Spore-Forming Probiotics for Dogs: Why Calsporin® Outperforms Standard Strains

Spore-forming Probiotics for Dogs - Why Calsporin Outperforms Standard Probiotic Strains

Calsporin® contains Bacillus velezensis DSM 15544, a spore-forming probiotic with specific EU regulatory approval for dogs and over a decade of canine-specific research. Unlike standard strains that degrade during manufacturing and digestion, its protective spore coat ensures it reaches your dog's gut alive — where six peer-reviewed studies show it increases microbial diversity, improves faecal quality, boosts short-chain fatty acid production, and reduces harmful gut metabolites. Discover why this probiotic is the foundation of Bonza's "One Gut. Whole Dog." approach to whole-body health through the microbiome.

Gut-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT) in Dogs: How Your Dog’s Gut Controls Immunity

Gut-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT) in Dogs: How Your Dog's Gut Controls Immunity

GALT — gut-associated lymphoid tissue — is the largest immune organ in your dog's body, housing around 70% of their entire immune system within the intestinal wall. This network of Peyer's patches, M cells, and immune populations continuously monitors everything your dog swallows, deciding what to tolerate and what to fight. When GALT is disrupted, the consequences extend far beyond the gut — driving skin conditions, joint problems, and systemic immune dysfunction. Discover how GALT works and how targeted nutrition can support it.
