Excellent product. Many uses for your fur baby.
My husband and I have 5 rescues, our oldest was recently diagnosed with renal failure and our youngest has a very sensitive stomach. We mix a little into soft food on a regular basis. It smells just like chicken bouillon and I'm guessing that is what entices my oldest to eat (for her we use it to get her to eat more do she gets enough calories). It's also solved a lot of the sensitive stomach issues for our youngest. We don't use a whole packet per day, just a little sprinkle in with some soft food or on top of some very low sodium tuna (Starkist brand - about 2 tablespoons). Our vet was kind enough to let us sample it at first, now we buy it by the box.

Didn't do much for my cat
My kitten of 6 month has been having diarrhea ever since I got him, my vet suggests that the food he was on was too rich and he has a very sensitive tummy. So we tried switching his food to a vet recommended special diet and added fortiflora to his food everyday. He didn't seem to improve much, his diarrhea was still runny its been 2 weeks. The first thing in the ingredients is animal digest, I understand it's probably there to promote eating, but I'm not sure if that's helping with my kitten who's suppose to be on a very strict diet. One thing that baffled me was that this only had one strain of bacteria, and there was no guaranteed analysis of how much bacteria culture is in each pouch. I'm not giving this product a negative review solely because it didn't help my cat, there might be other underlying problems, but I'm just very disappointed that a product suggested by a vet was this low of quality. Now I won't know if probiotics is not helping because my cat has some other health problem or if it's because there's not enough bacteria culture in fortiflora (since I have no idea how much there is) and not enough variety.

Keeps Kit Kats gut healthy during antibiotic tx
From UndisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for Cats 30 SachetsI purchased FortiFlora after an ER vet prescribed two types of antibiotics for an aggressive bacteria that Kit Kat will need to take for months. This was meant to help prevent damage to her gut while she is on these antibiotics. I haven't found a regular vet yet and was looking for a refill when we were running out. Found this on VetRx direct for a great price. Kit Kat actually enjoys the flavor and looks forward to having this sprinkled in her food. Received this product in good condition and it doesn't expire anytime soon. Since I've discovered VetRx, I've ordered a few other things too.-

Works
From UndisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for Cats 30 SachetsI have a French Bulldog, and anyone who owns one knows they are little hoover machines and like to eat anything and everything. We were having some gut issues with her and my Veterinarian recommended putting her on this probiotic. She's been on it for about 6 months and safe to say our gut problems are down to just here and there! She also loves the taste! -

Q & A
-
Is Hydra Care safe for a cat with kidney disease? Specifically, I wonder about the potassium content. Also, Should Hydra Care be fed separately from food? Does feeding it in food or alongside food change its composition enough to affect the hydrating ability (osmolarity)??
-
Purina Hydra Care is a nutrient-enriched water supplement that promotes healthy hydration in cats. According to the manufacturer, Hydra Care is recommended as a supplement for any cats who would benefit from additional water intake. Hydra Care should be offered separately, in a third bowl alongside your cat’s food and drinking water. 1 packet of Hydra Care contains 32.56 mg of Potassium. It is recommended to consult with your veterinarian to determine if Hydra Care is appropriate for your cat’s needs.

If I add Calming Care to refrigerated wet food and warm it slightly in the microwave, will that reduce effectiveness??
-
According to the manufacturer, warming the Calming Care some is okay. It is active up to a certain temperature. However, it is better to warm the food and then sprinkle the Calming Care on. The manufacturer does not recommend a microwave because the heat cannot be controlled as well.
