Three pillars in one tub
TREVALO VITAL is a powdered complementary feed for comprehensive everyday care of your dog. It combines three groups of ingredients: a functional complex with colostrum, a microbial and fibre part, and micronutrients.
It is made for the everyday care of dogs of all ages and breeds. You sprinkle the dose straight onto the food in the bowl.
It contains dairy ingredients (bovine colostrum). If your dog is sensitive to milk proteins, talk to your vet first.
What you’ll find in the tub
- 01
Functional complex
Bovine colostrum IgG40, beta-glucan from yeast and fermented reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum).
- Colostrum IgG40
- Beta-glucan from yeast
- Fermented reishi
- 02
Canine probiotic strain
L. reuteri NBF1 comes from a dog, not from a human. In the EU it is authorised as a feed additive for dogs. Alongside it come 21 tyndallised strains: lactobacilli, bifidobacteria and other bacteria that are no longer alive after gentle repeated heating. Such bacteria are called postbiotics.
- Canine origin
- Authorised in the EU for dogs
- + 21 postbiotic strains
- 03
Fibre
Psyllium, chicory inulin, MOS and hydrolysed yeast. Food for the beneficial bacteria in the gut.
- Psyllium
- Inulin
- MOS
- 04
Micronutrients
Vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc as a chelate and selenium from selenium-enriched yeast.
- Zinc as a chelate
- Selenium from yeast
Who TREVALO VITAL is for
For every day
As part of the daily ration for dogs of all sizes, with the dose based on your dog’s weight.
When you want more than a probiotic
Besides the canine strain and fibre, it contains colostrum, beta-glucan, reishi and micronutrients.
When you don’t know where to start
TREVALO VITAL is the all-round choice. If problems keep coming back, it makes sense to first learn the composition of the microbiome and choose care based on data.

Three steps every day
- 1
Open the lid
Before first use, press the part of the lid marked PRESS. Then turn the lid so the perforated part sits over the opening.
- 2
Measure
One portion from the dosing lid is about 1.2 g, and three portions make one 3.5 g dose. You choose the dose by your dog’s weight.
- 3
Sprinkle into the bowl
Sprinkle the dose straight onto the food. You can split it across several meals during the day.
Dogs from 5 to 30 kg: 3.5 g per day, that is 3 portions (with a daily food ration of up to 500 g and moderate activity).
- A 105 g pack lasts a dog of 5 to 30 kg about 30 days.
- Use within 30 days of opening. Store in a dry, dark place at room temperature.
- Your dog must always have access to fresh water. The NBF1 strain may firm up the stool, so if you give it for longer than 5 weeks, make sure your dog gets enough water and suitable food.
Three products for every day
TREVALO VITAL
Comprehensive care in powder form. On top of the canine strain NBF1 and fibre, it adds colostrum, beta-glucan, reishi and micronutrients. Dose by weight, 105 g pack.
TREVALO BALANCE
Linseed oil with fibre and the canine strain NBF1. A simpler composition that also works as follow-up care after a tailored course. 115 g pack.
TREVALO DIGEST
Fibre comes first. Four sources of fibre, the canine strain NBF1 and 21 tyndallised cultures. Dairy-free. 105 g pack.
All three products contain the same canine strain NBF1, so choosing one is usually enough. If you’re not sure, write to us.
What you ask us most often
Is TREVALO VITAL a medicine?
No. It is a complementary feed for dogs. It does not treat diseases and does not replace a vet. If your dog has acute problems, go to the vet.
What is the difference between TREVALO VITAL and TREVALO BALANCE?
Both contain the same canine strain NBF1 and fibre. TREVALO BALANCE is a linseed oil with a simpler composition. TREVALO VITAL is a powder and also contains colostrum, beta-glucan, reishi and micronutrients. Choosing one of them is usually enough.
Can I give TREVALO VITAL to a dog that is sensitive to milk?
TREVALO VITAL contains bovine colostrum, which is a dairy ingredient. If your dog is sensitive to milk proteins, talk to your vet first.
How long should I give TREVALO VITAL?
The manufacturer intends it for everyday care. The NBF1 strain may firm up the stool, so if you give it for longer than 5 weeks, make sure your dog gets enough water and suitable food. If your dog’s stool changes markedly or your dog takes medication, talk to your vet.
How long does it last after opening?
Use it within 30 days of opening. Store it in a dry, dark place at room temperature. With poor storage, the number of live bacteria drops.
Who makes TREVALO VITAL and where can I buy it?
It is made by MicroCen Trans s.r.o. in Brno under the Trevalo brand. You buy it directly from the manufacturer. We are not a seller but an independent distributor, and we are happy to help you choose.
For the curious: ingredients, study and sources
Colostrum has been studied in dogs
In a 2013 study, healthy adult dogs received food with a small share of bovine colostrum for 40 weeks. Compared with the control group, they had a higher level of antibodies after a distemper revaccination and a more diverse gut microbiota. The study used colostrum alone, not TREVALO VITAL.
- 24 healthy adult dogs in the study
- 40 weeks the study lasted
- 12 dogs in each group, including a control group
This is one smaller study in one breed, funded by a pet food manufacturer. The results cannot be carried over to the whole TREVALO VITAL product or to sick dogs. For beta-glucan and reishi there are only small, short studies in dogs, and none with this product.
Ingredients and analytical constituents
Tyndallised cultures (21 strains)
Lactobacilli, bifidobacteria and other bacteria after tyndallisation, that is, gentle repeated heating. They are not alive, which is why they are called postbiotics. Lactobacillus acidophilus LA11-Onlly, Lactobacillus helveticus LH10, Limosilactobacillus fermentum LF33, Lactobacillus gasseri LG23, Ligilactobacillus salivarius LS86, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus LB2, Bifidobacterium breve BB8, Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum BL88-Onlly, Bifidobacterium bifidum BB47, Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. animalis BA77, Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus ST6, Enterococcus faecium EFM530, Limosilactobacillus reuteri LE16, Lactobacillus crispatus LCR15, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus LR22, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LP-Onlly, Lacticaseibacillus casei LC18, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei LPC28, Lactobacillus johnsonii LJ02, Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BI516 and Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis BI211.
The colostrum study in detail
What the study showed
- 24 healthy sled dogs (husky crosses), half received food with 0.1% colostrum, half the same food without it,
- after a distemper revaccination, the dogs with colostrum kept a higher antibody level for longer than the control group,
- their stool contained more IgA antibodies, and their gut microbiota was more diverse and more stable after an exercise run.
What the study did not show
- any difference in weight, food intake, stool or blood tests,
- whether the dogs got sick less often: an antibody level is not the same as protection from disease,
- the effect of TREVALO VITAL: the study used colostrum only.
The NBF1 strain
Limosilactobacillus reuteri NBF1 (DSM 32203) was isolated from dog faeces. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) assessed it as safe for dogs, and the European Commission authorised it in 2023 as a feed additive for dogs (identification number 4b1850). We describe it in detail on the TREVALO BALANCE page. TREVALO BALANCE
