Supporting Rescue Pets with Better Gut Health | NHV x BC SPCA

NHV Gives Back 3 min read

If your fur kiddo is a rescue, then you know a very special kind of love. Thanks to you, your pet has a happy home, a warm bed, and a full belly. And in their own way, they share their loving gratitude to you with face kisses and happy purrs.

Those happy moments are possible thanks to rescues like the BC SPCA. The BC SPCA advocates against cruelty towards animals and houses countless pets in over 30 animal shelters across British Columbia.

Recently, the NHV Founder and President, Patra De Silva, and her team visited the BC SPCA with a case of NHV Probiotic + Prebiotic for all the shelter pets living there!

Meeting the BC SPCA Team

We were greeted by Jodi Dunlop, manager of the Vancouver BC SPCA branch, who was excited to receive this donation. As a non-profit charity, the BC SPCA relies on donations to help keep things running smoothly.

The team at the BC SPCA performs diverse duties in keeping pets across the area safe and happy. They are known for their pet shelters full of adoptable fur kids looking for their chance at a forever home. Until then, they’re in the caring hands of the staff and volunteers who help to keep things running.

As a company that supports pets through holistic wellness, we’ve gotten to meet so many amazing adopted fur kids, each one with a different story. Some were found on the streets, others were inherited, and many came from shelters.

The heroes of that story are often the amazing folks at charities just like the BC SPCA. More than 10000 pets found homes thanks to their efforts just last year. It’s safe to say, we’re big fans!

How NHV Probiotic + Prebiotic Supports Digestive Wellness

So, why NHV Probiotic + Prebiotic for shelter pets? The answer is simple – good health starts in the gut. Seriously! The gut does so much more than you’d imagine, both in people and in pets. There’s the obvious: that a good and strong gut helps to digest food and move waste out of the body. But there’s even more to the digestive tract and its role in wellness.

The gut houses trillions of microbiota – the community of bacteria that help to break down and digest food. As it turns out, this community may be responsible for more than just digestion. Research shows that the gut is linked to the immune system and even stress and anxiety.

In times of stress, cortisol (the stress hormone) may make it easier for harmful bacteria to multiply. This phenomenon is part of the relationship between the mind and gut, known as the gut-brain axis. But that’s not all; a large part of the immune system resides in the gut as well. The lining of a pet’s digestive system is the body’s first defense.

Pets often come to shelters with a lot of stress. Whether they lost their owner or were born on the streets, they need that extra TLC as they adjust to a shelter or their new home.

That’s why we thought NHV Probiotic + Prebiotic was a perfect way to support the BC SPCA’s mission. It has over 5 billion friendly bacteria per scoop, which may help establish a healthy gut biome for better digestion, immune systems, and stress tolerance.

NHV Probiotic + Prebiotic also contains prebiotic fiber. This type of fiber helps to feed the friendly bacteria in the gut. Probiotics works best when paired with prebiotics – they’re the other half of the equation.

One Shared Mission: Supporting Pets

NHV has been around for over 25 years as of the writing of this blog. Since the start, it’s always been about the pets, their health, and their happiness.

The opportunity to connect with the BC SPCA was a chance to support pets in a whole new way, and we’re grateful to have had the opportunity to help the fur kids taking shelter here.

Our hearts are with each and every fur kid there, and we’re keeping our fingers crossed that they all end up in loving homes as soon as possible. Because at the end of the day, pets are family. Whether you found them on the side of the street or adopted them from a shelter, the love is the same.
