We believe in supporting animal health with gentle, probiotic-based products. Our Topical Probiotic Spray provides safe, effective support for minor bacterial, fungal and yeast-related skin conditions, while our Gut Probiotic and Prebiotic help support digestion, immune function and overall wellbeing.

Made here in New Zealand, CanineCare and EquineCare we are a small, (mostly family-owned business) with the health and wellbeing of your animals at the heart of everything we do

Signs of poor gut health in dogs may include loose or inconsistent stools, excess gas, bloating, excessive grass eating, digestive discomfort, reduced appetite, and changes in skin or coat condition. CanineCare Gut Probiotic and Prebioticwork together to support a balanced gut microbiome, healthy digestion, nutrient absorption and normal immune function.

Yes, gut health can influence a dog’s skin and immune response, so an imbalanced gut microbiome may contribute to itching or recurring skin problems in some dogs.

Constant paw licking in dogscan be caused by allergies, yeast or bacterial imbalance, irritation, pain, stress, or something caught between the toes. Persistent redness, swelling, sores, discharge or limping should be checked by a veterinarian.

It will depend on the cause of the irritation. CanineCare may help support paws affected by minor bacterial, fungal or yeast-related imbalance, with the Gut Probiotic and Prebiotic supporting gut and immune health from within and the Topical Probiotic Spray applied directly to the paws; persistent swelling, sores, discharge, pain or limping should be checked by a veterinarian.

Spray CanineCare Probiotic Topical directly onto the affected skin each day, or more frequently if needed. For long-haired dogs, part the coat and gently massage the spray through to the skin; for paws, spray between and around the toes, separating them gently if necessary. If your dog dislikes spray bottles, apply the product gently with a clean cloth or cotton pad instead

Our Gut Probiotic and Prebioticcome in dual-chamber measuring bottles. Simply squeeze the bottle until the correct dose fills the measuring chamber, then pour it over your dog’s food twice weekly. The two products can be given in the same meal or separately; for convenience, we usually give them together. If your dog is sensitive to new tastes, start with a smaller amount and gradually build up to the full recommended dose.

There is nothing harmful or toxic in CanineCare Probiotic Topical Spray if your dog licks the treated area. To give the beneficial microbes time to settle on the skin, try distracting your dog with food, a walk or play immediately after applying it.

The 250ml Topical Probiotic Spray is suitable for smaller dogs or localised areas such as paws, bellies, armpits and skin folds. The 500ml size may offer better value for larger dogs, more widespread skin irritation or multi-pet households.
Our Gut Probiotic and Prebiotic are available as a 250ml Gut Duo or a larger 500ml Gut Duo XL. The 250ml Gut Duo lasts approximately six months for a dog under 15kg or three months for a dog over 15kg.

Our products are perfect for all of the above. Natural, safe and gentle CanineCare Probiotic Topical and Gut have no harmful ingredients.

Yes. Because CanineCare contains living beneficial microbes, each product has a best-before date of one year to ensure optimum effectiveness. It may remain usable beyond this date, but the number and activity of the beneficial microbes may gradually reduce over time.

Yes, all CanineCare products are made in New Zealand. Our Gut Probiotic and Prebiotic bottle s are also made in New Zealand using plastic collected through kerbside recycling.

Our probiotic formula is about as eco-friendly as you can get. The extensive use of chemicals in our environment has dramatically affected the biodiversity of microbes around us. CanineCare Probiotic Topical and Gut is great for your animal, you and the environment. The bottles for our gut products are made here in NZ from curbside recycled plastic and our topical spray bottles are also recyclable. Our postage bags are made from recycled certified paper which can be composted or recycled.
