Loose stools after a food change, a course of antibiotics or a week in kennels are among the most common reasons a dog ends up at the vet for something that would largely have sorted itself out. A probiotic will not fix a genuinely ill dog, and nothing at this price should be claiming otherwise. What it can reasonably do is support the gut flora through the stretch when it has been disrupted.

The pack is 150g of chicken-flavoured supplement made with natural ingredients, fed daily alongside your dog's usual food rather than in place of it. Palatability is the practical hurdle with any supplement, because a product a dog spits back onto the kitchen floor does precisely nothing, and the chicken flavour exists to get it eaten without an argument. There are two options at checkout, an English-labelled pack and an unlabelled one, both the same 150g.

• 150g pack
• Chicken flavour
• Made with natural ingredients
• Fed daily with your dog's usual food
• Choice of English-labelled or unlabelled packaging
• Suits dogs of all ages and sizes

Two things worth knowing. And this is a supplement, not a medicine. Loose stools lasting more than a couple of days, or any blood at all, is a vet visit.

Who it's for: dogs going through a change of food, a course of antibiotics, or the stress of travel and boarding kennels.
