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.

Keeping Pup Healthy
From UndisclosedComments about Calming Care 90 Chewable TabletsOur vet recommended Fortiflora for our pup's gut health, she has some allergies and a sensitive tummy. We drop a chewable in her food once a day and she gobbles it right up! Glad this comes in a 90 tab supply so we don't have to order very frequently. #sweepstakes-

Great Product for My Dog's Gut Health
From Chicago IllinoisComments about Calming CareMy dog has a delicate gut. He is allergic to chicken. He always suffered from stomach aches. He would lean forward like a vulture and pace around. My vet suggested this product and he is feeling so much better. He is perky again and he doesn't have that bloat which was visual. He is so happy now and so am I. It's hard to know when your dog does not feel good. They can't tell you. You really have to watch their behavior. I am so happy with this product. -

Is it ok to mix with water and to use with syringe by mouth? My cat doesnt like and won't eat with food.?

According to the manufacturer it is alright to mix Fortiflora with water and administer it in an oral syringe by mouth. Once the packet is opened the contents must be used within one day. Thank you, VetRxDirect

HI, I have a math question. For one box of FortiFlora it is $23.99. Your ad says if you buy three boxes you will save $36.84. My trusty calculator tells me 3 times $23.99 = $71.97. I'm only seeing a savings of $4.48. Can you explain? Thanks, Susan?
-
Susan, The ‘Save $36.84’ that you see is showing you a savings over the average price available on the internet for a particular item. The savings we have offered for purchasing a larger quantity (a package of 3 or 6 boxes) is not calculated from the average savings, it is a savings we offer for the higher quantity purchase. We hope that helps take some of the confusion out of the numbers! Thank you, VetRxDirect

have a rescue puppy and they gave us fortiflora to use but the packet is for feline..can puppy use this or do need one for canine/?
-
Belle, 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 two FortiFlora products appear to be the same based on the information provided by the manufacturer. Your puppy's veterinarian may have additional information on the product so we do recommend contacting him or her for further advice. Thank you, VetRxDirect
