Do I need to put BFF in the fridge?
If you can keep BFF in the fridge after opening, it will help the probiotics live longer. If not refrigerated, just be sure to use the jar within 30 days or so.
Can I give my dog BFF if he has digestive upset?
The bacteria strains in BFF are hand-picked and veterinarian formulated to help maintain proper gut flora and help with occasional digestive distress.
What’s the difference between BFF and Protect?
BFF helps support your dog through occasional flare-ups of digestive distress. It’s good to reach for BFF in times when your dog needs immediate support. Protect is a soil-based probiotic that supports the gut but it also supports the body from exposure to heavy metals or environmental toxins. This is why we recommend Protect as an important daily probiotic.
What’s FOS and why is it in BFF?
FOS or fructooligosaccharide is a healthy prebiotic that keeps the bacteria colonies fed and healthy. In addition to FOS, BFF contains inulin from organic artichoke hearts, which is another healthy prebiotic.
Can I give BFF to my dog long-term?
We recommend using BFF to support your dog during digestive flare ups, not for long-term use. While BFF can be used daily, we recommend Protect because it’s less likely to cause bacterial overgrowth and it supports dogs from exposure to heavy metals or environmental toxins.
Can I give BFF if my dog is on antibiotics?
If your dog is on medication, a good choice would be Saccharomyces boulardii (unless your veterinarian says otherwise). S. boulardii is considered to be probiotic because it benefits the gut and immune system like other friendly bacteria. But S. boulardii is actually a healthy yeast, not a bacterium. As a probiotic yeast, S. boulardii is much less susceptible to gut-stressing drugs and chemicals than probiotic bacteria are.
