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.

Hydra-Care is Helping Our Cat
From UndisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for Cats 12 SachetsOur cat loves this Hydra-Care, which was recommended by our Vet. It's helping her to stay hydrated and to use her litter box more often, which is much healthier for her. It's also a terrific way of delivering medications to her, since the flavor of the Hydra-Care masks the flavor of the medication.-

Can I give this to a litter of 5 week old puppies that have diarrhea. They have been diagnosed with round worms. They have been de wormed. But still have diarrhea. If so how much per 5 pound pup?
-
The manufacturer does not provide any specific instructions for using this product in young puppies with low body weights. In general, probiotics have been used successfully to treat diarrhea. However, product selection, dosing, and directions can differ. It is recommended that you consult with your veterinarian before using a probiotic product for your puppies.

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.?

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.

My cat gets a daily dose of Rena Kare Gel. Is this compatible? Also, I premix his food & medication for pet sitters when we're going to be away. Is there any problem doing this??
-
According to the manufacturer of Rena Kare, you should consult your veterinarian before giving your pet any supplementation products, such as the FortiFlora. In regard to pre-mixing the FortiFlora, it is okay to mix with food or water, but once the packet is opened, the contents must be used within one day.

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
