Lactobacillus plantarum for dogs

Lactobacillus plantarum is a common lactic-acid bacterium found across a wide range of dog probiotic products, and on this site it appears without a strain code in eleven different listings, from Vital Planet's Flora line to Pet Honesty's soft chews. Almost none of those labels disclose a CFU count for it; the one exception is Wholistic Pet Organics WholeBiotics, which lists 1.1 billion CFU per unit. No studies came up for this species-level listing, and no dose has been established.

Study dose for your dog

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

Common questions

Is bare "Lactobacillus plantarum" the same as a coded strain like NCIMB 30187?

Not necessarily. A label without a strain code doesn't tell you which specific isolate is inside, and different isolates of the same species can behave differently.

Do these products disclose how much is in each dose?

Mostly no. Of the eleven products listing this ingredient, only Wholistic Pet Organics WholeBiotics gives a CFU count (1.1 billion per unit).

What dose was studied in dogs?

None found for this species-level listing. No studied dose is on record.
