Instead of pricey probiotic pet food and supplements, all natural Mountain High Yoghurt is an affordable probiotic for pets. It supports pets’ digestive health and immunity for pennies a serving with billions of live and active cultures.
 Denver, CO (PRWEB) November 30, 2009 -- Pricey probiotic pet food and supplements are a growing segment in the pet chow market. In 2009, Americans are expected to spend over $17 billion on pet food and $12 billion on veterinary care, mostly on dogs and cats. An increasingly popular—and expensive—option is probiotic pet food: kibble and supplements for dogs and cats. A much more affordable probiotic pet food option is to serve pets Mountain High Yoghurt, which is loaded with live, active and probiotic cultures.
Some probiotic kibbles cost as much as $15 per pound, which is comparable to the price of beef tenderloin. Supplements are also expensive, and often available only through specialty retail stores, online sales or veterinarian practices.
Why do owners shell out so much? When pets experience digestive or nutritional problems, owners naturally want to help them. Additionally, the cost of prescriptions and surgeries make alternatives popular. Fortunately, many pet digestive issues can be resolved with probiotics like those found in Mountain High Yoghurt.
The company’s brand manager, Clint Goldsmith, explains how. “Dogs and cats benefit from Mountain High’s unique blend of probiotic cultures because, like humans, they need these friendly intestinal bacteria for their digestive health and optimal immune function.” Additionally, the probiotic cultures in Mountain High Yoghurt remain live and active in the yoghurt, meaning they can reproduce once ingested.
When a poor diet, illness, stress, or medications such as antibiotics kill off probiotic cultures in a pet’s digestive system, an overgrowth of harmful bacteria can occur, affecting a pet’s health. “Regular servings of Plain Mountain High Yoghurt can help restore the naturally occurring probiotic populations in a pet’s digestive system because it contains billions of the live, active, and probiotic bacteria L. acidophilus, B. bifidus, and L. casei,” Goldsmith says. These cultures can even help eliminate so-called doggy breath and kitten breath.
Additionally, Mountain High can help:
| |
- dogs or cats who have diarrhea
- puppies or kittens who need help establishing a good microbial balance
- young dogs and cats who’ve eaten something they shouldn’t have
- dogs or cats with systems upset by travel, boarding, stress, or changing diets
- adopted pets or recovered strays who had poor diets in their previous homes/shelters
- older pets whose systems are slowing down
