Explanation:
When animals are placed in kennels and also re-homed, they suffer a lot of stress, just like us humans do when things suddenly change. The first thing that normally goes wrong is the digestive system suffers. That is why the use of probiotics is mentioned, as that helps to stabilise the animal's digestion and is also helpful in building up their immunity system.
