Healthy on the inside, radiant on the outside.

An ideal and tasty addition to your dog or cat's daily food.

The gut is essential to the health of your dog or cat. A balanced gut flora ensures that your pet feels good both inside and out. The BF® Probiotic tablets contain billions of gut-friendly bacteria and are fully tailored to the body of your dog and/or cat. This tasty supplement combines pro- and prebiotics to promote and maintain gut balance. It supports the gut, skin, coat, bowel movements, immune system and overall health of your pet. Suitable for all dog and cat breeds and all ages.

Enterococcus faecium and Bacillus velezensis
The gut-friendly bacteria Enterococcus faecium and Bacillus velezensis restore the balance of your dog or cat's gut flora. Both strains are officially approved in the EU as zootechnical additives (category "gut flora stabilisers") and both survive stomach acid. They create an environment in which good bacteria, such as lactic acid bacteria, thrive and harmful bacteria, such as Streptococci and Salmonella, are displaced. 

Enterococcus faecium: contains coating (protective layer), reasonably stomach acid-resistant, always alive, vegetative (not sporulating), active directly in the small and large intestine  
Bacillus velezensis: spore-former, survives stomach acid almost 100%, endospores, only becomes active in the small intestine (after germination). 

In short: Bacillus velezensis is a "sleeping" spore that only wakes up in the gut; Enterococcus faecium is already awake and fights its way through the stomach. An ideal combination that complements each other. And so they are both in our probiotic tablets for dogs and cats.  

Our probiotic tablets also contain both probiotics and prebiotics:
Probiotics are live microorganisms that support the bacteria in the gut flora.
Prebiotics are another food source for these good bacteria.

Our BF® Probiotic tablets contain, among others:
Probiotics: Enterococcus faecium DSM 10663/NCIMB 10415 and Bacillus velezensis DSM 15544, gut flora stabilisers, gut-friendly bacteria that survive the entire gastrointestinal tract. Both gut-friendly bacteria are registered with the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), which guarantees a safe and high-quality product for your pet.
Mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS): prebiotic fibres derived from the cell walls of Saccharomyces Cerevisie, with prebiotic and immune-stimulating properties. They positively modulate the gut flora and promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.
Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS): prebiotic fibres that promote the growth of friendly gut bacteria and can contribute to healthy digestion and the overall health of your dog and/or cat.
Inulin: prebiotics that promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut.
Psyllium (flaxseed): promotes regular bowel movements thanks to its ability to absorb water and form a gel-like mass.
Matricaria recutita extract (chamomile extract): supports the stomach and intestines and digestion.
Yeast (prebiotic): yeast with deactivated cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (non-living microorganisms), enriched with vitamins and nutrients.

For all dog and cat breeds and all ages.

Why probiotics can also be interesting?
Both deworming agents (ask your veterinarian) and/or Giardia itself can cause damage to the intestinal wall and disrupt the gut flora. For this reason, animals that have ever had Giardia in their life often remain sensitive to the gastrointestinal tract for life. Our BF® Probiotic products, liquid, tablet or bonbon, offer the necessary support for this.

Probiotics can help dogs and cats with a food allergy, as they can strengthen the immune system and balance the gut flora, thereby increasing resistance to allergens. This can reduce allergic symptoms. However, it may take some time before an effect is noticeable (3-8 weeks), and not every probiotic works for every dog and/or cat.

Research shows that probiotic bacteria have positive effects on the health of dogs that eat calorie-rich food. More information: Study explores role of gut bacteria in development of obesity in dogs | PetfoodIndustry    

Please note: To obtain approval from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), a raw material, in this case a bacterium (probiotic), must meet certain criteria for safety and effectiveness. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) protects consumers, animals and the environment by providing independent scientific advice on risks in the food chain. At the moment, there are only a few probiotics that have been approved by the European Union Register of Feed Additives (EFSA) as gut flora stabilisers for pets, including our Bacillus velezensis DSM 15544 and Enterococcus faecium DSM 10663/NCIMB 10415. Studies confirm that both bacteria have a proven beneficial effect on four-legged animals. Research in dogs and cats in animal shelters (an environment with a lot of acute stress) showed that the administration of E. faecium NCIMB 10415 significantly reduced the incidence and duration of acute diarrhoea and lowered the pH value in the intestines: the bacterium produces lactic acid, which lowers the pH value in the intestines. This inhibits the growth of pathogenic (disease-causing) bacteria such as Salmonella and Escherichia coli. Bacillus velezensis DSM 15544 is very useful in the diet of four-legged animals that quickly suffer from a sensitive or disturbed digestion or loose stools. With our probiotic products, whose bacteria are registered in the EU with the European Food Safety Authority, abbreviated EFSA, you choose a safe and good probiotic product for your pet.
