If your cat or dog has ever had diarrhea — especially after antibiotics, a sudden food change, or stress — you’re not alone. Digestive issues are among the most common reasons pets are taken to the vet. But did you know there’s a powerful probiotic that can help resolve these problems quickly and naturally?
Let us introduce you to Saccharomyces boulardii — the yeast-based probiotic that’s changing the game for pet gut health.
What Is Saccharomyces Boulardii?
Saccharomyces boulardii is a non-pathogenic, non-colonizing yeast probiotic. Unlike many traditional (bacteria-based) probiotics, S. boulardii is incredibly resilient — it survives stomach acid and isn’t destroyed by antibiotics, making it especially helpful during and after antibiotic treatments.
This probiotic has been extensively researched for humans and is now becoming increasingly popular in veterinary care, particularly for pets with:
- Antibiotic-associated diarrhea
- Food-related sensitivities
- Stress-induced digestive upsets
- Chronic gut inflammation
Key Benefits for Dogs and Cats
- Stops diarrhea fast – Usually within 1–3 days
- Survives antibiotics – Keeps working even during treatment
- Boosts immunity – Supports the gut–immune connection
- Safe for both cats and dogs – Gentle on sensitive tummies
Why Not Just Use Rice and Chicken?
Bland meals like rice and chicken are often recommended during digestive upsets. While they may give your pet a break from irritating foods, they don’t solve the underlying problem.
- Rice and chicken don’t replenish lost gut bacteria
- They lack vital nutrients for long-term recovery
- They don’t stop diarrhea at the source
Saccharomyces boulardii targets the root cause and helps restore balance — safely and naturally.
How to Give Saccharomyces Boulardii to Your Pet
You can find S. boulardii in capsule or powder form. It can be sprinkled over food or mixed into a little broth or wet food for fussier eaters.
Here’s a simple dosage guide using 250mg capsules:
- Cats & Small Dogs (<10kg): ½ capsule once daily
- Medium Dogs (10–25kg): 1 capsule twice daily
- Large Dogs (>25kg): 2 capsules twice daily
Always consult your vet before starting a new supplement, especially if your pet is on medication.
Final Thoughts
If your dog or cat is struggling with digestive issues, don’t just reach for plain rice or hope it passes. Saccharomyces boulardii is a proven, natural way to restore gut health quickly and gently — helping your pet feel better, faster.
