What Are Probiotics and Why Do Dogs Need Them?

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that help support a healthy balance of gut flora, which plays a role in digestion, stool quality and general wellbeing.

Signs Your Dog Might Benefit from a Probiotic...

Digestive upset: Occasional loose stools, gas or an unsettled tummy can sometimes be linked to an imbalanced gut.

After a course of medication: Antibiotics can disrupt natural gut bacteria, so a probiotic alongside or after a course may help support recovery.

Skin and coat concerns: Gut health and skin condition are closely linked, so some owners find probiotic support helps alongside a skin and coat routine.

Choosing the Right Probiotic for Your Dog

Sprays for topical care: Probiotic sprays can support skin, ears, dental hygiene and wound care from the outside.

Powders and supplements for gut health: Added to food, these are designed to support digestion and gut balance from within.

If digestion is the main concern, take a look at our Digestion collection, or pair with our Skin & Coat range for all-round support.

What's the difference between a probiotic added to food and a probiotic spray?

Probiotic Concentrate is added to your dog's food to support gut health and normal digestion from within. The Lucaa+ probiotic sprays (Skin, Ear, Eye, Dental, Wound Care) are topical, using probiotics that activate on the skin's surface to help balance bacteria in that specific area - so the right one depends on where you're wanting support.

My dog has bad breath and occasional wind - could a probiotic help?

Probiotic Concentrate for Dogs is a gluten-free daily supplement many owners use to support healthy digestion, and reduced breath odour and wind are common things people notice with regular use.Tum Ease is a herbal tincture that would work well with Probiotic Concentrate and is particularly popular for ‘windy’ dogs and those with digestive issues. 

What is Proflax Tummy Tastic used for?

Tummy Tastic is a digestive supplement designed to support gut health and the immune system as part of your dog's everyday routine.

Are the Lucaa+ probiotic sprays suitable for cats too?

Yes, the Lucaa+ range (Skin, Ear, Eye, Dental and Wound Care sprays) is suitable for both dogs and cats.

Can I use more than one Lucaa+ probiotic spray at once?

Yes, the Lucaa+ sprays are designed for different areas - skin, ears, eyes, teeth and wounds - so it's fine to use more than one if your pet needs support in more than one area. Do bear in mind that if you are using a probiotic spray then you should not use anything anti-bacterial at the same time. The Lucaa Sprays introduce lots of positive ‘good bacteria’ so the last thing you want to do is kill them with an anti-bacterial product. It is worth noting that natural ingredients can also be anti-bacterial so it is worth checking with us first if in doubt.
