A dietary regimen with prebiotic and postbiotic impacts microbiota and immune parameters in dogs, suggesting health benefits.

Supplementation with scFOS + resulted in significant changes in the fecal microbiota profile of senior dogs, enhancing specific bacterial populations.
The study identified a notable increase in Megamonas spp. and Fusobacterium in supplemented dogs, influencing gut health and immune response.
Analysis demonstrated a reduction in the amplicon sequence variants index, indicating a healthier gut environment linked to immune parameters.
Findings suggest that incorporating scFOS + can support elderly dogs' health through beneficial shifts in gut microbiota composition.

Rodiles et al. (2025) studied this question.
