While probiotics are widely known for gut health, using them externally is transforming how we clean and care for our pets.

In this episode of A Dog’s Life, Anna Webb and Joe Flanagan (Ingenious Probiotics) discuss how cleaning with probiotic rather than chemical products make indoor environments safer for dogs.

Dogs especially, explore the world nose first. They have around 300 million olfactory (smell) receptors in their nose, compared with a mere 5-6 million for humans. This makes them extra sensitive to the chemicals and artificial fragrances used in cleaning products.

Many traditional household cleaners release toxic endocrine disruptors that affect pets at a cellular level, increasing health risks.

Joe explains how probiotic cleaning tackles pathogens and odours without introducing harmful chemicals into your dog’s life. These solutions work symbiotically with nature, enhancing good bacteria while naturally reducing harmful microbes. They help pet owners create a healthier, balanced microbiome in their homes.

The discussion also covers probiotic pet care products, including shampoos, ear cleaners, tear stain removers, and coat sprays. 

As an emerging science, probiotic technology is just beginning to redefine how we approach hygiene in pet-friendly spaces. Tune in to learn why reducing sterility and embracing beneficial bacteria is the future of pet care and home cleaning:
