Developed by world-renowned veterinarian Dr Karen Becker, Proactive Paws introduces Primitive Probiotics — a species-specific formulation designed for the canine microbiome as nature intended.

Species-Specific Gut Health for Dogs

The Future of Pet Probiotics Starts Here

Primitive Probiotics™ combines ancestral strains from wild wolves, species-specific strains from healthy domestic dogs, and ultra-resilient soil-based organisms (SBOs). This unique 3-in-1 formula delivers unmatched microbial diversity and survives stomach acid to truly transform your dog’s gut health.

PRIMITIVE PROBIOTICS™ is ideal for:

  • Dogs with diarrhea, soft stools, or excessive gas
  • Dogs recovering from antibiotics, illness, or stress
  • Dogs receiving heartworm parasiticides or flea/tick medications that can alter microbiota
  • Dogs with anxiety, aggression, or sleep issues
  • Seniors needing immune and cognitive support
  • Puppies building a resilient microbiome from the start

Not all probiotics are created equal. Most pet probiotics on the market are human strains, never adapted to the metabolic, immune, or thermal environment of dogs. They’re not designed to survive the journey through a carnivore’s GI tract and accomplish a specific purpose. And many lack evidence of efficacy in the species they’re sold for. That’s why Dr Karen Becker, Co-author of the #1 NY Times selling book, the Forever Dog developed PRIMITIVE PROBIOTICS™, a radically different, science-driven approach to rebuilding and maintaining your dog’s microbiome using the very strains nature intended: from wild wolves, healthy domestic dogs, and living soil. Emerging research now confirms that species-specific probiotics, isolated from healthy members of the same species, offer more targeted benefits. These strains are naturally adapted to the host animal’s microbiome, pH, bile levels, temperature, and immune landscape

1. Ancestral Strains

These strains are isolated from wild wolves and represent the ancient microbial allies that dogs evolved with: robust, immune-priming, and genetically aligned with the canine body.

2. Species-Specific Strains

Sourced from healthy domestic dogs, these strains are uniquely adapted to the stressors and diets of modern life. They’re highly colonizable and provide targeted support for digestion, immunity, and stress tolerance.

3. Soil-Based Organisms (SBOs)

Spore-forming probiotics like Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus clausii are natural survivors. They resist heat, stomach acid, and antibiotics; modulating inflammation and restoring balance when your dog needs it most.

This triad is more than just a probiotic; it’s a complete microbiome restoration system. Together, they create a truly adaptive, robust, and functional microbiome for modern dogs.

Every strain was selected for its specific functional benefit and survivability in the canine gastrointestinal tract.

Lactobacillus fermentum K9-2
Improves stool quality, supports gut barrier integrity, and reduces inflammation.

Lactobacillus casei K9-1
Balances gut flora, reduces Clostridium spp., and works synergistically with L. fermentum.

Lactobacillus reuteri PCR7
Produces reuterin (a natural antimicrobial), supports immune modulation and oral health.

Pediococcus acidilactici PCLL01
Survives gastric acid, reduces gas and diarrhea, supports microbial diversity.

Bifidobacterium spp.
Ferments fiber into SCFAs, enhances immunity, reduces gut inflammation in dogs.

Optibiome® BS50 Bacillus subtilis
Improves stool consistency, nutrient digestion, and antioxidant status.

MuniSpore® Bacillus clausii CS108
Resistant to antibiotics and stomach acid; reduces diarrhea and supports gut and respiratory immunity.

Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG
One of the world’s most researched strains; reduces allergic reactivity and supports the gut-brain axis.

Saccharomyces boulardii
Probiotic yeast that halts diarrhea, protects the gut lining, and reduces inflammation.

Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LP815 (GABA Probiotic)
Produces GABA—a natural calming compound that regulates mood, sleep, and aggression

prinkle the recommended amount directly onto food or a snack once daily.

For dogs with sensitive stomachs, start with half the suggested dose for the first few days and gradually increase to a full dose.

If using during antibiotic therapy, give the probiotic at least 4 hours before or after antibiotics to help protect beneficial bacteria. (based on 1 Billion CFU per 1.5 g serving)

Small Dogs: under 15 lbs - 1/2 scoop(0.75 g)
Medium Dogs: under 15-40 lbs - 1 scoop(1.5 g)
Large Dogs: under 40-80 lbs1 - 1/2 scoop(2.25 g)

Proactive Paws™ was created to fill the gaps—with innovative, effective, clean products that don’t currently exist in the animal health space. We’re not here to compete, we’re here to complement, collaborate, and contribute.

We believe in the power of whole foods, potent botanicals, and science-backed supplements to prevent disease and promote resilience. And we believe in community: veterinary professionals, pet parents, and wellness seekers coming together to share knowledge and elevate care.

If you’re here, it’s because you care deeply. So do we.

Welcome to Proactive Paws—where prevention meets purpose.
