Item Details

Formulated by Dr. Karen Becker with three distinct microbial ecosystems that create a resilient, well-adapted, and functional gut flora


Product Information

  • Most pet probiotics are not truly dog‑specific, often using human strains that are poorly adapted to the canine digestive tract, immune system, bile environment, and body temperature.
  • PRIMITIVE PROBIOTICS™ uses species-aligned, healthy microbes sourced from wild canids, healthy domestic dogs, and soil-based organisms—mirroring how dogs naturally evolved to acquire beneficial bacteria.
  • A three‑ecosystem approach restores microbial diversity, combining ancestral strains, modern canine strains, and resilient soil‑based organisms to create a stable, functional, and adaptable gut microbiome.
  • Clinically studied strains deliver targeted benefits, including improved stool quality, reduced diarrhea and gas, stronger immunity, calmer behavior, allergy relief, and better resilience after antibiotics or stress.
  • The formula is science‑backed, safe, and results‑driven, third‑party tested, free from fillers and prebiotics, suitable for all life stages, and designed specifically for the modern dog’s biological needs.
  • Many microbiome-damaging insults disrupt serotonin production in the gut, making anxiety and behavior problems worse. This is the first veterinary-formulated product that blends LP815, a patented, calming strain, with S. boulardii, the strain recommended for use during antibiotic therapy to reduce microbiome damage.


Directions of Use

Sprinkle the recommended amount directly onto food or a snack once daily.

For dogs with sensitive stomachs, start with half the suggested dose for the first few days and gradually increase to a full dose.

If using during antibiotic therapy, give the probiotic at least 4 hours before or after antibiotics to help protect beneficial bacteria. (based on 1 Billion CFU per 1.5 g serving)
