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.

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.-

This has saved his life
From UndisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for Cats 12 SachetsHe has always had problems defecating. So my vet told me to use meralex which works ONLY when he eats but if he cannot go , he will go days without eating or drinking. Which is the problem to start with.He NEVER drinks water. My friend told me about HYDRA CARE and now he will eat his food with that mixed with warm water. This has SAVED HIS LIFE-

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 70 lb mixed breed is taking Fortiflora for digestive issues/loose stool and it has now been suggested by a professional trainer that I put him on Calming Care for an anxiety related issue. Is there any reason he shouldn't be given both medications at the same time??
-
According to the manufacturer, you can give your pet both the Fortiflora probiotic supplement for dogs and the Calming Care calming probiotic for dogs. They recommend not giving both probiotics at the same feeding. Please consult your veterinarian regarding any further questions or concerns regarding this medication in your dog.

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.
