What Makes Pet Protect Lactoquil Special?
Discover Digestive Health Supplement — Developed by veterinarians and trusted in clinics, Pet Protect Lactoquil is a probiotic formula designed to survive stomach acid and reach the intestines alive. Each soft chew delivers 1.5 billion CFUs from nine strains of beneficial bacteria, plus prebiotic inulin to nourish them. The chicken flavour makes these chews a treat your dog will actually look forward to—even picky eaters or senior dogs with dental issues accept them readily. If your dog experiences occasional dietary indiscretion or stress from travelling or boarding, these chews can provide gentle support without upsetting a sensitive stomach.
Key Ingredients That Make a Difference
The Pet Protect Digestive Health formula combines a robust probiotic blend with a prebiotic fiber. The nine probiotic strains work together to populate the gut with friendly microbes, crowding out undesirable bacteria and promoting regular digestion. Inulin, a natural prebiotic derived from chicory root, serves as food for these probiotics, helping them colonize the intestinal tract. This dual-action approach ensures your dog receives both the live cultures and the nourishment they need to thrive. Each chew contains a minimum of 1.5 billion CFUs, a clinically relevant dose for daily maintenance or extra support during stress.
How to Choose the Right Digestive Supplement for Your Dog
With so many options on the market, it’s important to select a probiotic that is species-specific for dogs. Look for a product with at least 1 billion CFUs per serving and a variety of strains—Pet Protect offers nine. The form matters too: soft chews are convenient and easy to administer, while powders can be mixed with food for finicky dogs. Always opt for a formulation backed by veterinary expertise, like Lactoquil, which uses the same formula found in veterinary clinics across Canada. Prebiotic inclusion is a bonus, as it supports probiotic survival and activity.
Why Digestive Health Matters for Dogs
A healthy gut is essential for your dog’s overall wellbeing. The digestive system plays a key role in nutrient absorption, immune function, and even mood regulation. When the microbiome is balanced, dogs are better able to fend off illness, maintain steady energy levels, and enjoy a glossy coat. However, factors like diet changes, stress, antibiotic use, and aging can disrupt this balance, leading to loose stools, gas, or a reduced appetite. A high-quality probiotic supplement helps restore equilibrium and supports long-term digestive health.

As with any new supplement, consult your veterinarian before use, especially if your dog is pregnant, nursing, or on medication. Store chews in a cool, dry place to maintain potency.
