Did you know that allergies are one of the top reasons dogs are brought to the vet every year? From chronic itching and hot spots to ear infections and inflamed paws, skin allergies are one of the most common and frustrating reasons for veterinary visits. In fact, leading pet hospitals report that up to 30% of all dog visits are related to allergy symptoms.
But that may be changing. A new clinically approved postbiotic developed by a biotech startup has shown remarkable results in reducing allergy symptoms, without the side effects of steroids or antibiotics.
The First Clinically Approved Postbiotic for Dogs with Skin Allergies
A startup called Kingdom Supercultures has developed the first postbiotic clinically proven to reduce itching in dogs. Their indole-rich formula showed:
- 27% reduction in scratching in just 14 days
- Improved coat health in 1 of 3 dogs
- Better results than traditional probiotics in clinical trials
This makes it one of the most exciting advances in pet dermatology, especially for dogs suffering from chronic itching, hot spots, and allergy symptoms.
What Is a Postbiotic—And How Is It Different?
Unlike probiotics (live bacteria) and prebiotics (food for bacteria), postbiotics are the beneficial byproducts created when microbes break down food in the gut. These compounds have powerful anti-inflammatory and immune-regulating effects without the risks associated with live bacterial supplementation.
This new dog-specific formula is rich in Indole, a gut-derived compound produced by “good” bacteria breaking down tryptophan.
Why Indole Matters for Skin Health
Indole supports the gut-skin axis by:
- Healing the gut lining
- Reducing systemic inflammation
- Activating the AhR receptor, which regulates immune function in both the gut and skin
The result? Less itching. Fewer hot spots. Better digestion. Healthier coat.
The Gut-Skin Axis in Pets
Veterinary medicine is now confirming what many holistic pet parents already suspected: your dog’s skin health is directly tied to gut health.
Why does this matter?
Because 70% of your pet’s immune system lives in the gut.
When the gut is inflamed, leaky, or imbalanced, allergy symptoms often show up on the skin first, especially in dogs with food sensitivities or environmental allergies.
🐶 Who This Postbiotic Is Great For
This new supplement may benefit dogs with:
- Chronic itching
- Food or seasonal allergies
- Red, irritated skin
- Inflamed paws or ears
- Sensitive tummies
Backed by Science, Built for Pets
The team behind this postbiotic is serious about the science. Kingdom Supercultures was co-founded by:
- Kendall Dabaghi, CEO – serial entrepreneur and biotech innovator
- Dr. Ravi Sheth, PhD – microbiome scientist, formerly of Columbia University, with published work in Nature, Science, and Biotechnology
Their company has raised over $30 million in funding and is leading the way in gut-based solutions for both pets and people. Their next product lines will target metabolism, calmness, and human gut wellness by 2026.
Final Thoughts: A Gut-Based Breakthrough for Allergy Relief
For pet parents tired of relying on steroids or chasing down temporary fixes, this postbiotic offers a powerful, gut-first solution to chronic allergies in dogs.
Healthier gut. Calmer immune system. Less itching. All starting in the microbiome.
As always, consult your holistic or integrative vet before adding new supplements, especially if your pet has underlying health conditions. But this might just be the allergy support breakthrough your dog has been waiting for.
At Blooming Culture, we continue to follow innovation in gut wellness to bring pet parents science-backed options that go beyond the trends, and support true healing from the inside out.
