Bacillus subtilis
Bacillus subtilis evidence is strain-specific. The label name alone cannot establish that a product delivers the preparation or dose tested in research.

Fibre and biotic combinations in healthy dogs: what changed?
Different fibre and biotic combinations changed digestion and stool measurements, but the trial cannot identify one ingredient as responsible.
Bacillus subtilis during an abrupt diet change in dogs
This specific probiotic did not prevent the measured microbial changes during the tested food transition.
Raw, lightly cooked and dry dog food: digestibility compared
Selected foods differed in digestion and stool measurements. This short experiment does not establish which format produces better lifelong health.
Raw, pasteurised and heat-treated dog food: what changed?
An 18-dog trial compared raw, pasteurised and heat-treated foods. Digestibility and other measurements differed, but the results do not establish lifelong health superiority.
Raw feeding and the canine gut microbiome
What an eight-dog feeding trial found about raw beef, gut bacteria and stool quality, with a closer look at the methods, results and limits of the evidence.
