Dog Health
- 70% of the body's immune cells are located in the gut, therefore, a healthy digestive system is crucial for overall health and well-being
- Studies show that a dog’s gut health may impact their brain function and mental health
- Stress and anxiety can impact your dog’s gut health too
Impact Of Stress On The Gut-Brain Axis
- Microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and yeasts, exist in large numbers in the digestive system, forming the gut microbiome
- The gut microbiome needs to function in a balanced environment to ensure optimal digestion and absorption of nutrients to support a healthy immune system
- The gut-brain axis is a physiological relationship between the gut and the central nervous system, meaning the microbiome of the gut can directly affect the nervous system
- A more balanced gut microbiome can impact your pet's mood, anxiety levels, and response to stress
A Balanced Gut Is A Happy Gut
- Studies have shown that certain strains of probiotics can have a positive impact on a dog's reaction to stress by changing the gut microbiome
- Using a mix of prebiotics, calming probiotic strains, and postbiotics can aid in re-establishing a balanced gut microbiome and avoiding harmful bacteria from outnumbering beneficial bacteria
- The unique formula incorporates 4 calming probiotic strains, as well as prebiotics and postbiotics, to enhance gut health and support a healthy nervous system for overall wellness
Key Claims
- The probiotics, prebiotics and postbiotics, are shown to enhance the balance of microorganisms in the digestive tract
- Supports intestinal health, general wellbeing, and helps ease signs of anxiety
Specially Formulated For:
- Daily use for dogs showing signs of anxiety, including: separation anxiety, environmental anxiety (new environments, loud noises), and social anxiety (due to other dogs or unfamiliar people)
- Suitable for general gut health

Specially Formulated With:
1. Prebiotic (Inulin)
- Inulin is derived from chicory and is a key source of non-digestible fibre that serves as food for beneficial bacteria
- The bacteria then produce short chain fatty acids that help protect the gut
2. Probiotics (2 Billion CFU/serve)*
- Lactobacillus plantarum: supports a healthy gut and may help alleviate stress, anxiety, and acute diarrhoea
- Bifidobacterium longum: aids skin and gut health, and may decrease signs of stress and anxiety
- Lactobacillus helveticus: supports cognitive function
- Lactobacillus rhamnosus: promotes immunity, a healthy gut, and may calm your dog in stressful circumstances
3. Postbiotic (0.2 Billion cells/serve)
- Lactobacillus acidophillus: aids cognitive function, gut health and healthy weight maintenance
How Soon Will Results Be Noticeable?
- While the effects of a probiotic supplement can vary, it may take a few days to two months for your pet to experience the benefits
- Probiotics work by increasing the population of beneficial bacteria in the gut and reducing harmful bacteria - this process takes time
- It's important to be patient and continue giving your dog the recommended daily dose for at least 2 months
- If symptoms persist, seek advice from your veterinarian

Note
- Probiotic supplements take precedence over yoghurt as a natural food source of probiotics because dairy products have a high lactose content that may cause intestinal distress
- *CFU refers to ‘Colony Forming Units’ and represents the number of living/viable microorganisms in one serving of probiotic supplement. It is an indicator of probiotic quality to ensure your dog receives a high enough number of live bacteria per serve to improve the balance of good bacteria in the gut
Side Effects
- The purpose of probiotics for dogs is to restore balance in their gut and prevent bad bacteria from overpowering beneficial bacteria
- This balancing process can take time, and your dog may experience temporary digestive adjustments such as flatulence, loose stools, or diarrhoea
- These adjustments are normal as the gut transitions to a healthier microbiome and indicate that the probiotics are working
- If digestive symptoms persist, stop giving probiotics for 2 days to allow the gut to settle, then restart with half the recommended daily dose for 3 days before increasing to the standard dose
- Consult your vet if symptoms persist
