Trust Centered Training

A study published in the journal Microorganisms found that diabetic dogs and cats given a specific probiotic strain saw up to a 61.8% drop in blood sugar, and some insulin-treated pets were able to lower their insulin doses. The findings support that diabetes isn’t just a pancreas problem, it’s also connected to gut health.

Multiple studies show that specific probiotic strains can support glucose regulation in dogs and cats. Evidence suggests certain species, particularly Bifidobacterium, followed by select Lactobacillus strains such as L. reuteri and L. rhamnosus, may help improve insulin signaling and insulin sensitivity. When the goal is better blood sugar control, these strains are the most evidence-supported to date and should always be used strategically alongside appropriate veterinary care.
