As a holistic veterinarian, I’m always looking for natural ways to support our pets’ digestive and immune health. One of my favorite options is ProSynbiotic by Standard Process. This simple supplement can make a big difference for dogs with sensitive digestion, skin problems, or low immune resilience.
Let’s go over how it works, what’s inside, and how to use it safely for your dog.
What is ProSynbiotic?
ProSynbiotic is a blend of probiotics (beneficial bacteria) and prebiotics (fiber that feeds those bacteria). Together, they help create a balanced, healthy gut environment.
Although it’s labeled for humans, I’ve used this product safely for many dogs. The formula supports gut health, nutrient absorption, and immune balance without harsh additives or fillers.
A healthy gut microbiome does more than just aid digestion. It helps regulate inflammation, supports hormone balance, and even influences your dog’s mood and energy. When the gut is balanced, the whole body feels better.
You can order ProSynbiotic directly from Journeys Holistic Life, where I provide high-quality Standard Process supplements with guidance tailored to your dog’s needs.
Key Benefits of ProSynbiotic for Dogs
Here’s how this supplement helps support your dog’s health from the inside out:
- Better digestion: Reduces gas, bloating, and soft stool by balancing gut bacteria.
- Stronger immunity: About 70 percent of your dog’s immune system lives in the gut. Supporting this area helps your dog resist infections and recover faster.
- Healthier skin and coat: Improved nutrient absorption means a shinier coat and fewer dry, itchy spots.
- Nutrient utilization: Helps your dog’s body absorb calcium, vitamins, and amino acids more effectively.
- Gentle daily support: Safe for long-term use in dogs of any age or breed.
Many pet parents notice subtle improvements within a few weeks—smaller stools, less itching, and a more settled tummy.
The Ingredients That Make It Work
Each capsule combines trusted probiotic strains with plant-based prebiotic fiber:
- Inulin (from chicory root): A natural prebiotic fiber that feeds good bacteria and supports calcium absorption.
- Saccharomyces boulardii: A beneficial yeast used to calm diarrhea and support gut balance after antibiotics.
- Lactobacillus acidophilus: A well-known probiotic that supports digestion and nutrient absorption.
- Lactobacillus paracasei: Helps balance intestinal flora and supports immune response.
- Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis: Aids digestion and promotes overall wellness.
These ingredients work together to restore and maintain healthy gut flora, supporting your dog’s body from the inside out.
How It Helps with Common Dog Health Issues
Many of the dogs I see benefit from ProSynbiotic as part of a broader wellness plan. Here are a few examples:
- Digestive problems: Loose stool, constipation, or gas often improve when beneficial bacteria are restored.
- Immune challenges: Dogs recovering from illness or chronic skin problems often show better immune balance with gut support.
- Nutrient absorption issues: Seniors or dogs with long-term digestive imbalance may have trouble absorbing nutrients; probiotics can help.
For dogs dealing with inflammation, food sensitivities, or poor healing, I sometimes combine ProSynbiotic with cold laser therapy. Laser therapy increases circulation and reduces inflammation in the gut and other tissues, helping the body heal more efficiently.
If your dog struggles with chronic digestive or immune issues, an online holistic pet consultation allows me to design a customized plan with nutrition, supplements, and therapy recommendations.
Dosage and How to Give It
Here’s a simple guide based on your dog’s weight:
| Dog Size | Daily Dose |
|---|---|
| Small (1-20 lbs) | ½ capsule |
| Medium (21-50 lbs) | 1 capsule |
| Large (51 lbs +) | 2 capsules |
Open the capsule and sprinkle the powder onto food. Mixing it into wet food, bone broth, or a favorite treat ensures the full dose is eaten.
Tips for best results:
- Give it with a meal to reduce stomach sensitivity.
- Store the bottle in a cool, dry place.
- Introduce gradually if your dog has never had probiotics before.
Possible Side Effects and Safety
ProSynbiotic is very gentle. Occasionally, dogs may experience mild gas or soft stool for the first few days as the gut adjusts. This is usually temporary.
Safety reminders:
- Always follow the recommended dose.
- Stop the supplement if you see vomiting, persistent diarrhea, or other changes, and contact your vet.
- For pregnant or lactating dogs, check with your veterinarian first.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
My Holistic Takeaway
A balanced gut supports the entire body—from the immune system to the skin and brain. ProSynbiotic by Standard Process is one of the easiest, safest ways to give your dog that foundation.
I often include it in wellness plans for both healthy dogs and those recovering from chronic conditions. It works beautifully alongside whole-food nutrition, cold laser therapy, and lifestyle changes like exercise and hydration.
If you’d like personalized dosing, food recommendations, or help integrating supplements safely, I offer online holistic consultations for pet parents across the country.
