this fluid builds up, it can lead to scooting. Regular vet check-ups can help manage anal gland health alongside a diet rich in fibre. YuMOVE Digestive Care Probiotic & Fibre for Dogs is also specially designed to support the natural emptying of your dog’s anal glands and can help reduce scooting and licking.

How can I stop my dog from scooting?

Regular grooming and maintaining good hygiene around your dog’s bottom can help reduce the likelihood of scooting. High-fibre foods and supplements with fibre for dogs can also help support natural gland expression. If your dog’s anal glands do become blocked, a professional groomer or a veterinary nurse will be able to empty them.
