The benefits of Bene-Bac Plus Pet Gel
Bene-Bac Plus Pet Gel is a probiotic: it contains seven common fat-encapsulated microorganisms found in the intestinal systems of small mammals—the so-called ‘good’ bacteria. It also contains FOS: an important prebiotic, or a nutrient that feeds the good bacteria in the gut. Bene-Bac Plus Pet Gel is a tasty gel provided in an easy-to-use 15-gram syringe.
When to use Bene-Bac Plus Pet Gel
Bene-Bac Plus Pet Gel can provide support during changing or challenging situations such as a diet change, post-surgery recovery, breeding, weaning (transition from mother’s milk to solid food—especially if combined with moving to a new home), shows, kennel stays, and travel. In addition, Bene-Bac Plus Pet Gel can support the intestinal health of newborn puppies and kittens and can be used around deworming or after antibiotic treatment.
How to administer Bene-Bac Plus Pet Gel
The recommended amount of Bene-Bac Plus Pet Gel is 1 gram per 4.5 kg of body weight, with a maximum of 5 grams. Use the gel twice, with a three-day interval in between. It can be given directly into the mouth or mixed with food. For puppies and kittens, the following doses apply:
- Newborn puppies and kittens: 1/4 to 1/2 gram at birth; 1/2 gram on days 3, 5, and 7, and again at weaning.
- Hand-raised puppies and kittens: increase to 1/2 to 1 gram on day 7, 14, and when introducing solid food.
Additional medications and supplements with Bene-Bac Plus Pet Gel
Probiotics are often used to support various digestive issues in dogs and digestive issues in cats. They are often not used alone, but in combination with medication, food, and/or other supplements. Iso-Gel is a complementary feed for dogs and cats that helps firm up the stool. It also supports digestion and stimulates gut motility in cases such as hairballs, perineal hernia, or after anal gland removal. In these cases, Iso-Gel can help soften the stool. If your dog or cat has a sensitive digestive system, a special easily digestible diet such as Sanimed Intestinal Dog or Sanimed Intestinal Cat may support the stomach and intestines. If Bene-Bac Plus Pet Gel is used during stressful or new situations, a supplement like Zylkene or pheromones in Feliway or Adaptil can provide extra support for stress or anxiety in your cat or stress or anxiety in your dog. To help puppies and kittens transition smoothly to solid food, Bene-Bac Plus Pet Gel offers great support. High-quality puppy food or kitten food is also important for the healthy development of your puppy or kitten.
