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.

So far it's good
From Cherry Valley NYComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for DogsMy vet recommended this because my cat has stage 2 renal failure and the goal is to get my cat as hydrated as possible, so far my cat felix likes it. -
Works
From UndisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for Dogs 30 SachetsI have a French Bulldog, and anyone who owns one knows they are little hoover machines and like to eat anything and everything. We were having some gut issues with her and my Veterinarian recommended putting her on this probiotic. She's been on it for about 6 months and safe to say our gut problems are down to just here and there! She also loves the taste! -
Great for giving meds to difficult cat
From UndisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for Dogs 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. -

Helps keep my cats hydrated
From UndisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for Dogs 12 SachetsThese have been doing a great job assisting with hydrating my cats, both of which have a health issue. They like the flavor and drink it up pretty quickly. -
Much needed hydration for my CKD kitty
From UndisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for Dogs 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!-

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

HI, I have a math question. For one box of FortiFlora it is $23.99. Your ad says if you buy three boxes you will save $36.84. My trusty calculator tells me 3 times $23.99 = $71.97. I'm only seeing a savings of $4.48. Can you explain? Thanks, Susan?
-
Susan, The ‘Save $36.84’ that you see is showing you a savings over the average price available on the internet for a particular item. The savings we have offered for purchasing a larger quantity (a package of 3 or 6 boxes) is not calculated from the average savings, it is a savings we offer for the higher quantity purchase. We hope that helps take some of the confusion out of the numbers! Thank you, VetRxDirect
