This is already in high quality food with dogs having a different digestive and nervous system to people this isn't something they would need. This can be recommended by vets if they are having problems with their digestive system but is normally monitored with blood work with your vet.

Acidophilus is naturally present in a dog's intestinal tract. Supplementing your dog's diet with acidophilus helps to replenish this healthy bacteria, which can improve digestion and reduce gas and diarrhea.
