By answering a few questions, our Strain Selector will help guide you to the appropriate HOWARU® strain for your patients based on their individual benefit area needs.
What do probiotics and dogs have in common?
Dogs and probiotics follow a similar taxonomy (genus, species, strain), and they each have a job to do.
1. IDENTIFY THE TAXONOMY.
PROBIOTIC:
Genus: Lactobacillus
Species: acidophilus
Strain: ABC
DOG:
Genus: Canis
Species: lupus
Strain: ABC
2. ASSESS THE JOB TO BE DONE.
PROBIOTIC:
Aid in colonic transit time
DOG:
Run the Iditarod
3. SELECT THE SPECIFIC STRAIN OR BREED TO DO THE JOB.
PROBIOTIC:
Lactobacillus acidophilus ABC vs Lactobacillus
acidophilus XYZ
DOG:
Canis Iupus Husky vs
Canis Iupus Chihuahua
YOU WOULDN'T CHOOSE A CHIHUAHUA TO RUN THE IDITAROD.
You would choose a breed better suited for the job and the environment.
The same is true of probiotic strains. You cannot possibly know if the probiotic will get the job done without identifying the strain.
Recommend the right probiotic strain for the desired outcome
