Primitive Probiotics™ looks great!!
Species-Specific Gut Health for Dogs

The Future of Pet Probiotics Starts Here...
Most pet probiotics on the market are human strains, never adapted to the metabolic, immune, or thermal environment of dogs or cats. They’re not designed to survive the journey through a carnivore’s GI tract and accomplish a specific purpose. And many lack evidence of efficacy in the species they’re sold for.

That’s why I developed PRIMITIVE PROBIOTICS™, a radically different, science-driven approach to rebuilding and maintaining your dog’s microbiome using the very strains nature intended: from wild canids, healthy domestic dogs, and living soil.

Summary of Canine Strain Benefits:
✅ Increases beneficial gut bacteria
✅ Reduces harmful pathogens
✅ Strengthens gut barrier and tight junctions
✅ Supports digestion, immunity, and metabolism
✅ Backed by multi-trial clinical research in dogs
✅ FDA GRAS and Health Canada VHP compliant
✅ Adapted to survive and thrive in your dog’s gut

Can PRIMITIVE PROBIOTICS™ Help My Dog?
PRIMITIVE PROBIOTICS™ is ideal for:
✅ Puppies building a resilient microbiome from the start
✅ Dogs with diarrhea, soft stools, or excessive gas
✅ Dogs recovering from antibiotics and other microbiome-disrupting medications,illness, or stress
✅ Dogs with anxiety, aggression, or sleep issues
✅ Dogs needing immune and cognitive support

Give your dog the gut reboot they deserve with PRIMITIVE PROBIOTICS™, the ultimate blend of science-backed and ancestral strains designed to support digestion, immunity, mood, and overall vitality. Vet-formulated.

Most people assume cancer is a “genetic destiny” but in truth, only a small percentage (5–10%) of cancers are directly inherited. The rest are heavily influenced by lifestyle, diet, environment, and daily choices.
For our pets, this is incredibly empowering. By reducing toxin exposure, feeding fresh whole foods, and supporting their immune system, we can lower their lifetime cancer risk significantly.
Prevention is powerful, my focus in As Nature Intended has been prevention and my personal journey in preventing cancer as best as I can started over 15 yrs ago. I've been publishing all my findings in As Nature Intended, pop in say Hi and go through our resources. If you're seeking something specific reach out 🌿🐾

Only 5–10% of cancers are caused by genetics.

Cooled teas are an economical and powerful way to deliver a plant’s best medicinal properties directly to your pet. Herbal teas are naturally decaffeinated. Green and black teas should be decaffeinated. Purchase organic teas, if possible, and start with 2-4 oz per 10 lbs (4.5kg) of body weight.🐾
TIP: Start with one diluted teaspoon at a time, mixed with bone broth or other liquid 🐾

I started sourcing raw goat milk back in 2015 and made kefir and cream cheese for my dogs. There's a comprehensive researched post in our community group. Kefir is great, but if your dog has an issue with histamines, you might want to stick to the milk.

DID YOU KNOW?...

If you’re living with a cat or dog, especially one that’s getting a little older, there’s a silent threat you should be aware of: kidney disease. It’s one of the most common and underdiagnosed issues, particularly in cats. The tricky part? It often progresses slowly—so slowly, in fact, that by the time symptoms show up, significant damage has already occurred.

Acute and chronic kidney disease can sneak up on our furry companions, often with subtle signs like increased thirst, weight loss, or a lackluster coat that we might miss until things get serious. Did you know that one in three cats and one in ten dogs may face kidney challenges in their lifetime Th...
