PetLab Co. Probiotic Chews for Dogs

A probiotic chew most dogs accept, with clear labeling and a cost that climbs for large dogs.

The short version

Buy it if
  • Owners of small dogs, where one chew a day makes a tub last a month
  • Dogs that refuse powders but take treats
  • Owners who want named strains and CFU counts on the label
Skip it if
  • Your dog is on an elimination diet that rules out pork
  • You have several large dogs and need a low cost option
  • Your dog is pregnant, since the maker says safe use in pregnant animals is not proven

What owners like

  • Most dogs eat the chews readily, even as a stand alone snack
  • Clear labeling of strains and CFU counts
  • Shelf stable chews are easy to give

Common complaints

  • Gets expensive for large dogs or several dogs, since one tub can last only 10 days
  • Results can take weeks to judge, and some owners wanted faster change
  • A few dogs had mild stomach upset in the first days

Based on the maker's product page, an independent dachshund owner blog, a probiotic review site, and a sponsored Petful review that the publisher discloses as paid content.

What it does

A tub of 30 pork flavored soft chews for dogs that combine probiotics, prebiotics and a yeast postbiotic.

  • Soft chew format given once a day by dog weight
  • Probiotic, prebiotic and postbiotic ingredients in one chew
  • Inactive ingredients include pork liver, sweet potato, chickpea and coconut oil
  • Maker markets it for gut health support
  • Reviewed as suitable for dogs over 12 weeks old

A good fit for owners who want a probiotic their dog will take like a treat, with named strains and a stated CFU count on the label. The main trade-off is cost: dogs over 25 lbs need two or three chews a day, so a tub runs out fast in big or multi dog homes.
