About "Bugs or Bust"

In this webinar, Dr. Stephanie Clark discusses the canine microbiome. With an ever-growing concern for our dog’s health, the gut microbiome is becoming a popular topic for pet owners and pet professionals. But have you ever wondered what it all means? In this webinar, Dr. Clark will discuss the difference between pre-, pro-, and postbiotics, the impact they have on your dog’s health, and how to identify these different compounds in a product's ingredient list so that you can make the best nutritional decisions for your dog. Additionally, we will dive deeper into evidence-based connections between the gut microbiome and other organ functions, such as skin, brain, and kidney!
