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.

Great Product for My Dog's Gut Health
From Chicago IllinoisComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for CatsMy dog has a delicate gut. He is allergic to chicken. He always suffered from stomach aches. He would lean forward like a vulture and pace around. My vet suggested this product and he is feeling so much better. He is perky again and he doesn't have that bloat which was visual. He is so happy now and so am I. It's hard to know when your dog does not feel good. They can't tell you. You really have to watch their behavior. I am so happy with this product. -

From UndisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for CatsMy vet recommended for my cat that was getting urinary blockage, he drinks it but all my cats share it, especially my older ones -
Yes we will keep buying this as long as we need to
From UndisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for CatsFor our 15 year old cat that has 2nd stage renal failure and he loves the taste -
My cat doesn't like it.
From UndisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for CatsI put Hydra Care out in a bowl next to my cat's feeding area. He has ignored it every day since I started it. I feed him wet food morning and night and have started mixing a teaspoon of it in his food at each feeding and he eats the food. But the packets contain too much to mix it all in. I don't know if it can be refrigerated and re-used over the next few days. If so, I might consider buying it again, but as of now, I'm not.
