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.

Keeping Pup Healthy
From UndisclosedComments about Calming Care 90 Chewable TabletsOur vet recommended Fortiflora for our pup's gut health, she has some allergies and a sensitive tummy. We drop a chewable in her food once a day and she gobbles it right up! Glad this comes in a 90 tab supply so we don't have to order very frequently. #sweepstakes-

Keeps Kit Kats gut healthy during antibiotic tx
From UndisclosedComments about Calming Care 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.-

Great for giving meds to difficult cat
From UndisclosedComments about Calming Care 12 SachetsI needed something to mask the taste of medicine and supplements for my cat who is difficult to give oral meds. Hydra Care is amazing! She can smell it when I open the pouch and goes crazy until I give it to her. -

Can FortiFlora be given with Tylan powder??
-
FortiFlora can be given to balance a dog's digestive system, reducing stomach upset and diarrhea. FortiFlora may help dogs while they are taking antibiotics like Tylan powder, as antibiotics could potentially cause loose stools or diarrhea. There are no known drug interactions between these two products, so they may be given together. Thank you, VetRxDirect
