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.

Highly recommend Feline FortiFlora for your cat.
From undisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for CatsOur cat will open cupboard doors and pull these out, open the box and the envelopes and eat it straight from the box. When he is finicky all we need to do is sprinkle it on his food. -

Tear stains are gone!
From Roanoke, TXComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for CatsI ordered Fortiflora (canine) for my 3 year old male English Bulldog with ulcerative colitis. He has been on Fortiflora since he was diagnosed over a year ago. While I was away from home, our pet sitter gave Fortiflora daily to our 2 year old white female English Bulldog also. We had tried several products for tear staining with no real good outcomes. Medicated wipes seemed to help a little but nothing had cleared up her rust stained wrinkles or stopped her excessive tearing. Six consecutive days of Fortiflora were enough to see big improvement when we returned home and now, two weeks later, she has just a faint pink tint to her wrinkles and no tearing. -
Exactly the same as provided by the vet, only cheaper
From Kirkwood, MOComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for CatsForti-Flora for dogs is the same stuff I used to purchase from the vet, same brand, same packaging, same everything, except price. I buy a 6-month supply at a time and it is about 2/3 the price the vet sells it for. I'm not cheap, but this stuff costs about the same as my dog's food, which means the price of feeding her is almost double. Any price break is appreciated. -

From Tampa, FL, USAComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for CatsHave a 12yr old Jack Russell. Great health/zero issues until last year. Multi-pancreatitis episodes without known cause. Finally concluded with multiple consults combo or IBS and older liver coupled with high bile production. On meds for most BUT, a probiotic like FortiFlora is considered a base line must have for any such conditions. Glad we're on it and happy our little guy is still running and jumping! -
Works wonders!
From Snoqualmie, WA, USAComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for CatsWe have been using FortiFlora for our Weimeraner ever since we adopted her through a rescue group. She had serious issues with gas which was unpleasant for us and her. This product has helped tremendously! -

From MinnesotaComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for CatsI have a cat on a special diet for a sensitive stomach. I have used Forta Flora on her food for about 4 years. I really believe it helps calm her stomach. Plus she loves athe taste of it. Vetrxdirect has a good price and I buy it three boxes at a time. -
Godsend!
From Houston, TX, USAComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for CatsI purchase this monthly for my eight year old cat who suffers from loose stools from time to time...has made all the difference in his health! I mix a packet into a serving of canned chicken cat food. My other kitty also likes the taste, and the vet has assured me it is fine for him as well...it's also much more affordable from VetRx Direct!!

Hello, I have been reading up on giving cats with suppressed immune systems probiotics and most say you should not. It also says the same with humans. My vet told me to give it, but I think her immune system is compromised due to long term use of prednisolone (due to intestinal cancer) since she now has what seems to be a cold. I think I am probably making matters worse. What is your opinion? Now I have no idea what to give her for diarrhea. Thank you.?
-

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

have a rescue puppy and they gave us fortiflora to use but the packet is for feline..can puppy use this or do need one for canine/?
-
Belle, The FortiFlora feline and canine products contain the same ratio of nutritional components such as protein, fat, and fiber as well as the same inactive ingredients. Also, the same microorganism, Enterococcus faecium, is used at the same concentration for both products. The two FortiFlora products appear to be the same based on the information provided by the manufacturer. Your puppy's veterinarian may have additional information on the product so we do recommend contacting him or her for further advice. Thank you, VetRxDirect
