Bacillus subtilis is a spore-forming bacterium that appears on six products we track without any strain code attached — a broader, more generic label claim than a named strain like DE111. Two dog studies exist for it: a 36-dog trial on acute gastroenteritis found the probiotic group's abnormal stools resolved significantly faster than placebo (1.3 days versus 2.2), and a 20-dog trial testing it alongside Bacillus coagulans for allergic dermatitis found reduced symptoms and faster wound repair versus untreated dogs.
PubMed and PMC, dogs only. Other species are listed separately below and don't count toward the badge.
We don't have a confirmed CFU-per-kg dose number for Bacillus subtilis from the canine trials yet -- so this calculator is intentionally disabled rather than guessing.
No. A label that just says "Bacillus subtilis" with no strain code is a broader, weaker claim than one naming a specific identified strain.
A 36-dog trial on acute gastroenteritis found probiotic-treated dogs' stools returned to normal significantly faster than placebo (1.3 vs 2.2 days). A separate 20-dog trial, testing it together with Bacillus coagulans for allergic dermatitis, found reduced symptoms and faster wound healing.
No studied dose is confirmed for Bacillus subtilis on its own in these trials.
