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.

An excellent product that works!
From UndisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for Cats 30 SachetsThis is a great product to assist with regulating my dog's fussy stomach. As someone who takes probiotics myself, I know the benefits and I am happy to endorse this vet-recommended supplement for a healthier belly. You still get to do the belly rubs, but 100% from love, not a bellyache. The price was the most reasonable as well.-

Good stuff
From UndisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for Cats 12 SachetsHappy seems to like it. Not as enthusiastic as he was when he first tried it, but he's just like that. I think I'll probably still give him his fluids occasionally, because he doesn't always finish the whole pouch, but I'm glad to have it for him.-

Great for giving meds to difficult cat
From UndisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for Cats 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. -
Much needed hydration for my CKD kitty
From UndisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for Cats 12 SachetsMy kitty Rudy has kidney disease and was also recently diagnosed with heart disease, which required me to cut way down on the sub-q fluids I was giving him because his heart can't take the fluid load. So I really needed a way to keep him hydrated. Two of our vets mentioned Hydra Care to us and so we tried it. Rudy loves it and drinks the entire portion without coming up for air. We're hoping it will be helpful for his kidneys, lab results are pending. Keep your paws crossed!-

My kitten got into the box... Can they overdose??
-
FortiFlora is a probiotic and contains no active medications, so your cat will not overdose. According to the manufacturer, the primary concern would be your cat ingesting the packaging materials (e.g. box, tape). If packaging materials were ingested, the manufacturer recommends to continue feeding your pet normally and observe them to ensure no intestinal blockage of the packaging materials. Speak to your veterinarian with further concerns.

thefortiflora is there a reason i cant pet my pet?
-
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
