It's not just humans who need an healthy intestinal environment! Intestinal health has also been shown to be effective for beloved dogs and cats.

健康のために腸内環境が大切なのは人間だけじゃない!?愛犬/愛猫にも効果が認められた腸活

"Intestinal activity" to improve the intestinal environment has become a well-known health method for humans. Recently, we have been receiving more inquiries about this at our shop, but it has been found that intestinal activity is also effective for the health of beloved dogs and cats.

Just like humans, if you have a dog or cat that suffers from allergies, we recommend that you try Kestose. It can also help boost the immune system of dogs and cats who have health concerns, such as those who get diarrhea when eating commercial pet food.

Reference: Fujita Health University Press Release: "Research results from the Gastroenterology Department, Medical Pre-Probiotics Research Group have been published in the international journal, Polish Journal of Veterinary Sciences."

Do you have any of these problems with your beloved dog/cat?

・There are areas that are red and have no hair growing back - this may be dermatitis.

・Commercial pet food can cause stomach upset

・Even when I go for a walk, my bowels do not pass regularly.

Your mouth may smell bad

The stool may have an unpleasant odor

These causes may be due to an imbalance in the intestinal environment.

This is what your dog/cat's intestines look like

It is said that there are about 100 trillion bacteria in the intestines of animals. Some bacteria have beneficial effects on the body, while others are harmful.


Good bacteria: These have beneficial effects on the body.

Bad bacteria: They produce harmful substances and can cause putrefaction in the intestines.

Opportunistic bacteria: These are bacteria that normally do nothing, but when your immune system weakens they start to act in a similar way to bad bacteria .


When bad bacteria increase and the balance of the intestinal environment is disturbed, it can cause problems such as diarrhea and constipation. The causes of this can be stress or an unbalanced diet.

The intestinal environment is said to be directly linked to an animal's lifespan

We want our pets, who are part of our family, to live long and healthy lives.

Just like in the human intestine, by maintaining a balance of the "good bacteria," "bad bacteria," and "opportunistic bacteria" that exist in the intestines of dogs and cats, we can hope to maintain a healthy body that is less susceptible to disease.

Good bacteria support digestion and absorption, suppressing the growth of bad bacteria and activating immune function. They also protect the intestines, preventing harmful bacteria and allergens from entering the body.

However, please adjust the amount of food your dog/cat receives according to its weight and physical condition.

・Weight 5-15kg...approximately 1.5g

・Weight 15kg or more: Approx. 2.0g

This is only a guideline, so please adjust the amount according to your pet's condition.

Intestinal health affects the health of your beloved dog/cat

It is a good idea to start taking care of your pets' intestinal health from an early age, if possible.
Puppies/kittens inherit their immunity from colostrum and other fluids from their mother.

However, from about five months of age, the immunity received from the mother disappears and is replaced by the immunity produced by the baby's own body. If the balance of the intestinal environment is disturbed at this stage, for example, the number of good bacteria decreases, it can cause skin disorders, stomach problems, loss of appetite, and other ailments.

Try incorporating kestose into your diet to help your body transition smoothly to its own immune system. A strong immune system will help you avoid getting sick and improve your body's natural healing ability.
Please try intestinal health from an early age.
