Questions
The roadmap, answered
How long should I keep going?
Judge the routine over the full 12 weeks, not a few days. Write down what you notice each week.
Can I give two formulas together?
Many owners start with Microbiome Care as the daily base and add one targeted formula. Changing one thing at a time makes it easier to notice what you see, so you can add the second after a week or two. Follow each label’s amount for your dog’s weight.
How do I give the sachet?
Tear open the flat sachet and pour it over your dog’s usual meal, then mix. Start with half your dog’s daily dose for 3 days, then the full dose for their weight. If your dog is picky, stir the powder into 2 tablespoons of warm water and spoon it over the meal.
What should I track over the 12 weeks?
Pick one thing, such as stool quality on a 1 to 7 chart, a coat photo, calm moments or weight. A line a day is plenty. Our free 12-week check-in checklist gives you a simple week-by-week routine to follow.
What if my dog has loose stool?
Soft stool can happen while a dog settles in, and it usually eases within a few days. If it is severe, lasts more than 24 to 48 hours, or comes with blood, vomiting or lethargy, stop giving it and call your vet.
