If you have been giving your dog probiotics for months and the itching, ear gunk and inconsistent stool keep coming back, this conversation explains what is being missed.

Billy Hoekman, Vice President of Nutrition and Formulation at Green Juju, makes the case that most probiotics are built around potency when what a modern indoor dog is actually short on is diversity. She no longer picks up the hundreds of microbes she would once have found in soil, grass, and outdoor life, and no single strain replaces that.

We get into what wild fermentation actually is, why fiber matters more than most pet parents realize, what Milka's gut test revealed after years of raw feeding, and whether store-bought yogurt can stand in for a probiotic. Billy also walks through when he reaches for each of the three Green Juju probiotics, and why a dog with yeast concerns needs a different approach than one you are simply supporting day to day.

The two we reach for most after this conversation are Soil Probiotics, which Billy points to first for allergies, and Leaf Probiotic, his recommendation for yeast concerns and alongside antibiotics:
