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.

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!-

Excellent product
From Aliquippa, Pa.Comments about FortiFlora Probiotic for DogsMy 2 yr. old dog always seemed to have looser bowels, and this seems to help that, and my older dog started licking her butt constantly and them licking the spot where she had laid. I was really starting to worry, so I started her on it too, and guess what, it really worked on her and she doesn't do it anymore. Thank goodness! It worked on her right away.

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.

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
