Plentum Advanced K9 Microbiome Care box of 30 sachets, three-quarter view showing the front and the three-step directions panel

Microbiome Care

Metabolic Care focuses on healthy weight. Microbiome Care is the daily foundation for mouth, gut, and skin.

Each supplement is its own sachet. On two supplements, your dog gets both sachets every day.

Questions owners ask

Giving it

  • For Plentum Metabolic Care, dogs up to 25 lb get 1 sachet a day, dogs from 26 to 50 lb get 2, dogs from 51 to 75 lb get 3, and dogs over 75 lb get 4. Start with half your dog's daily dose for 3 days, then the full dose for their weight.

  • It's unflavored, so most dogs take it straight over food. You can also mix it with water or wet food to make a gravy.

  • No, it goes over the food your dog already eats. Give it with a measured meal at the same time each day.

  • Plentum Metabolic Care is made for puppies from 12 weeks of age, with the dose set by their weight.

With other supplements and medicine

  • Yes. Microbiome Care is the daily foundation, and Metabolic Care can be added to it. Add one at a time, and add the second after a week on the full dose of the first.

  • Supplement facts on this page covers medicines and health conditions, so read its Contains and Caution sections before you start.

What to expect

  • Portion control and exercise come first. Metabolic Care supports healthy weight management as part of that routine, and it isn't a diet on its own.

  • Weigh your dog every two weeks and keep notes on portions and energy. The Vitality Roadmap shows what to track over the first 12 weeks.

  • Every order has a 30-day guarantee. If it isn't right for your dog, contact us and we'll refund you.

    This page's 12-week timeline shows what to track and when to check in.
