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.

Keeps Kit Kats gut healthy during antibiotic tx
From UndisclosedComments about Hydra Care 30 SachetsI purchased FortiFlora after an ER vet prescribed two types of antibiotics for an aggressive bacteria that Kit Kat will need to take for months. This was meant to help prevent damage to her gut while she is on these antibiotics. I haven't found a regular vet yet and was looking for a refill when we were running out. Found this on VetRx direct for a great price. Kit Kat actually enjoys the flavor and looks forward to having this sprinkled in her food. Received this product in good condition and it doesn't expire anytime soon. Since I've discovered VetRx, I've ordered a few other things too.-

Helped!
From UndisclosedComments about Hydra Care 45 Chewable TabletsMy vet recommended this probiotic because my dog was having a lot of digestive issues. I have had her on it for months now and not only have her toots been less offensive (if you have a Frenchie you know how bad they can be) but we have had normal tummy function and stools!-

RE: FortiFlora Loved by my cat & me!
From UndisclosedComments about Hydra Care 30 SachetsMy kitty, Bela, has kidney & GI issues. Forti Flora was highly recommended by her Vet, and has been a part of her treatment for several years. She enjoys the taste; also, I'm certain it contributes to her well-being, and helps her stay with me longer (-: It will remain an on-going part of her diet for sure!-

Actually works!!!
From UndisclosedComments about Hydra CareMy cat has kidney failure. After the first day he improved remarkably. After one week his kidney values went down quite a bit. They were going up the two previous blood tests. He has gained weight, is eating, and playing again.-
