In this enlightening conversation, Moddie Lambert from the Raw Feeding Veterinary Society (RFVS) welcomes Joe Flanagan of Ingenious Probiotics to explore the often-overlooked world of the external microbiome - and its crucial role in your pet’s health.
They unpack what topical probiotics are, how they differ from gut probiotics, and why they’re essential for skin, ear, and dental health.
Joe explains how modern cleaning and grooming habits - often filled with antibacterial products - can unintentionally wipe out the good microbes that pets need to stay healthy. Instead, topical probiotics take a pro-life, microbial approach, helping to outcompete harmful bacteria while reducing allergens and inflammation.
From ear infections and skin allergies to indoor air quality and floor cleaning, they discuss how probiotic solutions can reduce chemical exposure and protect pets more naturally. The chat is filled with helpful analogies and a genuine passion for supporting pets holistically.
Perfect for raw feeders, pet parents, and anyone interested in microbiome-friendly living.
