Yes human probiotics are safe for dogs.

Although it's best to give dogs probiotics made for dogs so the dog gets the most health benefits from the probiotics.

However I asked my dogs vet if it was okay to give my dog some human probiotics and the vet said it was perfectly fine and safe for the dog.

But the vet said it was best to give the dog probiotics that are made for dogs because dogs have different requirements than humans.

My dog does take probiotics made for humans when I run out of the probiotics made for dogs but he benefits much more from dog probiotics.
