⁉️ Kefir has antibiotic and antifungal properties.
⁉️ It can help with heartburn, gas, irritable bowel and stomach upsets
⁉️ It can counteract bad breath & even help to heal a leaky gut!
⚠️ Although Kefir is available in supermarkets, we urge caution with any product that is not designed for dogs as it may not be strong enough to travel through a dogs digestive system bearing in mind the differences between dogs and humans. Heirloom grains offer the best benefits for dogs such as those used by Alexander's Natural
⚠️ IF you choose to still use this from a supermarket please be aware that testing by Alexander's Natural, who make kefir specifically for dogs, has shown that the cultures are not anywhere near as strong in store bought kefir as they are in their product, so the effectiveness of store kefir for your dog will not be anywhere near as good as it would be should you buy a canine specific kefir.
🛑️ IF you still choose to use a store bought kefir rather than a canine specific one, please ensure it is the ORIGINAL flavour only and check the back for any ingredients such as grape as some contain ingredients toxic to dogs.
⚠️ IF you still choose to purchase store bought kefir, we cannot advise you on feeding guidelines as the product is designed for humans not dogs.
⁉️ Some members may choose to make their own kefir which is fine, however again we cannot advise on feeding amounts unfortunately.
⁉️ During the fermentation process of kefir, the lactose in the milk is greatly reduced so most dogs are able to tolerate it very well indeed. For the small percentage who still struggle though, the team at Alexander's Natural have also created Goat Milk Kefir and a Kefir Water, therefore ensuring there is an option for every dog.
⁉️ Kefir water can be poured into your own moulds and frozen into easily manageable portions. Please do not freeze the bottle it comes in as Kefir is LIVE so the bottle may pop if you do freeze it.
⁉️ Kefir water is a great choice for dogs with extreme lactose intolerance that are unable to even handle the tiniest lactose in milk based kefir, those who need to reduce fat content or those who are pancreatic.
⁉️ Kefir cheese is now also available for dogs, as are iced treats, as well as paw moulds and the water version too. All of these are a fantastic source of good bacteria for your dogs gut BUT as we always advise on everything for your dog, buying products that are designed for dogs specifically is crucial to ensure effectiveness of the product
