🐶💩 NEW 2026 STUDY: NEARLY 8 IN 10 DOGS WITH CHRONIC GUT PROBLEMS GOT SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER WITH PROBIOTICS + PSYLLIUM HUSK!

And researchers used as little as ½ tablespoon of psyllium husk daily! 🌱

🔬 A new peer-reviewed clinical study involving 56 dogs investigated treatments for chronic intestinal problems.

HERE’S WHAT RESEARCHERS FOUND: 👇

🐾 78% IMPROVED: 7 of 9 dogs receiving probiotics + psyllium husk achieved clinical remission in just 4 weeks, meaning their digestive symptoms improved to a low level!

🐾 NO ANTIBIOTICS: Dogs receiving the probiotic-and-fiber combination improved without antibiotics during this treatment phase.

🐾 62% LOWER GUT INFLAMMATION MARKERS: Researchers measured a substantial reduction in a marker associated with intestinal inflammation.

🌱 HOW MUCH PSYLLIUM HUSK DID THEY USE?

🐕 Small dogs: 1½ teaspoons daily (½ tablespoon)
🐕 Medium dogs: 3 teaspoons daily (1 tablespoon)
🐕 Large dogs: 3 teaspoons daily (1 tablespoon)

These are study amounts, not universal dosing recommendations. Psyllium absorbs water and helps regulate stool consistency.

🦠 LOOKING FOR A PROBIOTIC FOR YOUR DOG?

Dr. Karen Becker’s Primitive Probiotics™ combines beneficial microorganisms, including dog-sourced and ancestral wolf-derived strains, to support digestive health and a balanced gut microbiome.

WHAT’S INSIDE? Saccharomyces boulardii, a beneficial yeast studied for diarrhea; Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, studied for gut barrier support; and resilient probiotics like Bacillus subtilis and B. clausii. Plus, dog-sourced and ancestral wolf-derived strains selected to support gut microbial diversity, and organic pumpkin for gentle, whole-food fiber!

A healthy gut plays an important role in digestion, immune function, and overall well-being. Persistent digestive problems deserve veterinary attention.

Before you only look at the behavior, look at the whole dog. 🧠

The gut and brain communicate continuously through the gut-brain axis. That means behavior can’t be separated from the rest of the picture: nutrition, digestion, stress, environment, physical health, exercise, and training all play a part.

A balanced, appropriate diet is one piece of supporting healthy digestion and overall well-being. It isn’t the only piece, but it’s one worth examining.
