In recent years, the spotlight on gut health has illuminated its profound impact on overall well-being. Just as in humans, maintaining a healthy gut is crucial for pets. Probiotics play a pivotal role in supporting digestive health, and understanding their benefits can make a significant difference in your pet’s quality of life.

Why Probiotics Matter for Pets

Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, provide health benefits to the host. For pets, these benefits are particularly notable in the realm of digestive health. A balanced gut microbiome can enhance nutrient absorption, bolster the immune system, and reduce inflammation, contributing to overall health and vitality. Probiotics are also essential for managing gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhea and constipation, which are common in pets due to various factors including diet changes, stress, and illness.

Introducing SUBACTIL: The Next Step in Pet Probiotic Health

In the quest to support pet intestinal health, we are proud to introduce SUBACTIL, a probiotic solution designed specifically for pets. Featuring a proprietary strain of Bacillus subtilis known as PB6 (ATCC PTA-6737), SUBACTIL provides strong support for pet digestive health.

Why SUBACTIL Stands Out

  1. Intestinal Support: SUBACTIL supports a healthy intestinal microbial population and has anti-inflammatory effects that aid the digestive tract during challenges.
  2. Pet-Friendly: This product is safe for pets, surviving in the gastrointestinal tract of both dogs and cats without any toxicity.
  3. Label-Friendly: SUBACTIL (Bacillus subtilis) is AAFCO-approved and non-GMO, making it a trustworthy choice for pet owners. It can be fed directly or included in pet food, treats, and supplements.

How SUBACTIL Works

The PB6 strain in SUBACTIL produces lipopeptides in the gastrointestinal tract, which have efficient anti-inflammatory properties and inhibitory activity against pathogenic bacteria like C. perfringens.1

Ease of Use

SUBACTIL products are blended with a grain-free carrier, making them easy to dose and suitable for direct feeding or inclusion in common pet food products. Additionally, SUBACTIL can be blended with Kemin palatants or proteins at our facilities for ease of application.

SUBACTIL is a Product You Can Trust

SUBACTIL offers support for gastrointestinal health in pets. With its proprietary strain of Bacillus subtilis, anti-inflammatory properties, and ease of use, SUBACTIL is a great addition to any pet food product. Trust SUBACTIL to keep your pets healthy and happy.
