Bifidobacterium bifidum for dogs

Bifidobacterium bifidum is a bacterium that shows up, with no strain code attached, in nine products we track — more than almost any other Bifidobacterium species on this site. That popularity on labels doesn't come with research behind it: we found no dog or other-species study testing B. bifidum specifically. No studied dose exists either, so there's nothing to check CFU claims against.

Study dose for your dog

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

Common questions

Does "Bifidobacterium bifidum" on a label mean it's backed by a study?

Not based on what we found. Despite appearing on nine products we track, no canine or other-species study of B. bifidum turned up in our research.

Is this the same as a numbered strain like NCIMB 30179?

No. NCIMB 30179 is a specific identified strain; a label that just says "Bifidobacterium bifidum" with no code is a broader, weaker claim.

What dose has been studied?

None confirmed — no studied dose exists in the research we reviewed.
