The Building Blocks of Gut Health. Understanding Your Pet’s Microbiome

3 November, 2025

Why gut balance matters and how to support it with pre/pro/postbiotics. Prebiotics – Food for Friendly Bacteria Prebiotics are types of dietary fibre that your pet can’t digest but beneficial gut microbes can. They act as fertiliser for the “good” bacteria, helping them grow and crowd out harmful strains. Common sources: Chicory root (inulin), green banana fibre, flaxseed, psyllium husk. Probiotics – The Live Helpers Probiotics are the live “good” bacteria themselves. Supplementing with the right strains can restore balance after a course of antibiotics or during times of stress. Examples: Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species are well-researched for pets. Postbiotics…

Leaky Gut in Dogs & Cats

11 August, 2023

Leaky gut syndrome, also known as intestinal permeability, is a condition that affects both dogs and cats. It occurs when the lining of the gastrointestinal tract becomes damaged, allowing toxins, undigested food particles, and bacteria to leak into the bloodstream. This can trigger a cascade of health issues, ranging from digestive problems to immune system disorders and food sensitivities. The most common causes of leaky gut in dogs & cats is chronic low-grade inflammation which may occur as a result of toxicity, poor diet, overuse of medications, bacterial imbalance (dysbiosis), parasites, food allergies & autoimmune diseases.

Thank you for sending my order so quickly, I used the Arnica Cream straight away on my dog's ear, and within 3 hours there was significant reduction in the swelling. 1 day later the Haematoma is almost gone! I'm so happy I found your Arnica cream and don’t need to put my dog through unnecessary surgery advised by my vet.

I have to be careful what I give my dog as he has a lot of products he is not compatible with. However the PetArk Petbiotics Probiotic is good and appears to be having a very positive impact on his gut health. Though expensive it lasts for a long time. As a probiotic for a dog I think it is excellent!

The girls are so much happier since I dusted the coop last week with Neempet Poultry Dust. One girl even perked up and started laying again already after her winter moult! I was doubtful that the treatment would work because there weren’t many other reviews but I’ve been very pleased with the efficacy.

My mare was very hormonal when around other horses but since I have been giving her Greenpet Equine Hormoneze she is a lot calmer and relaxed. Definitely recommend this product.

Essential Dog Herbal Ear Cleaner works! It dries the wetness causing smelly, itchy, yeasty ears. Dry ears makes it so much easier to get that muck out and then maintain with this spray. We have a standard Labradoodle that always needs attention to her ears and find this amazing !!!

Only after a few dosages of the Petz Park Eye Support, my cat lost the grey film behind his iris. Very happy and I will continue to give it to him. I am a Naturopath in Brisbane, but I always recommend GreenPet to my clients when they start talking about their animals to me. Just a wonderful service and website.

HomeoPet Skin & Itch is a great product! It helped very quickly to stop Indie’s itching and scratching from an allergy. I love that it is totally safe and without any nasty side effects like the awful drugs prescribed by orthodox vets. Definitely recommended.

Alex

The Herbal Eye Wash is a fantastic product. After only a few days of use I'm noticing a real difference in my dog's irritated eye. She is very happy for me to bathe her eye as it doesn't sting. No discomfort for her and I don't need to chase her around trying to put drops in her eye, which she really dislikes.

I’ve been using Faith's Cleanse & Detox for my little fur baby for 2 years now. No parasites, no heart worm and his fur and skin are beautiful. I also use it every 2nd day to keep healthy and parasite-free as my fur baby sleeps with me so it’s very important that I treat myself too. So amazing that I can share a product with my dog. I love that 🐾🙏🏽

A few months ago my 13 yr old Persian Ragdoll X had elevated liver enzymes which was cause for concern. My Vet recommended Milk Thistle and today at the Vet, his liver enzymes are normal, or as my Vet put it, “Phenomenal”! All thanks to Milk Thistle and GreenPet!
