I agree.

There may be some evidence to support their use in intestinally challenged dogs, and so perhaps worth a try (didn't work for mine), but for healthy dogs...I would save my money.

There is so much debate about how much of it gets destroyed when cooking kibble and I think it's unnecessary. Maybe prebiotics are a different story? I think Rylee's kibble might have prebiotics..maybe.

So to answer your question, I do not and would not buy a probiotic supplement for my dogs unless I was doing a trial for GI issues. And even then, it would be in consultation with my vet. I know of at least one nutritionist who isnt' a fan (seen too much GI upset FROM them).
