Lactobacillus casei for dogs

Lactobacillus casei is a widely used probiotic species, listed on these labels without a specific registered strain. We found no study on this particular, unstrained listing. It appears in seven products, from VetriScience and Vital Planet's Flora line to Vet's Best and Open Farm, plus Wholistic Pet Organics WholeBiotics, the only one of the seven to print a CFU count for it: 1.1 billion per unit.

Study dose for your dog

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

Common questions

Does "Lactobacillus casei" by itself mean the product has clinical backing?

Not necessarily. The bare species name doesn't identify which strain is used, and no study is recorded for this generic listing.

What dose is used in these products?

Only Wholistic Pet Organics WholeBiotics discloses a figure, 1.1 billion CFU per unit; the other six products don't state one.

Is this the same as the NCIMB 30188 strain used in Nutramax Proviable?

Same species, but tracked separately here, since NCIMB 30188 is a specific identified strain and this listing covers products that don't name one.
