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.

An excellent product that works!
From UndisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for Cats 30 SachetsThis is a great product to assist with regulating my dog's fussy stomach. As someone who takes probiotics myself, I know the benefits and I am happy to endorse this vet-recommended supplement for a healthier belly. You still get to do the belly rubs, but 100% from love, not a bellyache. The price was the most reasonable as well.-

Works
From UndisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for Cats 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! -

My cat doesn't like it.
From UndisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for CatsI put Hydra Care out in a bowl next to my cat's feeding area. He has ignored it every day since I started it. I feed him wet food morning and night and have started mixing a teaspoon of it in his food at each feeding and he eats the food. But the packets contain too much to mix it all in. I don't know if it can be refrigerated and re-used over the next few days. If so, I might consider buying it again, but as of now, I'm not. -
Tummy troubles gone.
From UndisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for CatsI use this twice daily on her kibble. Prior to using this my dog had lots of flatulence. Now that problem is solved. -
Probiotic for digestive health
From UndisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for CatsStrongly recommended by veterinarians as a digestive aid, a highly effective, affordable and easy daily medication (no prescription required) that helps keep pets regular, comfortable and healthy. -
I would definitely buy & recommend this product!
From UndisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for CatsI can't say enough about the Purina Pro Plan veterinary Calming Care. It's very easy to use, you sprinkle one packet on top of your dogs food and that's all there is to it. To see the effect, in my experience and using it on my own dog it took about a week. Please note, every dog is different so that timeframe may not apply to your pet. She was having some issues of being very nervous in new surroundings,. From what my veterinarian had told me when a dog gets nervous or anxious it affects the gut. The Calming Care is a probiotic, which helps settle the uneasiness in the belly. She compared it to when people have to stand up in front of a room of strangers and give a speech, they get that queasy feeling in the belly, the probiotics settle all that down. I am so happy that Vetrxdirect carries this product! -
Big fan of VetRxDirect
From UndisclosedComments about FortiFlora Probiotic for CatsThis 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. -

Q & A

Is there any problem with my warming food from refrigerator that has Calming Care in it? I don't make it hot. I just make it lukewarm.?
-
According to the manufacturer, warming the Calming Care some is okay. It is active up to a certain temperature. However, it is better to warm the food and then sprinkle the Calming Care on. The manufacturer does not recommend a microwave because the heat cannot be controlled as well.

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.

I mistakenly ordered the canine Fortiflora instead of the feline Fortiflora. Can I use the canine version with my cat and what is the difference? My cat weighs 9 Ibs. if that is relevant.?
-
Judy, The FortiFlora feline and canine products contain the same ratio of nutritional components such as protein, fat and fiber as well as the same inactive ingredients. Also, the same microorganism, Enterococcus faecium, is used at the same concentration for both products. The only difference between the two formulations is the addition of taurine in the feline product. According to the manufacturer, taurine has been added for immune system health. Your veterinarian may have additional information on the product so we do recommend contacting him or her for further advice. Thank you, VetRxDirect

How often do you feed a dog this? Can you give this,say once a week,for preventative reasons..Or,do you just give it when they have diarrhea?..My Yorkie has a very sensitive stomach and the vet has to give us this once about every 6 months.?
-
Clinical studies for the treatment or prevention of diarrhea with probiotics in veterinary medicine are lacking in general. Most data on prevention and treatment is taken from human clinical studies. Probiotic studies, of varying quality, that have been conducted in cats and dogs show promise in shortening the duration of diarrhea. If the diarrhea appears to be stress related (relates to training, home environment change, etc.), preventative therapy a few weeks ahead of the stress inducing event may be beneficial for your pet. Long-term administration of probiotics for chronic diseases causing diarrhea may also be necessary. For this reason, it is important to consult with your pet’s veterinarian before determining the best treatment option and duration. Thank you, VetRxDirect

What is the difference between this product and human probiotics??
-
Phillip, Fortiflora, just like all probiotics, contain live organisms to help promote intestinal health. Probiotics will vary to some degree, differing from the potency and number of different live organisms; fungus and bacteria. The choice of bacteria strain for FortiFlora has been specifically chosen for cats and dogs and also includes other ingredients: protein, fat, and fiber. Thank you, VetRxDirect /
