ProBiotic LIVE is a patented (EP patent 2124607 – Pet Food) functional Super Premium food for pets, containing a live and highly concentrated probiotic bacteria. Probiotic bacteria occur naturally in the intestines of all healthy animals, and these microorganisms colonize the immature gut, reestablish the disrupted intestines, and/or support the digestive system thus promoting the mechanism of competitive exclusion against potential pathogenic bacteria. The probiotic microorganism, Enterococcus faecium, contained within ProBiotic LIVE is recovered from the internationally recognized culture collection NCIMB (National Collections of Industrial and Marine Bacteria) and chosen for its beneficial effects within the digestive tract of the host – in this case, the dog and the cat.
