Vet-formulated. Helps with gut, immune, and anxiety support
The gut or the digestive system is responsible for doing so much more than just digesting and processing the food our pets need. When it comes to a furkiddo’s health, gut feelings matter. You might have heard about probiotics and prebiotics for pets and how they are beneficial for digestive health, but what do these terms actually mean? Are they the same thing? Does your furkiddo need them both?
Understanding why they need them can make all the difference in the world
The very short answer is yes. However, understanding why they need them can make all the difference in the world, particularly when it comes not only to digestive health, but throughout the immune system and overall vitality.
So, what is the difference between probiotics and prebiotics, and how do they work in holistic harmony? How does adding them both to your fur kiddo’s routine help them thrive from the inside out?
Basically, probiotics can be defined as good bacteria. Also referred to as microbiome, these microscopic creatures are found in a furkiddo’s gut, and they are responsible for good digestion and keeping the immune system in top shape by creating vitamins and other important nutrients.
The most common types of probiotics are lactic acid-based, such as Bifidobacterium, Enterococcus, Lactobacillus spp, and Streptococcus. Each of these resides in its own area of the gut; Enterococcus lives in the colon and has a focus on colonic health while aiding in the formation of healthy feces, whereas Bifidobacterium can be found in the small intestine and aims to keep up with digestive health.
On the other hand, prebiotics are the food that the probiotic organism needs to stay alive. They are categorized as non-digestible dietary fibers commonly found in fruits and vegetables. They are very commonly used in the composition of pet food; however, it is not common to see them listed as prebiotics, but rather as soluble fibers, which are dietary fibers that can be broken down, fermented, and turned into food for probiotics. This is in contrast to insoluble fibers, which cannot be broken down and fermented, instead passing through as roughage. Therefore, prebiotics for pets are a necessary part of the probiotic equation.
A pet’s immune health is directly linked to its digestive health (as much as 80%). The beneficial probiotics keep the detrimental microorganisms at bay so that your furkiddo’s health is optimal. Several factors and conditions can lead to an imbalance in the bacterial environment, such as allergies, illness, age, stress, etc.
The harmful bacteria could affect your furkiddo’s digestion, and it can also affect their weight, hormones, mood, and susceptibility to infections. When probiotics in a furkiddo’s organism are not strong enough to keep those harmful microorganisms in check, a little furkiddo could experience wide-ranging symptoms such as:
Since our little furkiddos do not regularly ingest foods such as bananas, tomatoes, pumpkin, or steamed asparagus (to name a few examples), we have to provide them with a good supplemental probiotic to support their gut health. NHV Probiotics + Prebiotics could provide this needed support; as a 100% natural supplement, NHV Probiotics + Prebiotics contains no artificial additives, preservatives, or chemicals, so it’s safe for pet consumption. It uses plant-based prebiotics such as pumpkin and carrot powder, which include vitamins A, K, and C, along with minerals such as potassium, calcium, iron, and dietary fiber.
Some of the potential benefits of using probiotics in your furkiddo’s health are:
Far from acting just as food as probiotics, prebiotics are a health benefactor. Because prebiotics are not alive, they are much harder and can survive heat, cold, and stomach acids, so they are able to reach the intestines unharmed and work their healing magic. Some of their many benefits are:
Aside from NHV Probiotics + Prebiotics, NHV also offers other options to support a furkiddo’s GI microbiome. Supplements like NHV TumFlora help improve the intestinal flora and are a safe and proactive approach to a healthy gut. It contains chamomile and fennel, which could help expel gas and relax the stomach from spasms, and licorice, which supports good digestion and a sensation of general well-being. Another proactive support is NHV Yucca, which might be helpful to keep the gastrointestinal tract healthy, as it contains compounds that work on the intestinal membranes and help with the absorption of nutrients. On the other hand, NHV Multi Essentials may provide a nutritive support. NHV Multi Essentials may help pets with nutritional voids, aid in the digestion of nutrients that could keep the good flora in good health, and stimulate the metabolism.
Before giving your furkiddo NHV Probiotics + Prebiotics, please keep in mind the following things.
Your veterinarian is the best person to advise if your little one could benefit from the use of probiotics, depending on your little one’s condition. Some furkiddos with may not be ideal candidates for using probiotics, and, in rare cases, others could be allergic to something in the composition. Always read the ingredients list, and check with your vet or consult one of our NHV Pet Experts.
Be cautious with human foods. Some sweeteners and preservatives in yogurt with live cultures are unsafe for dogs and cats. Some furkiddos may be allergic to dairy or lactose intolerant, which can cause diarrhea or upset stomach. Certain probiotic products have coconut water instead of coconut milk. Coconut water contains high levels of potassium, which isn’t safe for dogs. Pets who eat a diet high in carbohydrates may not have healthy microbiomes. Changing your furkiddo’s food and adding more protein could help. You could seek a more personalized nutrition assessment, and the advice from a nutritional expert could go a long way.
At NHV, you can a customized nutrition plan session with Dr. Amanda to work on a more personalized, holistic approach to your furbaby’s dietary needs.
As probiotics are living organisms, exposure to air, temperature, and moisture extremes for long periods can kill the microbes and render them useless. They may need to be kept in the fridge once opened.
Your furkiddo’s GI is a living ecosystem, and the benefits of a balanced gut microbiome may take some time to appear. It can take a few days or weeks of daily use before you see the benefits.
With patience, consistency, care, and love, you’ll give their gut the gentle boost it needs
Supporting the balance of good bacteria through probiotics and prebiotics for pets is one of the kindest and most proactive things you can do for your furbaby’s well-being. This will not just be beneficial for their digestion, but for their immune response, their vitality, and even their emotional balance. While supplements like NHV Probiotics + Prebiotics for pets offer safe, organic, natural support, each pet is unique. Take the time to understand their individual and dietary needs. With patience, consistency, care, and love, you’ll give their gut the gentle boost it needs to thrive and live a long, healthy, happy life.

Is your furkiddo vomiting, having watery poops or is too tired to play? They may be suffering from a common gastrointestinal issue in dogs known as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD in dogs). NHV’s TumFlora is a unique vet formulation that contains 100% natural ingredients known to help improve intestinal flora, and helps reduce inflammation of the gut.
Is your furkiddo vomiting, having watery poops or is too tired to play? They may be suffering from a common gastrointestinal issue in dogs known as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD in dogs). NHV’s TumFlora is a unique vet formulation that contains 100% natural ingredients known to help improve intestinal flora, and helps reduce inflammation of the gut.
Like humans, Inflammatory or Irritable Bowel Disease, also known as IBD, is a common gastrointestinal problem in dogs. When your furbaby has IBD, inflammatory cells within their body begin to invade the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The stomach, small intestine, and large intestine are all part of the GI tract. Once inflammatory cells start to take over the GI tract, a thickening of the intestinal wall can occur, upsetting daily functions like absorption and the movement of food (peristalsis). There is no clear cause for IBD in dogs, but studies show that genetic and external factors can predispose your pet to have IBD. Some additional contributing factors may be chronic irritation of the intestines caused by constant vomiting and diarrhea, food allergies, parasites, and autoimmune disorders.
How TumFlora Supports GI Tract Health
TumFlora is a natural herbal vet formulation designed to help improve intestinal flora. In addition to helping improve intestinal flora, and helping with inflammation of the digestive tract, TumFlora contains herbs that are highly nutritious like slippery elm to further help your furbaby heal. Slippery elm is high in vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, B complex, C, K, calcium, magnesium and sodium. The gentle defense against microorganisms and anti-fungal properties of herbs like oregon grape aid the body to fight off infections. Finally, herbs like fennel and chamomile help to relieve stomach cramps and indigestion and help with overall discomfort.
This soothing liquid formulation is easy to administer and helps maintain a healthy gut. In addition to helping IBD in dogs, TumFlora is also useful for pets suffering from food allergies, gastrointestinal ulcers and bacterial, gut infections. TumFlora is also a great addition to your pet’s daily regimen as a proactive approach for a healthy gut.
Symptoms of IBD in dogs
Dogs will occasionally vomit or have diarrhea because something doesn’t sit right with their tummies, or maybe they ate too much or too little that day. But if your furkiddo begins to vomit and their poops are runny on a regular basis then it could be IBD. Keep your eye out for these additional symptoms:
Typically your vet will do a full-body exam, check your dog’s history, conduct a blood panel, take a stool sample, and possibly opt for x-rays and/or an ultrasound. IBD in dogs can be tough to diagnose because your vet will have to check for a variety of conditions as well as vital organ functions before they can confirm diagnosis. Other health conditions that have similar symptoms to IBD are GI parasites, kidney or liver disease, pancreatitis, cancer, or foreign substances and objects in the intestines. To confirm IBD, your vet may eventually conduct a biopsy on your pup's stomach and/or intestinal tract.
Additional Holistic Support for Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Dogs
A combination of vet-prescribed medication and nutritional therapy is often recommended to alleviate symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease. If your pet is prone to inflammatory bowel disease in dogs, changing your dog’s diet to a more gut-friendly one is recommended.

Symptoms of IBD in dogs
Dogs will occasionally vomit or have diarrhea because something doesn’t sit right with their tummies, or maybe they ate too much or too little that day. But if your furkiddo begins to vomit and their poops are runny on a regular basis then it could be IBD. Keep your eye out for these additional symptoms:
Typically your vet will do a full-body exam, check your dog’s history, conduct a blood panel, take a stool sample, and possibly opt for x-rays and/or an ultrasound. IBD in dogs can be tough to diagnose because your vet will have to check for a variety of conditions as well as vital organ functions before they can confirm diagnosis. Other health conditions that have similar symptoms to IBD are GI parasites, kidney or liver disease, pancreatitis, cancer, or foreign substances and objects in the intestines. To confirm IBD, your vet may eventually conduct a biopsy on your pup's stomach and/or intestinal tract.
