Ingredient Benefits
Soil-based probiotics (SBOs)
Soil-based probiotics (SBOs) are species of bacteria found in soil. Unlike Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, most SBOs are spore-forming. This means they can form a hard coating that protects them from heat, stomach acids and most antibiotics. In fact, many antibiotics are made from SBOs.The SBO’s protective coating means they don’t need to be refrigerated. And unlike most probiotics that come from dairy (like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium), the SBOs in PROTECT are hypoallergenic. That’s good news for dogs with dairy allergies. The SBOs in PROTECT have been well widely used and researched and found to be effective:
Bacillus coagulans – This friendly little SBO is often found in fermented foods such as sauerkraut. It’s well-studied and has a marked effect on inflammatory digestive conditions. Research shows it can help:
• Solve IBS and digestive issues
• Balance gut bacteria
• Improve immune function
• Stimulate the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines
• Stop the spread of cancer cells
Bacillus subtilis – This SBO is an inhabitant in healthy guts. Even before antibiotics were developed, B. subtilis was used to treat urinary tract infections and GI diseases.
B. subtilis helps the immune system product immunoglobulin A (IgA). This antibody is often low in dogs with autoimmune disease. It also bolsters the gut lining, which prevents toxins, bacteria and undigested food from entering the bloodstream and triggering an immune response. B. subtilis also ferments vitamin K and produces 12 strong, natural antibiotics that fight harmful bacteria. It’s a powerhouse probiotic with a proven track record!
Bacillus indicus – This SBO is extremely unique … and useful! B. indicus produces large amounts of carotenoids, which are the yellow and orange pigments found in plants. These carotenoids are powerful antioxidants … in a more bioavailable form than those from plants.B. indicus also produces B vitamins, vitamin K2 and quinols for extra health-boosting results. Dogs with unbalanced guts (dysbiosis) won’t have enough friendly probiotics to this this.
Saccharomyces boulardii
Saccharomyces boulardii is considered to be a probiotic but it’s actually yeast. But don’t confuse it with brewer’s yeast!
This little guy loves to attach itself to heavy metals and eat them. Dogs are constantly exposed to pesticides and their vaccines and even food are a full of mercury, aluminum and other harmful metals.
Saccharomyces boulardii is a healthy way to remove toxins before they travel to the organs and harm your dog.
Saccharomyces boulardii is also used to treat and prevent diarrhea, including infectious diarrhea such as parvovirus, and the overgrowth of harmful bacteria in the gut.
This friendly yeast has also been shown to effectively fight yeast overgrowth and Candida.
Organic Wild Blueberry
Blueberries are the most nutrient-dense berries. Plus, they’re one of the richest sources of special antioxidants called polyphenols.
Wild blueberries are richer in antioxidants than highbush blueberries.
The antioxidants in blueberries have been shown to fight DNA damage, a common precursor to diseases like cancer. In one study, blueberries reduced oxidative DNA damage by 20%.
And powdered blueberries performed just as well as fresh ones.
Blueberries can also maintain brain function and improve memory, thanks to their antioxidant activity. In fact, a six year study showed blueberries delayed mental aging in humans by up to 2.5 years.
Bentonite Clay
Bentonite clay comes from volcanic ash. It has a unique structure that can absorb negatively charged toxins, including pesticides, lead, mercury and other heavy metals.
Over time, toxins can build up in your dog’s body and interfere with organ function. Bentonite clay has been found to bind to these toxins and help cleanse the body.
Bentonite clay can also fight harmful bacteria and encourage the growth of friendly bacteria. This also helps your dog’s gut absorb more nutrients.
Chlorella pyrenoidosa
Chlorella pyrenoidosa is a species of single-celled green algae. It’s extremely nutritious … but it offers other health boosting properties:
• It helps detox by removing heavy metals and other toxins from the body and brain
• Helps the immune system produce more antibodies, which fight foreign invaders in the body.
• It’s rich in antioxidants.
Organic Dendelion Powder
Dandelion root is another antioxidant powerhouse. But its also rich in prebiotics.
Prebiotics are compounds that are fermented by probiotics … they basically feed the healthy (probiotic) bacteria populations in your dog’s gut.
Organic Burdock Root Powder
Burdock root is also rich in healthy prebiotics.
It’s rich in fiber, including inulin and FOS. These both inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria in the gut and improve immune function.
Burdock root can also lower blood sugar.
Fulvic Acid
Just as our probiotics come from the soil, so do fulvic and humic acid!
Fulvic acid is released into soil as organic matter decomposes. The resulting substance supports your dog’s body in many ways:
• Rich in minerals (which is important because most dogs are deficient in minerals)
• Helps the body absorb nutrients from food.
• Naturally high in antioxidants and electrolytes
• Can balance the microbiome and restore gut health
• A natural source of pre and probiotics
• Reacts with free radicals, heavy metals and toxins and helps eliminate them from the body.
Humic Acid
Like fulvic acid, humic acid comes from the earth. It’s also rich in minerals and trace minerals. Because it’s getting harder to get enough minerals from food, adding them to the diet is part of a solid health plan for every dog.
Humic acid also helps protect cells from viruses and removes pesticides from the body.

F A Q
Can I give my dog Protect daily?
Yes! Protect is a veterinarian formulated soil-based probiotic blend made for daily use.
We made Protect to support a healthy gut and immune system, while helping your dog detoxify from everyday pesticide and toxin exposure. Protect is a great choice as a daily preventive plan for good health.
Can I give my puppy Protect?
In most cases, if you have a new puppy, it’s best to focus on fresh whole food nutrition for a good start to life. But in some cases, probiotics can be helpful. If your puppy is changing from a processed diet, then a probiotic can help support good digestion.
Why does Protect contain fewer bacteria than other probiotics?
Soil-based probiotics are spore-forming, which means they can form a hard coating that protects them from the high heat and stomach acids that typically damage most probiotics. It also helps them colonize in the colon where they belong, not in the small intestine.
I think my dog has leaky gut, should I give him Protect?
We recommend Gut Guard if you wish to support a normal gut lining. Gut Guard is a veterinarian formulated blend of gut friendly ingredients that can help support a normal inflammatory response. Gut Guard also contains spore-forming probiotics, which form a protective shell when stressed and are more likely to survive and colonize than other species. Protect is certainly gut friendly, but Gut Guard will offer more support for the gut lining.
Will Protect help my dog’s digestive upset?
Yes, Protect contains probiotics that have a proven track record in supporting gut and digestive health. If you don’t have success with Protect, try Bifido For Fido instead. (Take advantage of our 30 day money back guarantee). While Protect is a daily probiotic, BFF is a multi-strain probiotic for occasional digestive upset.
How do I know if my dog needs probiotics?
Since 80% of the immune system lives in the gut, most dogs can benefit from probiotics.
Probiotics are live organisms that provide health benefits. These beneficial bacteria have a few key jobs in your dog’s body. Gut bacteria can help:
- Digest food
- Produce key vitamins (including Vitamin K and Vitamin B)
- Produce serotonin and influence mood
- Produce enzymes
- Reduce the gut pH
- Crowd out harmful bacteria
- Produce fatty acids that discourage the growth of harmful bacteria
- Support the immune system
What is Saccharomyces boulardii?
Saccharomyces boulardii is considered a probiotic because it benefits the gut and immune system like a probiotic. But it’s actually a healthy yeast, not a bacterium.
As a probiotic yeast, S. boulardii is much less susceptible to gut-stressing drugs and chemicals than probiotic bacteria are.
I noticed white specs in the blend, what causes this?
Protect has little white specks, which are the probiotics and prebiotics.
Why is my jar of Protect a different color than the last one?
You can expect a natural variation in color in Protect due to the bentonite clay and other earthy ingredients. It’s perfectly normal.
Should I keep Protect in the fridge?
If you have room, we recommend keeping Protect in the fridge. While the soil-based probiotics are shelf stable, the Saccharomyces boulardii is more fragile. If you can’t store it in your fridge, just be sure to keep in a cool, dark place and use the jar within 30 days of opening.

Good price on 4 Leaf Rover Protect probiotic which has helped my pup tremendously. Shipping was also very quick.
Robert G. (verified owner) –
Every month for a week or two my pup had loose stool. After 3 days of using 4 Leaf Rover Protect, my pup’s stool went from yellow, loose, & watery to firm and dark. Ultimately, he was diagnosed with EPI and I continue to give Protect & it has helped keep his stool mostly firm. Delivery of product was very quick, I will certainly reorder in the future.

Love the ingredients. Love that it’s soil based. Love that it’s not a pill, treat or capsule I have to hide. This is sprinkled on their breakfast with no issues getting them to eat it. Also customer service and shipping are stellar!
Melissa Oddo (verified owner) –
He’s only been on this for a few days now so I can’t really tell, but I will say the customer service is amazing and my product came extremely quick, and somebody even took the time to write woof woof with happy faces in permanent marker!! Just that little tiny personalized writing on my receipt made me extremely happy! Like they actually care about you and your pet! 🖤🖤 I will see my dog doesn’t quite like the taste of it and I have to mix it with other things for him to take his dose, but with all the reviews from everybody I’m really excited to see the changes to come. I’m definitely ordering more from you guys I love the customer service keep it up 😁😁
Dilwantie R. (verified owner) –
Probiotics are a must for every meal but one pet needs to take antibiotics 2x per day and I was advised that probiotics -especially this plant based one -very pure – was necessary to offset the harshness of the antibiotics which affects his liver. No side effects whatsoever. and will continue to give my 2 other senior dogs as well to keep them healthy. Your packaging is very neat- the products are received very quickly- thank you.

It should come with some kind of measuring cup inside.
Mooshiepets Team (store manager) –
Hello Ms. Pavlock,
You bring up a very good point!
According to Four Leaf Rover, this is something they looked into several times but have not been able to source a measuring scoop/spoon that is made with 100% recyclable material. Since they will not move forward with anything that will have a negative impact on the environment, they have decided not to provide scoops to encourage customers to utilize reusable measuring spoons.
We hope you will understand.
We appreciate your review. Thank you!
Sheila (verified owner) –
Since my dog would eat dirt, I looked up why? Became clear she was searching for something missing from her diet. So protect has the prebiotics and probiotics, and it is just like eating dirt. My 11 year old maltese yeast issues finally seem to be getting better. I dont like chemicals so this has seemed to go to the root of her problem and resolving it organically. It is all natural ingredients so I am thrilled. I have already reccommended it to friends.

My dog has been struggling with GI issues, red eyes and REALLY inflamed and itchy feet. After trying a few different pre/probiotic brands, adding pumpkin and trying different “sensitive skin and stomach” dog food formulas, the next step was to do Rx feeding trials, allergy testing, and GI specific blood work… after some research on gut flora and how it affects the immune system, I came across this product as a final effort before pursuing more vet work (which the vet ok-ed).
This stuff is the holy grail! His poop (after less than a week) is the firmest it’s ever been in the 1.5 years I’ve had him. No more awful gas. No more red, itchy feet. He now LOVES to eat when he would occasionally go 24-48 hours without eating before regardless of what I tried. His poop is more firm than my other dog that doesn’t have the gi issues (though now I think I’ll add some to her food too!). I’m slowly (as a precaution) weaning off the pumpkin, optimistic he won’t even require that any more. Going to put through another order already just to make sure I will always have some on hand. 😁😁
