Can anyone recommend a good Probiotic for Yorkies?

We've used FortiFlora several times with great results, I also give it for a few days when changing Mike's food.

We use VetriScience Probiotic Everyday Chews. The two dogs who are on them take them as a lunchtime treat, and we know that they each get their dose as opposed to anything that we have tried "sprinkling" on their food. With three dogs who are free to graze all day, they each check the others' dishes several times a day, starting as soon as their morning chicken is gone. It is impossible to regulate the packets of probiotic with any certainty. Gus has an iron constitution and doesn't take a probiotic, but he gets a lunchtime supplement for skin and coat due to his cottony, dry hair and sensitive skin. At dinnertime they each get a hip and joint treat.

I used to give Forti Folora which my vet recommends. I now feed a Royal Canin food that has probiotics in it.
