Probiotics are bacteria or yeast really for aiding the digestion processes, there are claims for immune boosting, but this is long term benefits.
Instead I would supplement with vitamin C for 2 weeks before the kennels (or as soon as) which helps with stress (thus boosting immune system in short term). Try to get raw without sugar or sweetners - health food shop is your best bet.... look for 'ascorbic acid'.
For dachys I would put in a pinch in every bowl. (Mine would get half a tea spoon) but you can't over supplement, it is soluble and comes out in the urine.
