Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis for dogs

Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis is a bacterium — specifically the lactis subspecies of B. animalis, often shortened to B. lactis on labels. We found no dog or other-species study testing this subspecies by name. It appears in two products here, Honest Paws Well Pre+ Probiotics and Nusentia Probiotic Miracle Powder. No studied dose exists for it, so there's no confirmed number to check a label against.

We don't have a confirmed CFU-per-kg dose number for Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis from the canine trials yet -- so this calculator is intentionally disabled rather than guessing.

Common questions

Is Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis different from plain Bifidobacterium animalis?

Yes. Lactis is a specific subspecies of B. animalis, so naming it is more specific than a label that just says B. animalis — though we found no dog study of either in our research.

Has this subspecies been tested in dogs?

No study, canine or otherwise, turned up in our research for B. animalis subsp. lactis specifically.

Two: Honest Paws Well Pre+ Probiotics and Nusentia Probiotic Miracle Powder.
