Protect - Soil-Based Probiotics

A healthy dog starts with a healthy gut. But modern dogs are missing out on the benefits from healthy soils. Factory farming, pesticides, herbicides and indoor living can all rob dogs of the riches found in dirt!

Protect restores the earth to your dog with a healthy blend of soil-based probiotics, clays and naturally occurring molecules from healthy soils (humic/fulvic acid). It's the natural way to support a healthy gut in dogs exposed to heavy metals, pesticides and other environmental toxins.

Soil-Based Probiotics

These probiotics (Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus coagulans) are proven, robust species that form a protective outer shell when exposed to heat and acids, making them more likely to survive and colonize. Supports a healthy gut and mucous lining.

Saccharomyces boulardii

This probiotic yeast is resistant to antibiotics and pesticides. Supports healthy digestion and gastric distress.

Certified Organic Wild Blueberry Powder

Wild Blueberries can help maintain a healthy gut flora, support healthy brain function and help decrease oxidative damage.

Bentonite Clay, Chlorella, Humic & Fulvic Acid

Chosen for their ability to support dogs from exposure to heavy metals and environmental toxins. 

Organic Dandelion & Burdock Root

Functional prebiotics that support a healthy gut.

Give orally daily or as directed by your veterinarian.

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. 

Can I give my puppy Protect?

In most cases, if you have a new puppy, it’s 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. 

Why does Protect contain fewer bacteria than other probiotics? 

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. 

I think my dog has leaky gut, should I give him Protect? 

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. 

Will Protect help my dog’s digestive upset? 

Yes, Protect contains probiotics that have a proven track record in supporting gut and digestive health. If you don’t 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.  

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. 

Probiotics are live organisms that provide health benefits. These beneficial bacteria have a few key jobs in your dog’s 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?  

You can expect a natural variation in color in Protect due to the bentonite clay and other earthy ingredients. It’s 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 can’t store it in your fridge, just be sure to keep in a cool, dark place and use the jar within 30 days of opening.
