The most promising applications for probiotics are treatment of acute uncomplicated diarrhea, prevention of stress diarrhea, prevention of antibiotic-associated GI signs, and adjunct therapy for chronic enteropathies ( TABLE 1 ). Probiotics need 1 to 3 days to colonize the intestines. 19 When the goal is prevention of stress-related diarrhea (during periods of weaning, boarding, or traveling or for working dogs), prophylactic administration of a probiotic a few days to weeks ahead of the event may increase success. Similarly, if the goal is prevention of antibiotic-associated GI signs, administering probiotics a few days ahead of a procedure will increase success. Give one capsule daily by mouth or as advised by your veterinary surgeon.Capsules can be given whole or opened and the contents sprinkled onto food.

The WHO definition of probiotics stresses that health benefits need to be demonstrated before a strain of bacteria can be designated as a probiotic. In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration does not regulate probiotics; therefore, no governing agency oversees the label claims of probiotic products. The most commonly used probiotic strains in commercial products are lactic acid–producing bacteria (e.g., Lactobacillus, Enterococcus, Streptococcus, and Bifidobacterium species), which have traditionally been associated with health benefits. However, clinical studies have also demonstrated health benefits from other microorganisms, including specific strains of Escherichia coli 13 and yeasts (e.g., Saccharomyces boulardii), 7,14 which are also commercially available as probiotics.
