Why use ZamiPet High Strength Probiotics+ Gut Protect?
Pet parents recognise signs of gastrointestinal upsets in their dogs all too well: diarrhoea, loose stools and flatulence are unpleasant for both you and especially your pet. A healthy digestive system (or gut) is key to your pet’s overall health and wellbeing. In fact, the gut comprises 70 per cent of the body’s immune cells. To understand the function of probiotics in supporting digestive and immune system health, we must first understand the role of a healthy gut microbiome.
Gut microbiome
Microorganisms (including bacteria, viruses, and yeasts) are present in huge numbers in the digestive tract of animals. This collection of microorganisms within the gut environment is known as the gut microbiome. To ensure efficient and effective digestion and absorption of food, the gut microbiome needs to operate in a balanced environment to provide the necessary nutrients to support a healthy immune system.
A microbiome in healthy dogs has three things in common:
- Lots of beneficial bacteria
- Diverse population of bacteria
- The right balance of bacteria
Beneficial bacteria versus bad bacteria
The bacteria present in the microbiome consist of both good and bad bacteria. Beneficial (good) bacteria help aid food digestion and keep levels of bad bacteria in check. Bad bacteria can be detrimental to your pet’s health if they leave the gut and enter the bloodstream, or if they dominate the bacterial population within the gut.
A balanced gut is a healthy gut
Signs of gastrointestinal upsets in dogs – or an imbalanced microbiome – are very common. A combination of Prebiotics, Probiotics and Postbiotics can help restore balance to the gut and prevent levels of bad bacteria overpowering beneficial bacteria.
ZamiPet High Strength Probiotics+ Gut Protect is a concentrated 7-strain Probiotic formula combined with Prebiotics and Postbiotics to help improve the microbial intestinal balance in dogs and support immune function and a healthy digestive system.
How Pre, Pro & Postbiotics work together to help your dog thrive
Think of the gut as a garden bed. Nurturing a garden with water and fertiliser benefits the entire garden including the soil, providing an ideal environment for the garden to grow and thrive.

- Enterococcus faecium: Supports gut health, immunity in adult dogs and puppies, and assists during episodes of acute diarrhoea.
- Postbiotic (0.2 Billion cells/serve):
- Lactobacillus paracasei: Supports a healthy immune system for healthy skin.
Stability is key for Probiotics
Probiotics are living organisms that are highly sensitive to temperature and moisture so they must be carefully handled at every stage of development, including where and how they’re manufactured and how they’re packaged. The ability for a Probiotic to retain its health benefit (or efficacy) right to the end of its shelf-life is referred to as stability.

Directions for Use
Mix one (1) sachet daily with meals or as recommended by your animal health professional. One sachet equals 1.2 g. Also suitable for puppies aged 8 weeks and older.
Please note temporary digestive adjustment is not uncommon during the first week of probiotic use as your dog transitions to a healthier microbiome. If your dog experiences a tummy upset, stop providing the probiotics to your dog for 2 days to allow the gut to settle, and then commence again with half the recommended daily dose for 3 days, before increasing to the standard recommended dose thereafter. If symptoms persist, please visit your vet for further guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my dog like the taste of ZamiPet High Strength Probiotics+?
ZamiPet High Strength Probiotics+ are unflavoured so you can mix in or sprinkle on top of your dog's favourite meal. And with a modest 1.2 g per serve, your dog is unlikely to notice the powder at all!
Can I use natural foods like yoghurt as a source of probiotics for my dog?
The high lactose content of dairy products may cause intestinal upset in dogs, rather than providing a health benefit.
What does CFU mean and why is it important?
Probiotics are measured in colony forming units (CFU) and are generally calculated in millions or billions per serve. CFU is one of several indicators used for probiotic quality and refers to the number of living or viable microorganisms in one serving of probiotic supplement. The CFU number is important in the context of ensuring your dog receives a high enough number of live bacteria per serve to improve the balance of good bacteria in the gut. Other important indicators of quality for probiotics include the right strains (or combination of strains), scientific evidence to support the desired health benefit, and suitable packaging (such as single-serve sachets) to protect probiotic viability and stability.
Why don't ZamiPet High Strength Probiotics+ need to be kept in the fridge?
Fridge-free probiotics – often referred to as shelf-stable probiotics – are created by freeze drying live bacteria, which remain dormant until they come into contact with moisture.* Because probiotics are sensitive to heat and will naturally decline in numbers over time (especially unrefrigerated), shelf-stable probiotics are over-filled with live strains, referred to as overage. This ensures there are enough viable probiotics for your dog right up until the end of the product’s shelf life. For example, whilst the ZamiPet High Strength Probiotics+ range declares 2 billion CFU per serve, in reality this number is significantly higher at the time of manufacture to allow for the natural decline in numbers over time until end of shelf life.
*As ZamiPet’s High Strength Probiotics+ range is packed in single-serve sachets, our product won’t be exposed to moisture until it’s opened and fed to your dog. This ensures most of the beneficial bacteria will survive to perform their important function in the gut.
How long will ZamiPet High Strength Probiotics+ take to work and how long should my dog take them for?
Whilst every dog is different, it can take anywhere from a few days to 2 months for your pet to feel the benefits of a probiotic supplement. Probiotics need time to work on increasing your dog’s good bacteria in the gut, whilst also decreasing the harmful bacteria at the same time. Patience is key, so Dr. Andrew McKay (ZamiPet’s Head Vet) advises you continue with the recommended daily dose of ZamiPet High Strength Probiotics+ for at least two months. If symptoms persist, visit your vet for further guidance.
Are there any known side effects supplementing my dog’s diet with probiotics?
The purpose of giving probiotics to your dog is to help restore balance to their gut and prevent levels of bad bacteria overpowering beneficial bacteria. Re-establishing this balance can take time and it’s not uncommon for your dog to experience a short period of temporary digestive adjustment, symptoms of which may include flatulence, loose stools, or diarrhoea. This can be part of the normal process as your dog’s gut transitions to a healthier microbiome and is a positive sign the probiotic is doing its job.
In the event symptoms of digestive adjustment continue, ZamiPet’s Head Vet, Dr. Andrew McKay, recommends you stop providing the probiotics to your dog for 2 days to allow the gut to settle, and then commence again with half the recommended daily dose for 3 days, before increasing to the standard recommended dose thereafter. If symptoms persist, please visit your vet for further guidance.
I'm feeding my dog a raw diet. Can I use ZamiPet High Strength Probiotics+?
Yes. ZamiPet High Strength Probiotics+ can be sprinkled directly onto your dog's favourite meal every day.
Are ZamiPet High Strength Probiotics+ suitable for puppies?
ZamiPet High Strength Probiotics+ are suitable for puppies aged 8 weeks and older. In fact, two of the strains in ZamiPet High Strength Probiotics+ Gut Protect (Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Enterococcus faecium) have demonstrated a benefit to the immune system health of puppies.
My dog can't eat chicken or grains: is the ZamiPet High Strength Probiotic+ range suitable for my pet?
Yes. The ZamiPet High Strength Probiotics+ range does not contain any chicken or grain ingredients.
