Probiotics are dietary supplements that typically contain beneficial bacteria or yeasts. These are living microorganisms that in adequate amounts can be beneficial to your animal's health. They assist in maintaining the natural balance of microflora, which are organisms found in the intestines.
Prebiotics are non-living substances that promote the growth of healthy bacteria or the removal of harmful pathogens in the gut. Other prebiotics can be a source of essential nutrients.
