The main causes of dysbiosis in companion animals include: 

• Antibiotic treatment
• 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. Other clinical signs that can be seen include vomiting, bloating, flatulence and borborygmi (excessive rumbling or gurgling noise that occurs from the movements of fluid and gas in the intestines). 

As a responsible, veterinarian-led business, Protexin only uses probiotic species which have passed extensive safety trials.  Side effects associated with the use of probiotics are extremely rare and generally speaking, it is not possible to give too many as any excess probiotic will simply pass out in the faeces.  However, it’s always important to follow the recommended amount and do not exceed the manufacturer’s instructions. For more information, please contact us. 

Yes, for the best results give the probiotic at the opposite end of the day to the antibiotic. Where this is not possible, give the probiotic at least two hours after the antibiotic. The probiotic will not affect the efficacy of the antibiotic. 

Protexin Daily Care products are designed to be given daily so can be given long term unless your vet recommends otherwise. 

Don’t worry – you can just give the dog the missed chew and resume your regular schedule.

Reseal after opening, store in a cool dry place, keep out of direct sunlight, and out of reach of pets and children.

No. We do not advise using any product that has passed the expiry date on the package.
