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

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

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

There are reported cases of cats with diabetes using FortiFlora and not having any adverse events.
