A few days ago I attended a symposium where the topics of obesity and probiotics were discussed. It was an informative set of lectures. Let me give you a few facts relating to these subjects.
Obesity in dogs is a primary precursor to torn ligaments in the knees of dogs.

Probiotics are live cultures of bacteria that promote proper digestive function.
Probiotics typically resolve diarrhea through regulation of the population of bacteria in the gut.
