Your cat’s intestines are home to trillions of microbes, mostly bacteria, that are known as the gut microbiota. These healthy bacteria help to fight against potential disease-causing micro-organisms, by competing for food and space. The good bacteria can also stimulate immune cells within the intestines, which leads to benefits for the whole immune system. Therefore, the overall health of your pet can actually be affected by the health of their gastrointestinal tract.

What can be done to help?
Adding certain ingredients into the diet can help to improve the balance of your cat’s gut bacteria and support their health. These ingredients include probiotics, prebiotics and postbiotics
