What can cause a dysbiosis?

The main causes of dysbiosis in companion animals include:

• The use of antibiotics
• Intestinal pathogens
• Dietary indiscretion (e.g. scavenging)
• Sudden change of diet
• Prolonged fasting
• Stress (e.g. travel, shows and kennels)
• Life-stage (e.g. weaning and old age).

The most common symptom associated with dysbiosis is diarrhoea.
