Bifidobacterium longum for dogs

Bifidobacterium longum is a bacterium that appears without any strain code in five products we track, including VetriScience Extra Strength Gut Health and all three Vital Planet Flora Dog formats. A bare species name like this is a broader claim than a numbered strain such as DSM24736/SD5219. We found no dog or other-species study testing plain B. longum, and no studied dose is confirmed.

Study dose for your dog

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

Common questions

Is "Bifidobacterium longum" on a label the same as a coded strain like DSM24736/SD5219?

No. A bare species name is a broader, less specific claim than a label naming a particular registered strain.

Has B. longum been studied in dogs?

We found no canine or other-species study testing this species on its own.

Which products contain it?

Five, including VetriScience Extra Strength Gut Health for Dogs & Cats and all three Vital Planet Flora Dog Probiotic formats (capsules, powder, soft chews).
