What is Gut Microbiome?
The gut microbiome, which consists of trillions of microorganisms residing in the digestive tract, plays a vital role in maintaining overall immunity and health. These microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, interact with the body's immune system and influence various physiological processes. The gut microbiome helps in the digestion and absorption of nutrients.
A balanced and diverse gut microbiome is crucial for optimal immune function and overall health.
The adult size of a breed determines the time to reach adulthood, with larger breeds taking longer to reach adulthood than small breeds. If your dog is expected to weight from 1-10kg in adulthood, you can transition them into adult formula around 9 months. Puppies expected to grow to adult size between 10 and 25kg can make the switch to adult food at around 12 months. Larger breed puppies reaching a weight of more than 25 kg in adulthood, may continue to be fed the puppy formula until 18 months of age. However, you can consult with your vet when in doubt.
Just like humans, excess weight can have negative effects on a dog's overall health, leading to issues such as joint problems, heart disease, and a decreased lifespan. An easy way to tell if you dog is overweight, check if it has a lean body condition, in which the dogs' ribs are easily felt and their waist is visible when viewed from above. If your dog is overweight, you should transition to PURINA ONE Healthy Weight formula.
