“My Cavoodle absolutely loves these! Her breath smells so much fresher, and the probiotics have really helped with her sensitive tummy. She gets one every night after dinner - it has become her favourite part of the day.”

How Probiotics Keep Dogs Healthy
True wellness starts in the gut, not only with what your dog chews, but with how they digest and absorb nutrients. The balance of good bacteria in their gut plays a major role in everything from breath freshness to immune strength.
That is why we created our Probiotic Dental Chews. They support digestion, fresh breath, cleaner teeth, and stronger gums at every stage of life. In this guide you will discover how probiotics work and how to use them to keep your dog feeling great inside and out.
Why Gut Health and Oral Health Are Connected
When you think of dental health you probably picture teeth and gums, but it actually starts in the gut. The digestive system is home to trillions of bacteria that regulate immunity, nutrient absorption, and inflammation.
If those gut bacteria become unbalanced, bad breath, plaque build up, and gum irritation can follow. Probiotic dental chews work from the inside out by helping maintain a healthy microbiome that supports both digestion and oral health.
Why Dogs Need Probiotics as They Age
- Digestive changes: As dogs grow older, their gut flora naturally shifts and can be less efficient at breaking down food.
- Gum and tooth sensitivity: Older dogs are more prone to gum irritation. Probiotics can help by moderating inflammation.
- Immune support: A balanced gut microbiome strengthens your dog’s immune system and overall resilience.
3 Simple Tips to Get the Most from Probiotic Dental Chews
1. Be consistent
Offer one chew daily or as recommended. Regular use allows beneficial bacteria to multiply and stay active in your dog’s gut.
2. Pair with good habits
- Always provide clean, fresh water.
- Schedule vet dental checkups regularly.
- Feed a balanced diet without excessive fillers or additives.
3. Watch for results
Improved digestion, fresher breath, and cleaner teeth are all signs the probiotics are doing their job. If you notice gum redness or digestive changes, speak with your vet to adjust your dog’s care routine.
