Pro-Pectalin Antidiarrheal Gel and Tablets for Dogs and Cats
What is Pro-Pectalin?
Pro-Pectalin is a product that blends pectin, kaolin, and enterococcus faecium together into one easy to dose gel or tablet. Kaolin is a natural aluminum silicate, pectin is a carbohydrate derived from citrus fruits and apples, and enterococcus faecium is a bacteria. The blend of these three ingredients can help with the symptoms of diarrhea by protecting the lining of the gastrointestinal tract, adsorbing fluids in the GI tract, and by providing healthy bacterial flora to the GI tract.
What is important to know about Pro-Pectalin?
Pro-Pectalin shouldn’t be relied on to control severe diarrhea, and should not replace the fluid and electrolyte monitoring of a veterinarian. Pro-Pectalin may also cause some slight constipation if used at high doses for long periods of time. It is important to follow instructions from your pet's veterinarian on how to use this product. This product may also affect the absorption of some medications, so it would be best to contact your pharmacist at VetRxDirect to make sure it won’t affect your pet’s other medications. If your pet develops a lack of energy, a high fever, or if their diarrhea does not improve, contact your pet's veterinarian as soon as possible.

A life saver!
My kitty has cancer and was throwing up and had diarrhea. This product takes care of both problems. Because it smooths and promotes a healthy digestive track I know that she feels so much better. I'm thankful I found this product.

Poor Customer Service
Hello,
I ordered this product for my cat who has had diarrhea for several months following a move to a new home and the stress of a now mobile toddler. The product took a very long time to arrive which is not a huge problem itself, but wish it would have been expressed clearly before ordering. After feeding my cat the 1/2 a pill he threw up about an hour later. I tried once more 8 hours later thinking maybe he just had a hair ball or something and he threw up again. I realize spending $50 on a product that may not work is a risk, and one that I was willing to take. In order to learn more about what happened and ask for advice, I shared my experience in an email to the team (email address I had used before to follow up on arrival date, so I know they received it). See below. I do not understand why they have not replied and it seems they only care about selling their product versus having any interest in my experience with their product or about my cats health.
Hello,
I was hoping you could help me with some advice about my order. The Pro-Pectalin arrived yesterday and I gave my cat 1/2 a pill (he weights 13lbs), he threw it up with his food about a half hour later. Since I wasn?t sure if it was the probiotics or not I hesitantly tried again 8 hours later, same result.
Have you heard of this happening? I?m just so bummed. My cat?s had persistent diarrhea for some time now and read so many good reviews on how this product would help. Not to mention the cost. He did enjoy the taste and gobbled it right down.
Thanks for any advice

Pro-Pectalin good for dogs with loose poops
From undisclosedComments about Pro-PectalinOur pup had very bad loose stools. Part of vet's treatment plan was Pro-Pectalin tabs for 7 days. They helped firm up her stool so I bought them online to avoid the ridiculous markup charged by the vet, since it looks like she'll need digestive calming for the foreseeable future. She puts anything organic in her mouth and already had Giardia. Since she's been on 2 tabs twice daily (recommended dose is up to 6 tabs), we see a consistency that is, well, pick-up-able. She loves the tabs (they smell good) and gobbles them whole so we end up cutting them into bits with a sharp knife because they are practically impossible to break along the line of the tab. We put the pieces (and the resulting dust) into her meals. -

Great
From San Juan, PRComments about Pro-PectalinI have 4 dogs, we decided to switch their food, for all of them, to natural and raw foods. Pro-Pectalin eased their stomachs, specially for one of them who has an extremely sensitive one.. -

Only one that works on my cat
From Sugar Land TXComments about Pro-PectalinI have tried three probiotics and my cat will not touch them. I even tried the syringe of pro-pectalin and he ate it for a little while and then he turned his nose up. When I found him he had hookworms and a severe intestinal infection that he has never fully recovered from, even after several vet visits, so diarrhea has been a daily occurrence. I was having to chop up the huge pro-pectalin pills from the vet and then this website had it in a powder form!! So much easier to give to a small cat in his wet food twice a day and he loves it! -
Wonderful product!

Pro-Pectalin is a nutritional supplement labeled to support intestinal health that contains probiotics, kaolin, and pectin.

I have a Husky/Shepherd Mix (she's a rescue) so I'm not 100% sure of what breed she is... She's approximately 60 lbs; and I was wondering how much I should give to her daily. Also I was wondering if a prescription is needed to purchase??
-
For the Pro-Pectalin tablets, according to the manufacturer, you should give one tablet per 20 lbs of body weight every 8 hours. For your husky, this would be three tablets by mouth every 8 hours. The manufacturer says that the tablets can be given whole or crumbled and given with food at meal time. For the Pro-Pectalin gel or paste, the manufacturer recommends giving 8 mL (or cc) every 8 hours to dogs 61 pounds and over, or giving 5 mL every 8 hours to dogs 31-60 pounds. Please consult with your veterinarian prior to administering Pro-Pectalin. Your veterinarian may choose to recommend a higher or lower dose, or even a different medication or supplement.. A prescription is not required to purchase Pro-Pectalin..

The dosage for a cat is 1cc. Our cat accidentally got a 2cc dose. Will the overdose harm him? He has constant diarrhea. Should I skip the next does since he got a double dose??
-
I believe I had to order this two years ago when my cat was vomitting and showing some loose stool. Is this a chalky white substance? Will see my vet tomorrow and she will tell me what to order, but I wanted to be certain this was the product I ordered earlier.?
-
Pro-Pectalin is in the form of an oral gel (that may have a chalky consistency). This product is intended to treat loose stool.

How long should it be given before one would say that the diarrhea has not improved? My cat's vet prescribed it last Monday after my cat had already been having diarrhea for 5 days. My cat is still having diarrhea and has been on the propectalin, tylan powder, kp-sol, and diphenoxylate for a week. Prior to that he had been only taking the tylan powder and kp-sol, but for 5 days already. All meds prescribed by vet.?
-
Its is recommended to consult your veterinarian if your cat's condition does not improve despite appropriate use of this medication, particularly if the diarrhea persists for longer than 48 hours after starting treatment. Please talk with your pet's veterinarian about your cat's persistent symptoms and follow their recommendations.
