Since the release of our Pronine™ Flora 4-in-1 Canine Probiotic, Prebiotic, Digestive Enzyme, Herb Supplement, people have been asking whether or not they should switch their dog to that from the Project Paws® Omega 3-6-9 Select Chews to help control their dog’s allergies. While each product individually can help reduce symptoms of allergies, the products work differently and actually work best in conjunction with each other to reduce your dog’s itching and scratching.
Omega-3 helps reduce inflammation. Inflammation can cause all sorts of health problems including allergies, arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, heart disease, diabetes, liver or kidney disease, and cancer. According to Dr. Angie Krause, DVM:
“Every dog should be on an omega-3 fatty acid supplement. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to help decrease inflammation and benefit organ function. For some itchy dogs, this [is] all they need to drastically improve their itch. Giving your dog omega-3 fatty acids can significantly reduce the amount of steroids that it will take to eliminate biting, scratching and chewing.”
Probiotics are different. 70% of all your dog’s immune cells live in his gut. Probiotics add beneficial bacteria to your dog’s gut, which can help improve his immune function. An improved immune system can better handle things like allergies. According to Marcella D. Ridgway, VMD, MS, DACVIM:
“A daily probiotic supplement may also provide some ancillary benefits for dogs such as better skin and coat appearance, a reduction in gas, improved breath, a reduction of allergy symptoms, a reduction in yeast-associated disorders, and help in regulating bowel function.”
Since Project Paws® Omega 3-6-9 Select Chews and Pronine™ Flora 4-in-1 Canine Probiotic, Prebiotic, Digestive Enzyme, Herb Supplement work differently to help control your dog’s allergy symptoms, the combination of both products should offer the optimum benefit for your fur child.
