Dysbiosis in puppies and food sensitivities
Contacts
The initial post-separation stress from mother and siblings and the change in the environment in which the puppy was born and raised, can create an imbalance in the baby’s intestinal flora. This leaves room for the proliferation of other harmful protozoa giving rise to dysbiosis, which can trigger phenomena such as Giardiasis. How can we intervene to help the puppy overcome this initial phase of change, which affects its microbiota?
Generally, the Giardia is the effect and not the cause of the problem, the fundamental principle to counteract it is to work for the constitution of a correct intestinal microbiota, in continuous relationship with the external environment, through direct contact with the germs of domestic spaces and the feeding. This together with the “immune baggage” that the mother transmits to the little ones will allow them to deal with the bacteria that live in the places where the mother lives and the puppy is born.
It is also important to remember that the dog is a carnivorous animal and therefore its digestive system is organized to digest and derive nutrition mainly from raw meat. It is often industrial food that “deceives” the dog’s appetite, because it contains raw materials that the dog would naturally refuse, and this can lead to the onset of intolerances to the animal itself.
The first cause of intolerances are cereals, which during the storage phases can develop molds that are harmful to our four legs. Occasionally in puppies we can observe chronic inflammation of the colon, a general lowering of muscle tone and a weakened immune system.
Of course we must not fall into extremes, as it would be difficult to imagine our little ones living next to their wolf cousins or inserted with a pack of wild dogs.
How to do it then? What to feed our Lagotti to keep them beautiful and healthy? The best choice is always a well-balanced fresh diet, tailored to the needs of the individual and prescribed by a specialized nutritionist veterinarian.
We at Carpino Nero successfully rely on Dott. Francesco Benincasaa great lover of the breed, who, examining case by case succeeds through proper nutrition to restore the digestive system even in particularly sensitive subjects calibrating the right choice of ingredients that, presented when fresh to the animal, they retain all the organoleptic properties essential for the formation of a correct intestinal microbiota.
A real shield against pathogens and parasites that the dog normally encounters during its existence.
In conclusion, we can say that the dog’s health mainly depends on what it eats and it is wrong to blame very common protozoa such as Giardia, as these would naturally be counteracted by the animal itself if properly fed.
