Probiotics for pets are beneficial microbes ('good' bacteria) that support the natural balance of bacteria and other microbes on your pet’s skin and in their everyday environment. While many people think of probiotics for gut health, topical probiotics are designed to work on the surface of the skin and coat.

LUCAA+ spray-on probiotic pet care products introduce beneficial bacteria that help maintain stable conditions on areas such as the skin, ears, eyes and teeth. This supports your pet's everyday hygiene and comfort.

Your pet’s skin has its own microbiome - a natural community of bacteria and other microbes that live on their skin, coat, ears, eyes and mouth. if the balance within the microbiome becomes disrupted - perhaps from infection or stress - the unwanted microbes can start to gain the upper hand. You may notice this as skin irritation, odours, bad breath, yeast overgrowth and increased sensitivity.

Yes. Probiotic pet sprays contain beneficial bacteria sourced from plants that help support the natural microbial balance on your pet’s skin. These good bacteria (probiotics) work alongside the microbes that naturally live on the skin, helping maintain stable conditions as part of everyday grooming and hygiene routines.

Probiotics do not work like antibacterial or chemical disinfectant products that aim to kill all bacteria, including both helpful and harmful microbes. Instead, probiotic pet care supports the natural microbial balance on your pet’s skin.

Your pet’s skin naturally contains a diverse community of microbes known as the skin microbiome. Probiotic sprays introduce beneficial bacteria that help maintain stable conditions on the skin’s surface.

They work through a natural process called bio-competition, where beneficial bacteria compete with unwanted microbes for space and nutrients. Over time this limits the growth of less desirable microbes and supports healthy skin conditions as part of everyday grooming and hygiene routines.

However, products containing antibiotics or strong antibacterial ingredients can reduce the effectiveness of probiotics because they are designed to kill bacteria. If these products are needed, it is usually best to use them at a different time and apply probiotic sprays afterwards.

If your pet has been prescribed antibiotics, we always recommend completing the course.
