KibbleLab Score
8.0 out of 10

Strong Choice

This is a thoughtfully formulated immune and gut-support supplement that can complement a regular, complete dog food. The combination of colostrum, EpiCor yeast fermentate, astragalus, and multiple probiotic strains offers a multifaceted approach to immune and gastrointestinal support. It’s best suited for dogs who tolerate bovine- and lamb-derived ingredients and need ongoing, daily support rather than treatment for acute problems.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Includes bovine colostrum and an EpiCor yeast fermentate, both commonly used to support immune function and help with seasonal sensitivities.
  • Contains a five-strain probiotic blend, which may help maintain a healthy gut microbiome and support normal digestion.
  • Uses lamb and flaxseed as part of the flavor and nutrient profile, which many dogs find palatable and which can contribute some beneficial fats.
  • Soft chew format with moderate plant-based carriers (garbanzo flour, pea flour) makes it easier to give than tablets or capsules for most dogs.

Considerations

  • Contains bovine colostrum and lamb, so it is not appropriate for dogs with known beef/dairy or lamb allergies or sensitivities.
  • This is a supplement, not a complete and balanced diet, so it should only be used alongside a nutritionally complete dog food.
  • Includes pea and garbanzo flours; while present mainly as carriers, dogs with legume sensitivities may not tolerate them well.
  • Palm oil is included as a fat source; most dogs handle it fine, but very fat-sensitive dogs should be monitored when introducing any new fatty supplement.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Colostrum
Colostrum is the antibody‑rich first milk from mammals used in pet foods and supplements to provide immune support and gut‑health benefits through concentrated proteins, immunoglobulins, growth factors and other bioactive compounds. It may aid neonatal passive immunity, intestinal barrier function and recovery during illness or stress in dogs and cats, but efficacy depends on source and processing, and it can cause digestive upset or allergic reactions in animals with dairy sensitivity and should not replace proper neonatal care or vaccinations.
02
Dried Fermentate
Dried fermentate is a dried fermentation product—typically derived from yeast or beneficial bacteria—used in pet foods as a palatant and source of bioactive postbiotic compounds (peptides, organic acids, nucleotides and B‑vitamins) that can enhance flavor and support digestive and immune health. Its nutritional contribution is usually minor but functional, improving food acceptance and supplying trace micronutrients; because composition varies with the source and processing it is not a complete protein, may contain yeast derivatives or added salts, and pets with specific sensitivities should be checked by a veterinarian.
03
Saccharomyces Cerevisiae
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a species of yeast commonly used in pet foods and supplements as a source of protein, B-vitamins, beta‑glucans and mannan‑oligosaccharides that support digestive health, beneficial gut microbes and immune function. It is generally safe and beneficial for most dogs and cats when used as a deactivated yeast or yeast extract, though pets with specific yeast sensitivities or severely immunocompromised animals should avoid live yeast preparations and owners should consult their veterinarian if concerned.
04
Astragalus
Astragalus is an herbal botanical used in pet foods and supplements as an immune-supporting ingredient and antioxidant rather than a macronutrient; its root contains polysaccharides and flavonoids that are thought to have adaptogenic and immune-modulating effects for dogs and cats. Evidence in companion animals is limited, so benefits are modest and product quality varies; caretakers should be aware of possible gastrointestinal upset, allergic reactions, and interactions with immunosuppressive or anticoagulant medications and consult their veterinarian before use.

05
Probiotic Blend
A probiotic blend is a mixture of live beneficial bacteria added to pet foods to support healthy digestion, maintain a balanced gut microbiome, and contribute to immune health in dogs and cats. Benefits can include improved stool quality and reduced occasional digestive upset, but effectiveness depends on the specific strains, dose and viability (CFU) and some pets may experience mild, transient GI changes; immunocompromised animals should receive veterinary guidance and probiotics are not a substitute for veterinary care.
