FASTRACK
We were skeptical of probiatics as we have tried some in the past and did not see any gains. We started using FASTRACK
due to one of our girls going to our vet as she was having soft stool issues and were suggested FASTRACK to
help her stomach. Within a week we noticed the hardening of her stool and more "life" in her step, she began playing
more and running with our pack.
.
With
the changes we seen in our one girls, we started a daily regiment with all of our Portys and have noticible benefits
from this product.
.
With the success found in our
adults, we began using FASTRACK for our puppies and found great gains in the early development stages. Our last
three litters have opened their eyes and begun walking a week earlier and have been an average weight of 3lbs
heavier at 8 weeks of age.
.
We suggest
using FASTRACK to all of our families for their new pets and other dogs they may have.
Kortun
Kennels has begun a business relationship with the Ontario distributor to sell FASTRACK directly to all of our past and
future families so they too can reap the benefits we have found.
.
Below we have a simplified version of what probiatics and microbials are about
and where they came from...
.
The
concept of direct fed microbial supplements is not new. This method of preventing disease in humans and animals was published
in 1908 by the Russian scientist Metchnikoff. He attributed the exceptionally long lives of a population of people living
in Bulgaria to their diet. Metchnikoff believed that the large amounts of fermented milk products in the diet of this tribe,
and subsequently large amounts of the bacteria Bacillus bulgaricus, kept these people healthy long after other populations
had succumbed to age and disease.Richard Parker, a microbiology professor, Oregon Medical School, in the early 1960's first used the term "probiotic",
meaning 'for life'.The
use of antibiotics, 'killing life', depletes populations of bacteria that is causing illness. Unfortunately, antibiotics also
kill beneficial bacteria. Beneficial bacteria need to be replenished after doses of medications, stress, illness, injury and
environmental upsets.And
that is what FASTRACK® is all about: Replenishing beneficial bacteria. Probiotics FOR LIFE.The digestive system is an open door way for the rest
of the body to be nourished. Beneficial bacteria coat the digestive tract, breaking down food and nutrients into the building
blocks that can be absorbed by the body. When these colonies of beneficial bacteria are in the proper numbers, the balance
of microbials permits maximum absorption of nutrients, helps with efficient digestion and increases the body's ability to
ward off pathogenic bacteria. Another added benefit seems to be a boost to the immune system and the ability to ward off diseases.What happens if there are more pathogenic, or bad bacteria,
than good? This unequal balance can lead to observable problems such as diarrhea in dogs and cats. Animals who are not absorbing
the proper nutrients can look unhealthy, have under developed muscles and skeletal systems, lack drive and energy and have
the appearance of being "just not with it".Dogs and cats benefit from additional servings of direct fed microbials. Better absorption
of nutrients leads to less gas and bloat, higher puppy and kitten weights, better overall life enjoyment. Also consistent
growth, better hair coats, resistance to disease and over all better health are reported as a result of direct fed microbial
supplementation.When
your pets are under stress of transportation, performance events, shows, changes in diet/environment, illness or injury there
can be a depletion of the beneficial bacteria colonies.WHEN THE DELICATE BALANCE OF BENEFICIAL BACTERIA IS ALTERED, THE DOOR IS OPEN FOR PATHOGENIC
BACTERIA TO OVER POPULATE, CREATING DISEASE AND ILLNESS.Supplementation
with direct fed microbials stabilizes the pH of the intestinal tract, restores beneficial bacteria to the lining of the intestines
and increases absorption of nutrients.
We won't say your dog can play the banjo after taking
FASTRACK, but we'll bet they will feel like they could!!!
