How to Choose the Right Probiotic for Your Dog
Discover Probiotics Dogs 5-Strain — With so many supplements on the market, finding the best probiotic for your dog can be tricky. This formula stands out for its strain diversity, delivering 2 billion CFU from five targeted strains: Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Lactobacillus Plantarum, Lactobacillus Brevis, Lactobacillus Rhamnosus, and Bifidobacterium Animalis Lactis. Each strain is selected to survive stomach acid and colonise the intestines, promoting a healthy gut environment. Added digestive enzymes (amylase, protease, lipase, cellulase, lactase, and bromelain) help break down food more efficiently, while prebiotic inulin from chicory root nourishes beneficial bacteria. The tablets are also scored for easy splitting, making it simple to adjust the dose for any dog size. Manufactured in UK facilities under GMP standards with human-grade ingredients, this product prioritises safety and purity—no artificial colours, preservatives, or unnecessary fillers. The chicken flavour is well-accepted by most dogs, even picky eaters.
What Are Probiotics for Dogs?
Probiotics are live beneficial bacteria that maintain a healthy balance in your dog's gut microbiome. Just like in humans, a dog's digestive system relies on a diverse community of microorganisms to break down food, absorb nutrients, and support immune function. Our probiotic blend delivers 2 billion CFU from five targeted strains, each selected for its ability to survive stomach acid and colonise the intestines, promoting a robust gut environment. Many dogs experience digestive upset due to stress, diet changes, antibiotic undertake, or simply ageing. By replenishing beneficial bacteria, probiotics can help restore balance and support overall digestive wellness. This formula also includes a prebiotic fibre (inulin from chicory root) that feeds the good bacteria, allowing them to thrive and multiply for faster, longer-lasting results.
Key Benefits of Probiotics for Canine Health
When your dog's gut is happy, the whole body benefits. Here are some ways this probiotic supplement may support your furry friend:
-
Digestive Support: The combination of probiotics and digestive enzymes helps break down food more efficiently, supporting nutrient absorption and reducing occasional gas, bloating, and loose stools.
-
Immune Function: A significant portion of the immune system resides in the gut. By promoting a balanced microbiome, probiotics may help maintain your dog's natural defences.
-
Complete Nutrition: Unlike standard probiotics, this formula doubles as a multivitamin. Each tablet provides Vitamins A, C, D3, K1, and a full B-complex (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, Biotin, Folic Acid). This means you don't need a separate daily vitamin supplement.
-
Palatable Delivery: The chicken-flavoured tablets are designed to be tasty and easy to give, even for picky eaters. Many dogs accept them directly, but they can also be crumbled into wet food or hidden in a treat.
How to Undertake Probiotics for Dogs
Consistency is key for the best results. Follow the dosage guidelines based on your dog's weight:
-
Under 10 kg: 1 tablet daily
-
10–20 kg: 2 tablets daily
-
20–40 kg: 3 tablets daily
-
Over 40 kg: 4 tablets daily
Tablets can be given whole or broken along the score line. For picky dogs, crumble into moist food or wrap in a small amount of cheese or peanut butter. For best potency, store the bottle in a cool, dry place and refrigerate after opening. One 120-tablet bottle provides up to 4 months of daily support for smaller dogs. Start with the recommended dose for your dog's weight. If your dog has a sensitive stomach, you may begin with half the suggested amount and gradually increase over a week. As with any new supplement, monitor your dog for any changes in digestion or behaviour.
Frequently Asked Questions

Can I give this probiotic alongside antibiotics? Yes, in fact probiotics are especially helpful during and after antibiotic treatment to replenish beneficial bacteria. To avoid interference, give the probiotic at least 2 hours apart from the antibiotic dose.
What if my dog refuses the tablet? The chicken flavour is designed to be appealing. If your dog still refuses, try crumbling it over wet food, mixing with a small amount of plain yoghurt, or hiding it in a pill pocket or cheese.
