FAQ
Why does my pet need a pre and probiotic?: The latest research in human and animal health points to the gut being responsible for more than 80% of their immune system! The main component of a healthy gut is the friendly bacteria that live there (probiotics). Adding probiotics can help to rebalance the gut and replace any good bacteria that may have been lost through stress or antibiotics. They are the gatekeepers that stop intruders and keep the mucosal lining healthy so the body receives its vital nutrition.
These “good soldiers” need to be able to have the proper fertilisation in order to set up a colony and continue to produce and repopulate. Probiotics are not nearly as successful at reproducing and flourishing without the help of a prebiotic.
Will giving a probiotic cause any intestinal discomfort?: No! In fact, it is quite the opposite - pre and probiotics for dogs should support the natural digestion process and ensure you have plenty of "good" bacteria to keep the "bad bacter" in check.
Does this need to be refrigerated after opening?: Yes, please check the bottom of the jar for the best before date.
Can I use the product after expiry?:Yes, you can. The best before date is an indicator of when the bacteria will be at their optimum capacity.
How long will this product last once opened? Once opened the product should be good until the expiry date, but this willl depend on the humidity around and the more you open the jar, the more moisture absorption it will get. You are good to use it until you see the changing in appearance or smell of the product, that is when probiotics absorb enough moisture and it starts to activate.
Adored Beast Apothecary recommend starting on the lower side of the recommended daily intake and to continue this for 1-2 weeks, gradually working up to the full recommended daily intake. Every animal is unique. When adding a new supplement to your pet's regime, consider keeping a journal of changes.

For cats, Adored Beast do recommend starting with 1/8 tsp and increasing this dose gradually if required. Alternatively, Felix's Flora is Adored Beast's species-appropriate probiotic formulated specifically for cats.
Should there be a seal between the lid and the powder? Adored Beast do have a pressure seal that is put into the lid but it's not heat sealed to the rim, it's meant to keep moisture out. There is a security sea, that is the shrink wrapped on the outside. All their probiotics are freeze dried purposefully so they remain shelf stable so unless they are moisturized, they would be fine. Please keep the pouch in the tub to help maintain it freshness.
