Abstract
Canine atopic dermatitis (CAD) is a ubiquitous, chronic inflammatory skin disorder prevalent
in dogs, which results in production of abnormal levels of IgE antibodies in reciprocation to an
allergen challenge. In this study, administration of the probiotic strain Lactobacillus sakei
probio-65 for 2 months significantly reduced the disease severity index in experimental dogs
diagnosed with CAD. In addition, one month pre-medication of L. sakei probio-65 revealed
significant difference in the PVAS score in experimental dogs for both probio-65 and placebo
groups. However, post 2 months treatment resulted in a significant decrease in the CASESI
score values in the probio-65-treated group (p < .0.06).
