What is Protect?
Protect supports a healthy digestive tract and the immune function. With proven soil-based organisms and natural prebiotics. With a total of 7 billion CFUs. Protect is ideal for healthy dogs as well as dogs with digestive or in need of additional support for the immune system.
- Soil-based Probiotics: Soil based probiotics of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus coagulans are known for their ability to support a healthy gut microbiome, support digestive health and support immune function. Soil-based probiotics are better at surviving the stomach acids than traditional probiotics. Their inherent stability means they don't require refrigeration and maintain potency over time and their robust nature allows for a potentially broader impact on the gut microbiome.
- Saccharomyces boulardii: Saccharomyces boulardii is a probiotic yeast that has been shown to support gut health, especially during antibiotic use and travel. It helps maintain the natural flora in the gastrointestinal tract, supporting immune function.
- Certified Organic Wild Blueberry Powder: Wild Blueberries contain more antioxidants than other berries and are very rich in a specific antioxidant called anthocyanins, which support a healthy heart and brain. Blueberries also help maintain a healthy gut flora. Four Leaf Rover choose organic blueberries to minimise exposure to synthetic pesticides and fertilisers, providing a safer and healthier option for your dog.

- Chlorella: Chlorella pyrenoidosa a species of freshwater algae, is highly regarded for being a rich source of antioxidants. It supports immune function, detoxification and supports gut health due to its high fibre content.
- Humic Acid: Humic acid is a natural component of soil and a byproduct of the decomposition of leaves and other plant material by soil-based microorganisms. Humic acid supports a healthy gut, it supplies antioxidants and supports the immune system.
- Fulvic Acid: Like humic acid, fulvic acid is a part of the organic matter in soil, peat and water. Fulvic acid supports the body's detoxification process, enhances nutrient absorption, supports healthy skin and provides antioxidants.
- Organic Dandelion Root: Dandelion root is known for its liver-supporting and detoxifying properties, thus supporting liver health. A kidney tonic that helps the kidneys filter toxins.
- Organic Burdock Root: Burdock root supports healthy skin and is antioxidant-rich. Burdock root also supports liver function and digestion, due to its inulin content, a type of soluble fiber that supports healthy gut bacteria.

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 colonise in the colon where they belong, not in the small intestine.
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:
- Support food digestion
- Produce key vitamins (including Vitamin K and Vitamin B)
- support the "good" bacteria in your GI tract
- 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 it is hardy and has been shown to support gut health during antiobiotic use.
Can Protect be taken whilst on Antibiotics? Soil-based probiotics are recommended to be given while on antibiotics to help maintain good bacteria. The Bacilli strains of probiotics are spore-forming and their hard coating that protects them from most antibiotics.
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 the colour of 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, its is 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.
Four Leaf Rover have worked with top holistic vets for a long time and used all of their products on their own dogs with great results. But the products they used were all for humans because the pet industry is riddled with low quality products. They took the very best natural human health products and made them accessible for dogs and cats. So the same high quality products they use on our dogs are now available for every dog.
Their promise is to treat your dog like he was our own furry family member. That's why they're so excited to share their proven and vet-approved formulas with you.
But their promise doesn't end there ...
They also promise to keep the planet safe for you and your dog. Pet products can have a significant environmental effect so every ingredient and piece of packaging is chosen for minimal impact.
