Frequently Asked Questions - DogSuppy

Probiotics are active microorganisms that your dog ingests, adding beneficial bacteria to your four-legged friend's gut. Therefore, they are 100% safe. Occasionally, some mild cramps may occur during the first two days as the intestines adapt. This will resolve itself quickly.

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that help maintain a healthy balance of gut flora in dogs. This helps to drive out bad bacteria, allowing the good bacteria to dominate. 

Probiotics are beneficial to dogs in several ways.

1. They help support healthy digestion by aiding nutrient absorption, boosting the immune system and helping with skin allergies.

2. DogSuppy has chosen to combine the probiotics with prebiotics, postbiotics and paraprobiotics in the same mixture.

This way we also provide 'food' for the good bacteria.

The supplements are formulated with flavours dogs love, such as chicken or bacon. 

Your dog may need some time to get used to the supplement, so you can try dividing the daily amount into two portions. This may make it easier for your dog to adjust to the taste and texture over time.

DogSuppy combines 3 different strains of probiotics to create a powerful blend for your dog's health. Each Itch Relief Probiotic chew contains 3 billion CFU of Prebiotics and Probiotics—twice the amount found in most brands. This means a powerful boost of good bacteria and nourishment for the beneficial bacteria in your dog’s gut.

We consciously choose to combine Pro-, Pre-, Post-, and Parabiotics. This ennsures not only the addition of beneficial bacteria but also the food needed to nourish them. Additionally, we include ingredients like Pectins and Zinc to further support your dog's gut health. This unique formula has led to very satisfied dog owners!

This formula is calculated based on the weight of your dog. 1 chewy should be given per 10 kg body weight. To summarize:

< 10kg : 1 chew/scoop per day

10 - 20kg : 2 chews/scoops per day

20 - 30 kg : 3 chews/scoops per day

> 30 kg : 4 chews/scoops per day

Each tub contains 60 chews or scoops.

How long 1 tub lasts:
Dogs under 10kg: 60 days
Dogs between 10-20 kg: 30 days
Dogs between 20-30kg: 20 days
Dogs over 30kg: 15 days

For optimal results, we recommend you to give the supplement daily for 2 months (60 days).

The most common signs that your dog may need probiotics include scratching, bad breath, diarrhoea, constipation, flatulence, or vomiting. If any of these symptoms persist for more than three days, it often indicates an issue with their digestive system. Other potential causes could include sudden changes in food, separation anxiety, long-term use of antibiotics, or stressful experiences.

It's important to monitor what your dog eats and any changes in their environment. If you suspect your dog may need probiotics, it’s worth considering a solution.

You will see both short and long term effects. In the short term (2-3 days) you will likely see improvement in that their stool will be more consistent. After about a week, other improvements such as more energy, improved coat and fewer allergy flare ups will typically be seen.

Certainly! All the ingredients we use in our supplements have been chosen with care, and are backed by the latest science.

In addition, our products are produced in a GMP+ certified environment that complies 100% with United Kingdom regulations.

Of course, antibiotics have their benefits in specific situations. However, it’s important to recognise the drawbacks of antibiotic use. Antibiotics not only eliminate harmful bacteria but also destroy the beneficial bacteria in the gut, which is why diarrhoea often follows a course of antibiotics. Additionally, frequent and unnecessary use of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance, making certain strains ineffective in the future—for both humans and animals. This is why it’s crucial to support gut health with probiotics before, during, and after antibiotic use.

No, it is best to store all of our products in a cool, dark and dry place, avoiding direct sunlight and keeping the lid securely closed.

It’s best to give the chews to your dog on an empty stomach where possible. This allows the active ingredients to pass through the stomach and reach the gut quicker. The longer it stays in the stomach, the fewer beneficial bacteria may survive the journey to the gut. 

If your dog is fussy, it is also possible to mix the chews in with their breakfast, or hide in their favourite treats.

For powder supplements like Dental Bright, it is given with food by sprinkling on top.

Please always ensure that your dog has plenty of water readily available.
