Product Description

Probios Dispersible Powder is a probiotic supplement that supports the digestive system by helping restore the normal microbial balance in the gut and overall health of the animal when given to animals during or after times of stress. Dogs are exposed to many stresses that can result in lack of appetite, diarrhea, and other intestinal upsets. These stresses may include:

  • Transportation ~ Some dogs can become extremely agitated when traveling by car or plane which.
  • Intensive Training ~ Training for Obedience, Schutzhund, Agility, Personal Protection, and Police Service puts considerable stress on the dog.
  • Competition Dogs ~ The excitement of the competition, along with traveling, and exposure to strange dogs and people, can create a nervous stress in dogs, frequently manifested by reduced appetite, vomiting and diarrhea.
  • Boarding ~ Lack of appetite or nervous diarrhea are common in some dogs when boarded in a strange kennel.
  • Antibiotic Therapy ~ Antibiotics can destroy pathogenic microorganisms as well as the beneficial bacteria that are normally found in an animal's digestive tract.
  • Post-Parvo Virus Infections ~ Parvo virus infection in dogs is a devastating disease of the small intestine in susceptible dogs causing enormous stress on the dogs digestive system.
  • Post-Surgery ~ High doses of antibiotics are often used to reduce the possibility of heavy contamination during surgery. This frequently lowers populations of beneficial bacteria as well. In addition, antibiotics are used after surgery, which can alter the physiological activity of the gut and allow the intestinal microbial population to become unbalanced.
  • Chronic Diarrhea ~ Many times, the etiology of chronic diarrhea is unknown, and the animal won't respond to usual therapy.
  • Post-Whelping ~ To maintain appetite and good milk flow, give Probiotic to bitches, especially "nervous mommas" and first time whelpers.
  • Newborn Pups ~ The neonatal period for the newborn pup is a critical time for survival. Normally, newborns quickly acquire bacteria from their mother and surrounding environment, many of which are potential pathogens such as E. coli. Therefore, it is desirable to establish early colonization of the intestinal tract with beneficial bacteria, especially if the pups become orphaned.
  • Geriatric Dogs ~ Digestive problems are fairly common in older pets, including reduced appetite, diarrhea and constipation. Probiotics helps reduce the occurrence of digestive problems due to old age.
  • Other Uses ~ There are many other situations in which dogs may benefit from Probiotics, such as excessively nervous or "high-strung" breeds, injured animals or during exposure to weather extremes.

I have a Goldendoodle that took months to find a food that wouldn't make her sick. She has an allergy to something in most dog foods. After finding the right food we noticed her breathe was really really smelly. We stopped taking her for card rides and could smell her breath from across the room when she was panting. After being on the probios for 3 days, her breath was back to normal! Such a great product!

I have a very, very old poodle in declining health. He has had diarrhea almost continually for the last 18 months or so. The only effective treatment has been a probiotic supplement added to his food, which has significantly reduced the frequency of diarrhea. For about a year I bought Purina Fortiflora from the vet at a cost of around $40 a month. After I lost my job I did some investigation online to see if I could find a less expensive alternative. I looked at several products of varying credibility and settled on Probios dispersible powder. It seemed to have a better reputation and scientific credentials than others I found. It also cost less than half of what I was paying for Fortiflora. And it contains four different species of bacteria as opposed to just one species in Fortiflora. The number of species didn't matter to me so much as the fact that some online references said that the one species chosen for Fortiflora (Enterococcus faecium) may not be the safest choice. Probios uses E. faecium too, but also three Lactobacillus species. Anyway, the bottom line is that Probios works even better than Fortiflora. I've switched over completely from Fortiflora to Probios, and Buddy now has loose stools only once or twice a month, and actual diarrhea less than once a month. Also Probios comes in a jar with a measuring spoon, which is a lot easier to deal with than the fussy little individual packets of Fortiflora.
