Animalcare launches Procanicare for dogs

Animalcare has launched Procanicare, a first-of-its-kind gastrointestinal (GI) support product developed from a healthy dog’s intestinal bacteria.

The product contains 3 live strains of canine-specific Lactobacillus bacteria, making it an excellent GI support product to maintain equilibrium in the dog’s GI intestinal microbiome, especially when a risk of intestinal microbiome alteration is present.

Animalcare stated: “The three live strains of Lactobacillus, found in Procanicare, were carefully selected after a series of studies isolated the most appropriate species for commercial use from the intestinal microbiome of healthy dogs.”

Vetcare’s product development manager, Shea Beasley, stated: “The strains of Lactobacillus found in Procanicare have been commercially available in Scandinavia for 2 years now. It has achieved great success with Scandinavian vets frequently recommending it in situations where the gastrointestinal microbiota can become unstable, such as following antibiotic use and in stressful situations such as travelling and kennelling, as well as when supporting the intestinal microbiome is particularly important, such as during pregnancy and lactation.’’
