70% of your dog's immune system
It lives in a place most owners never think about.
There's a number that keeps showing up in veterinary immunology research. 70%. That's the proportion of your dog's immune system concentrated in the gut.
70%
of a dog's immune cells reside in the gastrointestinal tract
Pilla and Suchodolski published a landmark review in Frontiers in Veterinary Science (2020, cited over 535 times) mapping the relationship between the canine gut microbiome and systemic health. Their conclusion: gut dysbiosis doesn't just cause digestive problems. It destabilizes the entire immune response.
When the microbial balance in a dog's intestine shifts, the downstream effects show up as chronic inflammation, recurring infections, skin issues, and weakened resistance to disease. The gut isn't just processing food. It's running the immune system.
Gut Dysbiosis
Altered microbiome found in both acute and chronic GI disease in dogs (Pilla, 2020)
Cancer Link
Oregon State (2026) connected cancer survival rates in dogs to specific gut microorganisms
Behavior Impact
Pellowe et al. (2025, Nature) linked gut bacteria composition to anxiety and aggression
Age Sensitivity
Kim et al. (2025) showed microbiota shifts at every growth stage directly affect health outcomes
Most pet supplements ignore the gut entirely. Or they throw in a generic probiotic and call it done. The Immunity Blend takes a different approach: beta-glucans to modulate immune cell activity directly, marshmallow root to protect the gut lining, and pumpkin seed extract for digestive and deworming support.
Three ingredients. Each one targeting a different layer of gut-immune function. Because a healthy gut doesn't need a band-aid. It needs structural support.
