Advanced Probiotics & Enzymes Soft Chews Supplement
Verified Jun 9, 2026
A probiotic and digestive enzyme soft chew supplement for dogs of all sizes, designed to support gut health alongside a regular balanced diet. It provides high counts of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus coagulans, plus multiple digestive enzymes and prebiotic fructooligosaccharides to help maintain a healthy gut microbiome. The soft chew format makes it easy to give with meals, especially for dogs with sensitive stomachs or during times of stress or diet change.
This is a well-formulated digestive supplement for dogs that combines meaningful levels of probiotics with a broad spectrum of digestive enzymes and a prebiotic source. It can be a good option for dogs with mild, recurring digestive upset, or when you anticipate stressors like diet changes or travel. As with any supplement, it should be used alongside, not instead of, a complete and balanced dog food, and under your vet’s guidance if your dog has ongoing GI problems.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Provides high probiotic counts (at least 1 billion CFU Bacillus subtilis and 100 million CFU Bacillus coagulans per serving), which are well-suited strains for use in pets.
- Includes multiple digestive enzymes (amylase, lipase, cellulase, protease) to help break down carbohydrates, fats, fiber, and proteins in the food your dog eats.
- Contains a prebiotic (fructooligosaccharides) to help nourish beneficial gut bacteria, supporting a healthier microbiome over time.
- Soft chew format is palatable and easy to dose by body weight, which helps with consistent daily use.
Considerations
- This is a supplement intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only and does not replace a complete and balanced dog food.
- Brewers dried yeast is a main ingredient; while safe and nutritious for most dogs, a small number of yeast-sensitive dogs may not tolerate it well.
- Flaxseed and vegetable oils contribute some fat; if your dog has a history of pancreatitis or needs a very low-fat regimen, discuss this with your vet before adding any chew-based supplement.
- Dogs with chronic vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, or significant GI disease should be evaluated by a veterinarian rather than relying on probiotics alone.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Brewer's Yeast
Brewer's yeast (deactivated Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is commonly used in dog and cat foods as a flavor enhancer and supplemental source of protein, B‑complex vitamins, trace minerals and immunomodulating components such as beta‑glucans. It can support skin, coat and general nutritional status, but may cause gastrointestinal upset or allergic reactions in yeast‑sensitive pets, is not a live probiotic, and should be used cautiously in animals prone to purine‑related issues or those receiving antifungal medications.
02
Glycerol
Glycerol (glycerin) is used in pet foods primarily as a humectant and sweetening agent to retain moisture, improve texture and palatability, and serve as a solvent or carrier in wet foods, treats, and liquid supplements. It provides a modest source of metabolizable energy for dogs and cats, but in large amounts can cause gastrointestinal upset and may affect blood glucose, so products intended for diabetic pets or sensitive animals should be used with caution.
03
Potato
Potato is commonly used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate source and functional binder, supplying starch, fiber, and modest amounts of vitamins (B6, C) and potassium—often included as cooked or dehydrated flakes, starch, or protein concentrates. While it provides energy and helps formulate grain‑free recipes, potatoes are not a primary protein for dogs or cats (and are not nutritionally required for obligate‑carnivore cats), can contribute to excess calories or affect blood glucose in diabetic animals, and must be cooked and free of green skins or sprouts to avoid solanine toxicity; allergies are uncommon but possible.
04
Flaxseed
Flaxseed is used in pet foods as a plant-based source of alpha‑linolenic acid (ALA) omega‑3, soluble and insoluble fiber, and modest protein, often added to support skin and coat condition, digestive health, and kibble texture; ground seed or flaxseed oil is more digestible than whole seed. Dogs can partially convert ALA to long‑chain EPA/DHA but cats convert ALA poorly and therefore still need marine sources for essential DHA/EPA; flax is calorie‑dense, prone to oxidation if not stabilized, and contains lignans (phytoestrogens) and trace cyanogenic compounds, so it should be processed and used in moderation.
05
Lecithin
Lecithin is commonly used in pet foods as an emulsifier and texture stabilizer—typically derived from soy, sunflower, or egg—and supplies phospholipids (such as phosphatidylcholine) that help disperse fats and maintain product consistency. In small amounts it contributes choline and supports fat digestion and cell membrane health, but it is not a primary nutrient source; soy-derived lecithin may be a consideration for pets with soy sensitivities and very high intakes can occasionally cause mild gastrointestinal upset.
