Takeaways

Pets can suffer from gut health issues, just like humans, and this can manifest as behavioral problems.

Signs of gut health issues in pets include anxiety, trouble paying attention, destructive behavior, and changes in bathroom habits.

Probiotics are important for pets' gut health, as they can help improve the gut lining, nutrient absorption, and immune response.

The Just Pets probiotic from Just Thrive contains three licensed strains, including spore bacillus strains that are effective at reducing pathogenic levels in the intestines.

The field of pet gut health is evolving, with increasing research and awareness of the importance of gut health for overall pet well-being.
