Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the house,
not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse….

Merry Christmas to All,
and to all a good night!

Dog Aging Project Peer-Reviewed Study - “Dogs with consistent CBD💧 use showed a decline in the intensity of aggressive behaviors over time compared to a more steady trend among non-use dogs. […] The decline in the intensity of aggressive behaviors suggests the potential use of CBD in dog training. Further studies are needed to advance our understanding of this novel supplement at the mechanistic, clinical, and population levels.”

CBD has shown real promise in supporting dogs with anxiety, reactivity, and aggression. However, access to high-quality CBD is limited in many regions, and regulations vary widely across the U.S. and globally. For families who cannot access CBD or want a more standardized, long-term solution, GABA-producing calming probiotics offer a powerful, fully legal alternative with growing scientific support for dogs.

A 2025 randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial found that dogs given a patented GABA-producing probiotic strain (Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LP815™) experienced significant reductions in aggression and anxiety, along with improved sleep stability and faster post-separation calming. No serious adverse effects were reported across more than 1,100 doses, making it a safe option for extended daily use.

Want to explore a science-backed probiotic🦠 option for your dog comment BETTERBELLY and we’ll send you more info.
