โGut Healthโ on the label doesnโt automatically mean gut health in the bottle.
With so many probiotic products now on the market, we believe itโs important to look beyond the marketing.
A probiotic isnโt just about CFU count. When we vet a probiotic for our animals, we look at the strains, their research, their intended function, species relevance, survivability, and how the overall formula is designed, and much more.
Different strains can have different functions. More strains โ automatically better if thereโs no reason for each one to be there.
We also consider prebiotics, which can provide fuel to support beneficial microbes, when appropriate for the formula.
Species also matters. The microbiome of a dog or cat isn't the same as humans, so we believe it's important to look for strains that have been studied specifically in animals rather than simply assuming a human probiotic is suitable for them.
At Honu Paws, we look way beyond whats on the label and marketing.
Save this one. Weโre going deeper into probiotics soon
