Probiotic/Digestive Enzymes Hello everyone! Reese's veterinary recommended that Reese should be on probiotic/digestive enzymes supplement and the one his veterinary was recommending was at least $80+. I told his veterinary that I'll do some research to see if I could find one that was inexpensive and if not, I'll purchase it. I don't mind spending that much but if I could find an inexpensive alternative, why not, right? I found a couple that I like but I would like to know what you use on your babies. Thank you! -From Reese & I! |
I like Nature's Farmacy - Nature's Farmacy - Store - Results Either the Probiotic Max (this is what I use now) or the Dogzymes Digestive Enhancer (have used this as well). |
I sprinkle a little Forti Flora on Kinder's breakfast every morning. She loves it too. Susan |
I'm curious --- is there a reason why dogs can't have probiotics made for humans? Does anybody know? |

Drs Foster & Smith Probiotics Plus has been a godsend for my 15 year old Jake who was having terrible diarrhea due to chronic renal failure. It's pretty inexpensive, they ship quickly, and it doesn't have to be refrigerated. AND he actually likes them! |
So, exactly why do you give probiotics? |

Hmmm, maybe I should look into this! |

Do any pet stores carry it? Or does it have to be ordered online? (Im in Canada) |
I reach for them every time they have a bout of loose stools or they have eaten something different. They save the day ALWAYS! |
It's also a good preventative any time your dog (or you) has to take antibiotics. Antibiotics not only kill the bad bacteria, they will also kill some of the beneficial bacteria. The probiotics will restore or maintain the proper balance in the intestinal tract. About 40 years ago, my aunt had a friend that was prescribed antibiotics, and she foolishly thought that if taking it as prescribed was going to cure her, why not just take them all at once? It put her in the hospital and she almost didn't make it. There is another way to restore balance in the gut .... fecal transplants: Fecal transplants may stall as FDA cracks down on docs - NBC News.com |

Ralston-Purina, the manufacturer of Forti-Flora routinely do invasive and harmful testing on dogs after which they kill many of the dogs they test their products on. Thought I'd let you know. |
Thank you everyone for your help! I decided to get the Probiotic Max from Nature's Farmacy --- all thanks to Wylie's mom! |
I know this is an old post. But if you need one that is a lot more affordable than that, I would recommend the ones from Natural Goal, enzymes they also have probiotics. :) |

I also use this for Boomer and he loves it. I don't know if the powder alone is doing the trick or if its a combination of his new grain free diet but his stool is doing much better. The price for 30 packets is about $21.00 on Amazon. |
