A new website, Hormone Health for Dogs, provides clear, evidence-based resources on the role of hormones in canine development, behavior, and long-term health. The project’s goal is to educate and empower dog lovers to protect hormone function while also preventing homelessness through safer, hormone-sparing approaches to sterilization.

The Parsemus Foundation works closely with Dr. Peter Dobias and Dr. Karen Becker on these awareness-building efforts, supporting informed decision-making that balances individual animal health with community responsibility.

A study published in the journal Microorganisms found that diabetic dogs and cats given a specific probiotic strain saw up to a 61.8% drop in blood sugar, and some insulin-treated pets were able to lower their insulin doses. The findings support that diabetes isn’t just a pancreas problem, it’s also connected to gut health.

Multiple studies show that specific probiotic strains can support glucose regulation in dogs and cats. Evidence suggests certain species, particularly Bifidobacterium, followed by select Lactobacillus strains such as L. reuteri and L. rhamnosus, may help improve insulin signaling and insulin sensitivity. When the goal is better blood sugar control, these strains are the most evidence-supported to date and should always be used strategically alongside appropriate veterinary care.
