More and more caregivers are wondering why their dog or cat sheds so much, even outside of normal shedding periods. Stress? Allergies? Genetics? There's one factor that's often overlooked: gut health and microbiota. In this post, we'll tell you why a balanced gut can be key to improving the condition of your pet's skin and coat, and how postbiotics can help in a simple and natural way.
Why is my pet losing so much hair?
There are many causes behind excessive hair loss in dogs and cats:
-
Seasonal changes
-
Chronic stress
-
Inadequate or monotonous diets
-
Food allergies
-
Hidden intestinal inflammation (yes, it also plays a role)
And this is where the intestinal microbiota comes in, that invisible universe of bacteria that regulates much more than digestion.
What does the intestine have to do with hair?
Skin and hair depend on proper absorption of nutrients, vitamins, and fatty acids. If the gut is inflamed or altered (dysbiosis), these nutrients don't reach the body properly, and the body reacts to this with dry skin, itching, or excessive hair loss .
Furthermore, the gut houses more than 70% of the immune system. When there's an imbalance, the body can enter a state of silent inflammation that also affects hair.
How do postbiotics like Fortebiotics help?
-
✅ They restore the intestinal microbiota without live bacteria (more safety)
-
✅ They contain butyrate and bacteriocins , which reduce inflammation
-
✅ They improve the absorption of essential nutrients
-
✅ They strengthen the immune system from the intestine
-
✅ They work from day one with an easy-to-dose formula: 1 drop per kilo
When to use Fortebiotics if you have hair loss?
✔ During seasonal moulting, to strengthen the intestine and prevent deficiencies
✔ If you notice that your hair loss is excessive or unusual
✔ In animals with allergies, atopic skin or digestion problems
✔ As a booster after antibiotic, antiparasitic or corticosteroid treatments
Hair loss isn't always just a matter of brushing or shampooing. Often, the source is internal: in the intestine. Fortebiotics works where it all begins, improving the microbiota and helping your pet's coat grow stronger, healthier, and shinier from the roots.
