GABA Pet LP815TM
Anxiety and aggression support for canines
for prolonged release of GABA
Unlocking canine wellness with microbiome science
Just like humans, a dog’s gut microbiome plays a crucial role in overall well-being—impacting digestion, immune health, and even behavior. Emerging research reveals a strong connection between the gut microbiome and mental well-being in dogs.1 Anxiety in dogs is defined as a “preparatory response to perceived threats,” which can lead to chronic stress and further behavioral issues. With 72.5% of dogs exhibiting some form of anxiety-like behaviors, we recognized the need for a better solution—one that starts in the gut microbiome.2
Many dogs experience anxiety in their daily lives, with pet owners reporting anxious behaviors in everyday situations:
47%
of dog owners observe anxious behaviors related to separation3
58%
notice anxiety around strangers3
46%
see anxious behaviors when interacting with other dogs3
The canine gut-brain connection
While a variety of calming supplements are commonly used for dogs with anxiety and reactivity, many products on the market overlook the gut-brain axis—despite its essential role in behavioral health.
The canine gut-brain axis plays a key role in regulating the nervous system through multiple mechanisms, including neurotransmitter modulation. One of the most notable pathways involves gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter essential for promoting relaxation and reducing stress responses by slowing the stimulation of specific nerve signals in the brain, supporting mood and stress regulation.4
Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LP815TM, prolonged GABA effect
LP815 was isolated for its ability to provide sustained GABA production. By utilizing advanced computational modeling and high-throughput screening, we benchmarked against the top strains in the industry to select a superior GABA producer.
LP815’s calming effect on the nervous system helps reduce impulsive and reactive behaviors. By promoting relaxation, LP815 supports a more balanced emotional response in dogs throughout the day and night.
The Verb difference: caring for your canines
At Verb Biotics, we believe in advancing pet wellness without disrupting the lives of the animals we aim to support. That’s why we took a different approach with our clinical research on LP815. Instead of traditional animal testing, we conducted a real-world, at-home trial—allowing dogs to stay in their natural environments while we gathered meaningful insights on their behavior, anxiety levels, and sleep patterns. But don’t just take our word for it—hear from the pet parents who experienced the Verb difference firsthand.
Abigail & Rue
Thank you so much for allowing us to join this study. Rue has been so calm throughout since giving her the supplement, and she is much more social than she’s ever been.”

How GABA Probiotic works
GABA factory
LP815 acts as a GABA-producing catalyst, enhancing the gut’s existing GABA-producing microbiota while directly increasing GABA levels upon consumption—essentially turning the gut into a GABA factory.
GI performance
GABA Probiotic is derived from a natural Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strain that survives the harsh conditions of the gut to produce GABA.
Consistent and prolonged release
Unlike traditional GABA supplements which deliver a bolus dose of GABA resulting in an immediate but transient spike of GABA levels, GABA Probiotic may offer a more consistent and prolonged time release of GABA, providing more consisting calming effects for your canine companions.
Lower dosage for greater application flexibility
GABA Pet, at a dose of 1 billion CFU per 25 lbs, is clinically linked to reduced anxiety and aggression, as well as improved sleep quality. Its low CFU requirement provides formulation flexibility, allowing it to be easily combined with other calming ingredients.
Applications
Incorporate GABA Probiotic, LP815™, into your canine calm, sleep, and anxiety solutions—or make it the star as the sole ingredient! Add LP815 into food-topping powders, or blend into a variety of treat formulations.
