There is a growing appreciation of the health benefits of probiotics for both adults and children, but did you know that probiotics are also important to the health of our furry family members? Holistic veterinarians have been supporting their animal
Natren uses only live bacteria super strains chosen for their effectiveness in aiding digestion.

patients’ gastrointestinal health with natural probiotics for pets and livestock for years.
As in humans, the gastrointestinal tract of an animal is home to a diverse population of beneficial bacteria that help maintain general health and wellness. The proper balance of healthy bacteria is very important to dogs, cats, horses, livestock, and even birds.
Adding a pet probiotic to your animal’s diet boosts levels of helpful bacteria in its digestive tract and helps to keep its gastrointestinal microflora balanced for optimum digestion. Probiotics for pets and livestock are also known as direct fed microbials, or DFMs.
Natren’s convenient gel formula probiotic for dogs, CANINEDOPHILUS, and gel probiotic for cats, FELINEDOPHILUS, are especially helpful to maintain healthy intestinal flora. EQUIFLORA gel probiotic for horses supports the intestinal health of pet, show and working horses.
The gel carrier that enrobes the pet probiotics was developed by a German veterinarian. The gel (not the probiotics) is designed to be stable in temperatures up to 140ºF to protect the probiotic bacteria from heat and moisture in the outside environment, as well as from gastric juices in your pet’s stomach.
The gel probiotic contains a special microorganism, Enterococcus faecium. E. faecium is monitored by a German government agency for safety, and is exclusively available in the Natren gel probiotic for animals. Natren has added our own unique L. acidophilus NAS strain to this gel to give your pet a unique combination of the gel matrix and two beneficial bacteria.
Most pets love the probiotic gel and will wait happily for you to give it to them. You can have your pet lick it off your finger or off the dispenser. For the fussy pet, put it on their nose for them to lick off.
Natren also offers a powder pet probiotic, GASTRO VEGIDOPHILUS®, specially formulated to support the digestive health of cats, dogs, horses, birds, and all show, working, and farm animals. EQUIFLORA, CANINEDOPHILUS, FELINEDOPHILUS and GASTRO VEGI-DOPHILUS can also enhance the benefits of supplements and special feeds.
WHY NATREN MANUFACTURES THE BEST PROBIOTICS FOR PETS
Natren’s animal probiotics are specially formulated to support the intestinal health and general wellness of your pets and livestock.
EQUIFLORA probiotics for horses gel formulas contains three billion colony forming units (cfu) of two probiotic super strains beneficial to animals, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Enterococcus faecium, NCIMB 10415.
GASTRO VEGI-DOPHILUS powder probiotic formula contains four billion cfu per gram of Lactobacillus acidophilus, DDS-1 super strain, and two billion cfu per gram of Lactobacillus bulgaricus, LB-51 super strain per one-gram dose.
Natren’s pet probiotic supplements are pharmaceutical grade quality probitoics manufactured in their International GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) certified state-of-the-art plant, under the strictest manufacturing standards. Natren’s unique proprietary Trenev Process® process keeps the live bacteria in their natural environment (supernatant) to ensure potency and effectiveness, substantially increasing their probiotic benefits for pets and eliminating the need > for additives such as FOS (a type of sugar).
Like probiotics for humans, probiotics for animals are acutely affected by light, heat and moisture, which kill the live bacteria. The majority of probiotics for dogs and other pets are sold in white plastic containers that do not efficiently block light or moisture, and are stored at room temperature. So when you buy pet probiotics off the shelf in a pet store or order online, what you largely get are dead bacteria.
Natren stores small-quantity, powder probiotics in amber glass bottles with metal lids, and refrigerates its bottled pet probiotic products from manufacture through delivery to protect the live bacteria from light, heat and moisture, and to guarantee full potency. Natren’s unique gel matrix and the survivability of the E. faecium in adverse conditions allow us not to mandate refrigeration for our petbiotic syringes. The Natren petbiotic syringes do not require refrigeration, although refrigeration will extend the life of the product. They should be stored in a cool, dark place.
Natren is committed to supporting the health of your entire family, including your pets. Natren’s custom probiotics for dogs, cats, horses and other pets help give your furry family members the benefit of healthy digestive and immune systems.
