How Do You Use PetLabCo. Probiotic Chew Daily?

PetLabCo. Probiotic Soft Chew is designed for daily use to help support your dog’s digestive and immune health. Give 1 soft chew for dogs under 25 lbs, 2 for dogs 25–75 lbs, and 3 for dogs over 75 lbs, once per day. You can offer it as a reward, or break it into smaller bites, whatever works best for your dog’s routine. Giving it at the same time each day can help make it a happy, healthy habit.

Dosing by Weight

Small (under 25 lbs)1 soft chewHand-feed or place in bowl
Medium (25–75 lbs)2 soft chewsHand-feed or place in bowl

Administration Methods: Giving Probiotic Chew To Your Dog

  • Hand-feed as tasty supplementary food (most common, dogs accept readily)
  • Place in food bowl
  • Break into smaller pieces (for feeding little-by-little throughout day)

For best results, give Probiotic Chew at the same time daily to establish a routine. There are ways to make this easier; like keeping the container in an easy-to-see location and involving family members in the routine, so everyone can help remember to ensure your pup gets their daily supplement. It can also help to track giving Probiotic Chew in your calendar for the first few weeks and note any beneficial changes as they become apparent. 

Helpful tip: Consistency is more important than picking a specific time, so if you forget to give your dog their soft chew, give it later in the day rather than skipping a day.

What Are the Benefits of Consistent Probiotic Chew Use?

PetLabCo. Probiotic Soft Chew is designed to support your dog’s digestive health and immune system, two wellness areas that go paw-in-paw. Each soft chew includes a blend of carefully selected probiotic strains, prebiotics, and postbiotics to help maintain gut balance and support regularity. When given daily for up to 90 days, this supplement may help with occasional digestive upset and support long-term wellness. Be sure to follow the feeding guidelines based on your dog’s weight, and give consistently at the same time each day.

Key Benefits of PetLabCo. Probiotic Chew:

  • Supports digestive health (helps maintain a healthy gut flora balance)
  • Helps maintain digestive regularity
  • Supports immune health (approximately 70% of the immune system is located in the gut)
  • May help with occasional digestive upset
  • Supports gut barrier integrity, which plays a role in overall digestive wellness
  • May support skin and coat health through the gut–skin connection

What’s in Each Probiotic Chew

Ingredient values listed are per soft chew. Total daily intake depends on your dog’s weight (1–3 soft chews daily).

The PetLabCo. Probiotic Chew is thoughtfully formulated with input from a canine nutritionist.

How Do You Store PetLabCo. Probiotic Chew?

Probiotic Chew should be kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Make sure to reseal the container immediately after each use, and store your soft chews out of reach of children and pets, until the expiration date passes (dispose of any soft chews past their expiration date). You should avoid storing your soft chews in hot or humid environments, although refrigeration is not needed. Make sure to check the expiration date before use if you’ve had an open tub of Probiotic Chew for a while, and store your soft chews in a consistent location, so that it’s easier to stick to a daily routine. 

Storage Best Practices:

  • Keep in cool, dry place (avoid heat, humidity)
  • Away from direct sunlight (prevents degradation)
  • Reseal container immediately after each use (maintains freshness)
  • Store out of reach of children and pets
  • Room temperature suitable (no refrigeration needed)
  • Check expiration date before use
  • Don’t transfer to different container (maintains product integrity)

Can I Use PetLabCo. Probiotic Chews with Other Products?

PetLabCo. Probiotic Chew is designed to be suitable for daily use alongside other PetLabCo. products like Joint Care Chew Advanced, Allergy & Immune Chew, or ProBright Advanced. To get the most from each supplement, start with one and allow up to 90 days before introducing another. If your dog takes medications or has a health condition, consult your veterinarian before combining products to ensure the best fit for their needs.

Compatible PetLabCo. Products:

  • Joint Care Chew Advanced (joint and mobility support)
  • Allergy & Immune Chew (immune health and seasonal allergy sign support)
  • ProBright Advanced (dental health)
  • Dental Formula (water additive for oral health)
  • Treats (various)

Combining Products Safely:

  • Add additional products one at a time (assess individual effects)
  • Space out if giving multiple soft chews (morning and evening)
  • Follow dosing instructions for each product
  • Consult vet before combining PetLabCo. products if your dog is on medications
  • Monitor for any changes when adding new products

PetLabCo. supplements are designed to be combined, but introducing them gradually and consulting your vet ensures the best results for your dog. Introduce products one at a time and allow up to 90 days of consistent use to observe changes. A vet can help guide product selection and ensure the routine is tailored to your dog’s specific needs.

When Can You Expect to See Results from PetLabCo. Probiotic Chews?

Probiotic chews for dogs to support gut health

PetLabCo. Probiotic Chew is designed to support digestive and immune health over time – allow up to 90 days of consistent daily use. Some dogs may begin to show beneficial changes earlier, while others may need the full 90-day period. Daily consistency is key for the best results.

To track progress, you can monitor changes in stool consistency, signs of digestive comfort, energy levels, and overall wellness. Even small improvements, like more regular stools or a happier tummy, can be meaningful.

Helpful tip: Probiotics take time to work because they need to establish a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut. This process, known as colonization, doesn’t happen overnight, but with steady use, it may help create a more balanced, healthy digestive environment.

What to Track Over 90 Days:

  • Stool consistency (firm, well-formed)
  • Stool frequency (regular, 1–2 times daily)
  • Digestive comfort (no gurgling or gas)
  • Overall wellness 
  • Skin & coat quality (gut health affects skin and coat)
  • Energy levels

Consistency is essential when using PetLabCo. Probiotic Chew. Daily use helps the probiotic strains establish themselves in the gut, where they can begin supporting digestive and immune health over time. Skipping days may delay positive changes, especially during the early stages. For best results, aim to give the soft chew at the same time each day.

Every dog is different. Some may begin showing beneficial changes sooner, while others may need more time. A dog’s age, size, and baseline gut health all play a role in how quickly the probiotics can show benefits. That’s why a full 90 days of consistent use is recommended to allow the probiotic blend to do its work.

What to Expect Over Time

  • Days 1–7: Your dog is getting used to the new supplement. Some dogs may adjust quickly, while others may need a few days. Minor digestive changes (like gas or soft stools) may occur as the gut begins to balance.
  • Days 8–30: Probiotic strains are beginning to colonize the gut. You may start to notice subtle shifts, such as more consistent stools or reduced signs of digestive upset.
  • Days 31–60: With continued use, your dog’s digestive system may become more stable. Stool quality may improve, and occasional digestive discomfort may ease.
  • Days 61–90: By now, daily use may help establish a healthier gut environment that supports regularity, digestive comfort, and immune health. Positive changes may become more consistent and noticeable.

Helpful advice: Stick with it for the full 90 days to give your dog the best chance at experiencing digestive balance and ongoing wellness. Every dog needs time to adjust and thrive at their own pace.

What If My Dog Won’t Eat the Probiotic Chew?

Most dogs accept PetLabCo. Probiotic Chews easily thanks to their soft texture and savory pork flavor. For hesitant pups, simple techniques like crumbling into food, warming gently in your hand, may help support daily acceptance. Try these methods for 2–3 days, and contact customer support if your dog still refuses after 1 week.

Tips for Picky Pups:

  • Warm the chew slightly in your hand to release scent
  • Break into smaller pieces to use as training rewards

Most dogs warm up to the Probiotic Chew with a little patience. If you have questions or need additional tips, our friendly customer service team is always happy to help.
