Which Probiotic/Prebiotic to start with

There seems to be a ton of information on pro/pre biotics helping SIDs but I am at a loss as to which one to try first.

Not just because we were working/schooling from home but our dog who is the family member that keeps us together and moving forward got sick. He had wh...
