The term probiotic refers to various fibers that support the development of a stable gut microbiome. Optiballast Entereal is considered a prebiotic, meaning it serves as food for gut bacteria, and consists of cellulose, psyllium husk, and pectin. These three plant fibers are classified as dietary fiber. Even though dogs and cats do not have their own enzymes for breaking down dietary fiber, pectin can be converted by intestinal bacteria in the large intestine, and cellulose helps to solidify the stool by binding water.
