A few weeks back I had a lymph node inflammation and got put on antibiotics. Every time I take antibiotics I become bloated and prone to yeast infections. This is a common side effect because antibiotics kill bad bacteria and probiotics alike. This got be thinking about my Bichon, Chris.
Chris has been taking antibiotics for an ear infection. I never thought of it until now, but dog could face the same issues that humans face. But he can't tell us about his upset stomach. I thought of all the times we had to coax him on the diaper, the hard stool, and him waking up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, despite the sufficient amount of vegetables we add to his diet.
If I need to take probiotics to feel better, maybe he does, too. I have had a great experience with Good Mo Family's Pet Skin Savior Combo, so I decided to give their Good Baby Probiotics a try.
Best Probiotics for Dogs: Good Mo Family Review—Survive Stomach Acid
One of the biggest problems with taking probiotics is that the acidic environment in the stomach could kill them. Which is why probiotics for people are often made as capsules. The best time to give your pet probiotics is with their meal. The food would dilute the acidity of their stomach and help ensure that the probiotics survive.
Good Mo Family Good Baby Probiotics uses patented bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856 and a combination of lactobacillus. Studies have proven that Bacillus Coagulans MTCC 5856 can survive wet, hot, and acidic environments. An approximately 95% viability was maintained even after extended exposure to hot acidic and cold acidic environments. This means that MTCC 5856 can survive digestion and actually reach the intestines to help improve the gastrointestinal health of your puppers.

Best Probiotics for Dogs: Good Mo Family Review—Prebiotics
Every animal’s body has various bacteria. If it is filled with good bacteria, i.e. probiotics, there would be no space for bad bacteria. This cannot be achieved by simply supplementing probiotics, it’s important the the probiotics can live on and procreate from within.
A vet explains that prebiotics can loosely be understood as food for probiotics. Without prebiotics, probiotics would start dying or becoming incomplete, which would prevent them from taking full effect. Prebiotics are mainly dietary fiber that cannot be digested by animals. We give Chris his Good Baby Probiotics Powder in his meal, which includes dog food and blanched fresh vegetables. The additional dietary fiber that goes down with it is great! But don't worry if you don't give your dog veggies, Good Mo Family got it covered.
Good Mo Family Good Baby Probiotics Powder contains isomalto-oligosaccharides (IMO). IMO is a prebiotic that helps feed probiotics and make sure that they not only survive digestion, but can reproduce once they reach the destination, which is our goal.

Best Probiotics for Dogs: Good Mo Family Review—β-glucan
Good Baby Probiotics Powder contains an exclusive recipe of β-glucan. Beta-glucan is also a prebiotic fiber that can help promote good bacteria and keep bad bacteria in line. Beyond that, it is 75% polysaccharide—something that is commonly found in mushrooms and fungi—which is a strong antioxidant. Beta-glucan is also a supplement recommended by vets to help boost pet's immune system and help alleviate or prevent allergies and other skin issues.

Best Probiotics for Dogs: Good Mo Family Review—Sea Buckthorn
Sea buckthorns, also known as seaberries, are rich in amino acids, vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, C, and omega-3, 6, 7, 9. Good Baby Prodbiotics from Good Mo Family contains sea buckthorn extract, which is not just beneficial to pets' digestive and skin health, but could also help them maintain a thick, beautiful coat of fur.
Best Probiotics for Dogs: Good Mo Family Review—Chris' Experience
Now that we've covered all the literature and research I read before deciding that Good Mo Family's Good Baby Probiotics Powder is the winner, let's talk about how it worked out for Chris.
Chris is 12, so he's not usually very active. He spends the majority of his time sleeping even during the day. The first time I gave him Good Baby Probiotics, I gave it to him with his breakfast. He spent the whole day walking around the house, nudging people, and following us wherever we went. We were surprised by how energetic he was the entire day. We thought it was just a coincidence, so we tried giving him Good Baby Probiotics Powder for a few days, then not giving him probiotics for a few days. He was always more active when he takes Good Baby.
He became more excited about food, too, because his improved digestion meant his tummy is no longer stuffed and bloated, which affected his appetite. He also has softer and healthier stool instead of the rock hard poop he had. He also sleeps much better now and never wakes up in the middles of the night.
