description This study aimed to isolate and screen canine-derived probiotics with excellent probiotic properties. Strain characterization was conducted using a combination of in vitro and in vivo probiotic characterization and safety assessments, as well as complete genome analysis. The results showed that <i>Limosilactobacillus reuteri</i> LRA7 exhibited excellent bacteriostatic and antioxidant activities. The survival rate at pH 2.5 was 79.98%, and the viable counts after exposure to gastrointestinal fluid and 0.5% bile salts were 7.77 log CFU/mL and 5.29 log CFU/mL, respectively. The bacterium also exhibited high hydrophobicity, self-coagulation, and high temperature tolerance, was negative for hemolysis, and was sensitive to clindamycin. In vivo studies in mice showed that the serum superoxide dismutase activity level was 53.69 U/mL higher in the MR group of mice compared to that of the control group, the malondialdehyde content was 0.53 nmol/mL lower in the HR group, and the highest jejunal V/C value was 4.11 ± 1.05 in the HR group (<i>p</i> < 0.05). The <i>L. reuteri</i> LRA7 gene is 2.021 megabases in size, contains one chromosome and one plasmid, and is annotated with 1978 functional genes. In conclusion, <i>L. reuteri</i> LRA7 has good probiotic potential and is safe. It can be used as an ideal probiotic candidate strain of canine origin.
