If you share your home with a Savannah, Bengal, Chausie, or other hybrid cat, you already know they’re not your average feline. These magnificent animals bridge the gap between wild and domestic—and their nutritional needs reflect that unique heritage.

Why Standard Cat Probiotics Fall Short

Most commercial cat probiotics are formulated based on research done with domestic shorthairs and longhairs. While these products work well for typical house cats, hybrid cats have: • Higher protein requirements (often 40-50% of diet) • More sensitive digestive systems when transitioning foods • Different gut microbiome composition closer to wild felids • Greater enzyme needs for raw and whole-prey diets

What to Look for in a Hybrid Cat Probiotic

1. CFU Count Matters Look for products with at least 2-5 billion CFUs per serving. Hybrid cats have faster metabolisms and need higher concentrations. 2. Strain Diversity Multiple probiotic strains work synergistically. Key strains for carnivores include: – Lactobacillus acidophilus – Bifidobacterium animalis – Bacillus coagulans – Enterococcus faecium 3. Digestive Enzymes Protease, lipase, and amylase help break down the high-protein, high-fat diets hybrid cats thrive on. 4. No Fillers or Grains Hybrid cats are obligate carnivores with minimal need for plant matter. Avoid products with corn, wheat, soy, or excessive fiber.

When to Use Probiotics

Consider daily probiotic supplementation if your hybrid cat: – Eats a raw or home-prepared diet – Has a history of digestive upset – Is under stress (travel, new environment, breeding) – Has recently taken antibiotics – Shows signs of food sensitivities
