BioGut Microbiome + Prebiotic Soft Chews
SPORE-FORMING STRAIN · 5 DECLARED ACTIVES
BioGut Microbiome + Prebiotic Soft Chews
A Bacillus strain that survives stomach acid, the prebiotic fibre to feed it, and L-glutamine for the gut lining. Shelf stable — no refrigeration.

Digestive support
A probiotic that survives the trip.
Most dog probiotics fail for one of two reasons: the strain dies in stomach acid, or it lands in a gut with nothing to eat.
Three problems, one chew
What the formula is actually doing
A spore-forming Bacillus is dormant until it arrives. Stomach acid is not the obstacle it is for Lactobacillus.
MOS and FOS at 50 mg each — prebiotic fibre the good bacteria actually ferment.
L-glutamine at 50 mg, the primary fuel for the cells lining the intestine.
Dried chamomile at 50 mg, traditionally used for an unsettled stomach.
Five actives, declared in milligrams.
Not a CFU figure from the factory floor. Milligrams on the label, tested per batch.
Other ingredients: hydrolyzed animal protein, inactivated brewer’s yeast, potato starch, vegetable glycerin, potato flakes, dried apple pomace, coconut oil, tapioca flour, sunflower lecithin, salmon oil, sorbic acid, flaxseed meal, tocopherol extract. No corn, wheat or soy.
The actives
Probiotic and prebiotic in the same chew
A probiotic with no prebiotic is a colony with nothing to eat. Both are here, plus the fuel the gut wall itself runs on.
100 mg
Bacillus velezensis
Spore-forming strain — survives stomach acid intact.
- No refrigeration needed
- Declared in mg, not CFU at manufacture
50 mg
MOS
Mannan-oligosaccharides from yeast cell wall.
- Prebiotic fibre
- Also binds unwanted bacteria
50 mg
FOS
Fructo-oligosaccharides — what the good bacteria ferment.
- Feeds the strain once it lands
- Works alongside the MOS
50 mg
Dried chamomile
Traditionally used to settle an unsettled gut.
- Whole dried herb
- Named on the label, not “botanical blend”
50 mg
L-glutamine
Primary fuel for the cells lining the intestine.
- Addresses the gut wall, not just the flora
- Rarely included at all
Ingredient photography is illustrative. Contains fish (salmon oil). No corn, wheat or soy.
Side by side
Against a typical dog probiotic
| Typical dog probiotic | BioGut | |
|---|---|---|
| Strain | Lactobacillus — largely destroyed by stomach acid | Spore-forming Bacillus velezensis |
| Prebiotic | None — bacteria with nothing to feed on | MOS 50 mg + FOS 50 mg |
| Gut lining | Not addressed | L-glutamine 50 mg |
| Potency claim | CFU at time of manufacture, not at purchase | Declared in mg on the label |
| Storage | Often needs refrigeration | Shelf stable — spores do not need chilling |
A tub advertising billions of CFU is quoting the number at the factory, not the number that reaches the intestine.
Why BioGut works
Four mechanisms, and the ingredient doing each job.
The strain is dormant until it arrives
Spore-forming Bacillus survives the stomach because it is not metabolically active while it crosses it. For most refrigerated Lactobacillus products, the CFU count at the factory and the count that reaches the intestine are very different figures. A spore sidesteps the question entirely.
A colony needs feeding
MOS and FOS are the fibres gut bacteria ferment. Without them you have introduced a population into an environment with no food — which is why so many probiotics do nothing after the first week.
The gut wall is a tissue, not just a habitat
L-glutamine is the primary fuel for enterocytes, the cells lining the intestine. Addressing the lining and the flora together is the difference between a probiotic and a gut formula.
Milligrams, not CFU theatre
Every active is printed in milligrams and tested per batch. Email us the batch code on your tub and we send that batch’s certificate of analysis.
Daily directions
Given with food, once a day
Double it for two weeks around a diet change or a course of antibiotics. If your dog is on antibiotics, space this a couple of hours apart from the dose.
- Up to 25 lb 1 chew a day. 2 a day for two weeks after a diet change or antibiotics.
- 26 to 50 lb 2 chews a day. 4 a day for two weeks after a diet change or antibiotics.
- 51 to 100 lb 3 chews a day. 6 a day for two weeks after a diet change or antibiotics.
- Over 100 lb 4 chews a day. 8 a day for two weeks after a diet change or antibiotics.
Day to day
Where this shows up in everyday life
Week one to two. The most-reported change, and the easiest to see.
Rotational diets and new bags of food stop being an event.
Week three to four, and the household notices before the dog does.
A spore-forming strain is shelf stable. Keep it sealed, somewhere cool and dry.
The single highest-value moment to be giving this, at double the amount.
The honest version
What to expect, and when
Some dogs pass looser stools while the population shifts. It settles — it is not the product failing.
More consistent day to day. This is the change owners report first.
Fewer bad mornings after a change of food. The colony is established and fed.
The colony does not stay without feeding. Stop, and it drifts back over a few weeks.
No risk to you
Give it 90 days. Then decide.
If your dog is no better, email us and we refund the order — opened tub included, nothing to ship back.
Quality you can check
Spores do not need chilling.
Not CFU at time of manufacture.
Send us the code, we send the certificate.
Before you buy
Frequently asked questions
My dog got loose stools when I started.
Common in the first few days, and it settles. If it is still happening after a week, halve the amount for a few days and build back up.
When should I give it?
The highest-value moments are a food change, a course of antibiotics, travel or boarding, and any stretch where stools have gone inconsistent. Plenty of owners give it daily regardless.
Can I give it with VitaCore?
Yes. VitaCore carries a maintenance dose of the same probiotic; this adds four times the amount plus the prebiotic fibre and L-glutamine.
Does it need refrigerating?
No. Keep it sealed, somewhere cool and dry.
When should I see a vet instead?
Vomiting that will not stop, blood in the stool, a painful or distended belly, or a dog that has gone off food entirely are emergencies. Diarrhoea lasting more than 48 hours in an adult dog, or more than a few hours in a puppy, needs a diagnosis. This does not treat parvovirus, giardia, worms, pancreatitis or an obstruction.
How long does a tub last?
For a 50 lb dog on maintenance: 30 days for the 60-count, 60 days for the 120-count.
Contains fish (salmon oil). For dogs only. Not for use in pregnant or lactating animals. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
