Investigating the use of probiotics in the management of gastrointestinal disorders in dogs.

Project Abstract

Gastrointestinal disorders are common health issues in dogs, leading to discomfort, reduced quality of life, and potential complications. Probiotics have gained attention for their potential role in managing gastrointestinal disorders by promoting gut health and immune function. This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of probiotics in the management of gastrointestinal disorders in dogs. The study will focus on evaluating the impact of probiotics on the gastrointestinal health of dogs, including their ability to alleviate symptoms, improve gut microbiota balance, and enhance overall well-being.
