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.

MIRACLE POWDER
I was at my witts end until my vet suggested this to me after a 3rd visit with my 3 legged fluffa - who happens to be a maine coon cat with long hair. Due to his hind leg being gone he has trouble burying his stuff. He had had loose stools ever since i found him which was getting worse. Within 2 to 3 feedings his stools returned to normal. This was such a god send- trying to clean his bottom and furr was very unpleasant. It has no smell and is much less stressful on the pet than trying to get a pill down. Highly suggest this.

From UndisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for DogsMy dog has a autoimmune disorder that effected his skin! Very rare! He is currently taking Atopica which can cause stomach issues. Even though he is only taking one tablet a week now his vet suggests that we keep him on the FortiFlora! It works superb! So easy to use with his food. Each morning he gets it with his kibble! He is doing fantastic and skin is great! His tummy is happy! Stools are normal and he rarely has any vomiting! So happy VetRxDirect has it available to purchase! -

Big fan of VetRxDirect
From UndisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for DogsThis product really is helpful for stopping diarrhea in my cat, and because my vet has advised that the next step in treatment is possibly a steroid, which I would like to avoid for as long as possible, I am glad to have found a product that is effective. And at a such a reasonable price, with a shipping break at that! from VetRxDirect. Wonderful company, can't say enough about them. Glad I found them. -
I will continue to buy from VetRxDirect!

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.?

VetRxDirect does not offer opinions or recommendations for over-the-counter products. Specific information about a drug or supplement can be addressed, but the recommendation to use or not use a product needs to be directed to your veterinarian, as they have the most in-depth knowledge on the health history of your pet.

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??

How come the price of this has increased so drastically??
-
We apologize for the increase in price. Unfortunately, we have no control over the acquisition costs from our distributors so whenever those costs rise, the price of the product does as well. We do offer coupons that you could use on orders to help with that cost as well. Thank you, VetRxDirect
