What are soil-based probiotics?
Soil-based probiotics are resilient probiotic strains naturally found in soil and the canine gut. They are known for their ability to survive stomach acid more effectively compared to some traditional probiotics.
Why does Protect contain chlorella and humic substances?
Chlorella, humic acid and fulvic acid are included to help support the body’s natural detoxification pathways and healthy elimination of environmental toxins.
What's the difference between probiotics, prebiotics and postbiotics?
Probiotics are beneficial bacterial, prebiotics are the nutrients that feed them, and postbiotics are the health-boosting compounds they produce. Together they support your dog's digestion, immunity and overall wellbeing.
Why are soil-based probiotics the smarter choice for dogs?
Because they actually survive the trip through your dog’s stomach! These hardy, spore-forming probiotics stay alive and active until they reach the gut no refrigeration needed.
Can I give Protect daily for ongoing gut support?
Yes! Protect is gentle enough for everyday use and helps maintain a balanced microbiome especially helpful for dogs exposed to lawns, parks, or city environments.
Does Protect support healthy digestion and stool quality?
Yes. Its blend of soil-based probiotics and beneficial yeast helps promote normal digestion, consistent stools, and comfortable tummies
How is Protect different from regular probiotics?
Regular probiotics are fragile and often don’t survive stomach acid. Protect’s spore-forming strains are built to last delivering active support right where it’s needed.
My new jar of Protect feels lighter than the previous one — is the amount correct?
Yes — the total amount of product is unchanged, and the feeding directions remain exactly the same. Four Leaf Rover recently updated the Protect formula to remove bentonite clay, because it became increasingly difficult to source clay that consistently met their strict standards for low heavy-metal levels. Chlorella was increased to maintain the same detoxification support. Because bentonite clay is much denser than chlorella, the reformulated product feels lighter in the jar — but the weight on the label reflects the full amount of product inside.
