The primary bacterial populations included in probiotics that are seen to benefit the cat and dog are lactic acid bacteria, especially Lactobacilli, Bifidobacteria and Enterococci. These bacteria use fermentation to transform some sugars into organic acids, particularly lactic and acetic acids. These acids serve to lower the pH in the intestinal tract and inhibit the growth of bad bacteria.
