Question:

My dog has Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and has been on antibiotics almost every other month. I am concerned that this is also killing off the good bacteria in his stomach. Should I give him Wysong AddLife?

Answer

Antibiotics do kill the healthy or "friendly" bacteria in the digestive system, so you would be wise to supplement with a probiotic.  While Wysong AddLife is an excellent supplement for dogs on a processed diet (like dry kibble), it may not provide enough probiotic enhancement for a dog on antibiotics as often as yours.  In addition to the AddLife (which would be beneficial if your dog is eating a processed diet), you may want to consider additional probiotic support such as the Wysong Pet Inoculant or NF Spectra Probiotic.
