Premium Ingredients
Bacillus subtilis is a probiotic bacteria found in soil and the canine gut. B. subtilis is known for its ability to support a healthy gut microbiome, enhance digestive health and support immune function. It produces byproducts that can help suppress harmful bacteria, promote the growth of beneficial bacteria and assist with nutrient absorption. Additionally, Bacillus subtilis has been associated with digestive enzyme production, aiding in the digestion of food and the supporting against gastrointestinal disorders.
Soil-based probiotics, like Bacillus subtilis, are often considered superior to other probiotics due to their exceptional resilience and ability to survive the acidic environment of the stomach, ensuring they reach the intestines where they can be most beneficial. Their inherent stability means they don't require refrigeration and maintain potency over time and their robust nature allows for a potentially broader impact on the gut microbiome.
Bacillus coagulans is a soil-based probiotic that supports gut health by enhancing the balance of the intestinal microbiota, contributing to improved digestion and reducing symptoms of occasional bloating, gas, and diarrhea. It also supports the immune system by producing short-chain fatty acids, which are crucial for gut health and the natural resistance against chronic diseases.

Saccharomyces boulardii is a probiotic yeast that has been shown to support gut health, especially during antibiotic use, travel and infections. It helps maintain the natural flora in the gastrointestinal tract, enhancing immune function and a balanced inflammatory response in the gut.
Wild Blueberries contain more antioxidants than other berries and are very rich in a specific antioxidant called anthocyanins, which support a healthy heart and brain. Blueberries also help maintain a healthy gut flora and help decreaseĀ oxidative damage. We choose organic blueberries to minimize exposure to synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, providing a safer and healthier option for your dog.
Bentonite clay is a natural detoxifier that helps the body remove toxins and heavy metals from the body. It is known to bind to toxins and metals in the gut, supporting a healthy microbiome.
Chlorella pyrenoidosa, a species of freshwater algae, is highly regarded for being a rich source of antioxidants. It supports immune function, aids in detoxification by binding to heavy metals and other toxins for elimination from the body, and supports gut health due to its high fiber content. Additionally, its antioxidant properties may help reduce oxidative stress.

Humic acid is a natural component of soil and a byproduct of the decomposition of leaves and other plant material by soil-based microorganisms. Humic acid supports a healthy gut and helps detoxify from heavy metals and environmental toxins. It also supplies antioxidants and supports the immune system.
Like humic acid, fulvic acid is a part of the organic matter in soil, peat and water. Fulvic acid helps detoxify from heavy metals and environmental toxins, enhances nutrient absorption, supports healthy skin and provides antioxidants.
Dandelion root is renowned for its liver-supporting and detoxifying properties, aiding in the removal of toxins and promoting liver health. It also acts as a natural diuretic, helping to manage fluid retention and support kidney function. Rich in antioxidants, dandelion root can further contribute to a normal inflammatory response.
Burdock root supports healthy skin and is also rich in antioxidants, which neutralize harmful free radicals. Burdock root also supports liver function and digestion, thanks to its inulin content, a type of soluble fiber that supports healthy gut bacteria.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I give my dog Protect daily?
Yes! Protect is a veterinarian formulated soil-based probiotic blend made for daily use.
We made Protect to support a healthy gut and immune system, while helping your dog detoxify from everyday pesticide and toxin exposure. Protect is a great choice as a daily preventive plan for good health.Ā
Can I give my puppy Protect?
In most cases, if you have a new puppy, itās best to focus on fresh whole food nutrition for a good start to life. But in some cases, probiotics can be helpful. If your puppy is changing from a processed diet, then a probiotic can help support good digestion.Ā
Why does Protect contain fewer bacteria than other probiotics?Ā
Soil-based probiotics are spore-forming, which means they can form a hard coating that protects them from the high heat and stomach acids that typically damage most probiotics. It also helps them colonize in the colon where they belong, not in the small intestine.Ā
I think my dog has leaky gut, should I give him Protect?Ā
We recommend Gut Guard if you wish to support a normal gut lining. Gut Guard is a veterinarian formulated blend of gut friendly ingredients that can help support a normal inflammatory response. Gut Guard also contains spore-forming probiotics, which form a protective shell when stressed and are more likely to survive and colonize than other species. Protect is certainly gut friendly, but Gut Guard will offer more support for the gut lining.Ā
Will Protect help my dogās digestive upset?Ā
Yes, Protect contains probiotics that have a proven track record in supporting gut and digestive health. If you donāt have success with Protect, try Bifido For Fido instead. (Take advantage of our 30 day money back guarantee). While Protect is a daily probiotic, BFF is a multi-strain probiotic for occasional digestive upset.Ā Ā
How do I know if my dog needs probiotics?
Since 80% of the immune system lives in the gut, most dogs can benefit from probiotics.Ā
Probiotics are live organisms that provide health benefits. These beneficial bacteria have a few key jobs in your dogās body. Gut bacteria can help:
- Digest food
- Produce key vitamins (including Vitamin K and Vitamin B)
- Produce serotonin and influence mood
- Produce enzymes
- Reduce the gut pH
- Crowd out harmful bacteria
- Produce fatty acids that discourage the growth of harmful bacteria
- Support the immune system
What is Saccharomyces boulardii?
Saccharomyces boulardii is considered a probiotic because it benefits the gut and immune system like a probiotic. But it's actually a healthy yeast, not a bacterium.
As a probiotic yeast, S. boulardii is much less susceptible to gut-stressing drugs and chemicals than probiotic bacteria are.
I noticed white specs in the blend, what causes this?
Protect has little white specks, which are the probiotics and prebiotics.
Why is my jar of Protect a different color than the last one?Ā Ā
You can expect a natural variation in color in Protect due to the bentonite clay and other earthy ingredients. Itās perfectly normal.
Should I keep Protect in the fridge?
If you have room, we recommend keeping Protect in the fridge. While the soil-based probiotics are shelf stable, the Saccharomyces boulardii is more fragile. If you canāt store it in your fridge, just be sure to keep in a cool, dark place and use the jar within 30 days of opening.
