My vet has suggested that we add probiotics to Louies food because he's had some gas issues lately. I have been doing research online and there are so many. Does anyone have a recommendation for one that they use. Thanks.

Re: Probiotics
We use Purina FortiFlora. It's a little pricey, but works.
I buy it online from chewy.com

Re: Probiotics
Abby was on a probiotic. I found that she would throw some wild curves depending upon the probiotic. I ended up with animal essentials which was a plant base, and did not affect her.
How is Louie doing...he is such a special boy

Re: Probiotics
We use VetriScience Mega Probiotic. Jinx took them for a while and I didn't notice anything unusual with her BG. Azodyl, a kidney supplement, was the only thing she took that caused a noticeable trend of higher BG.
Wow, didn't realize how old this was.Comment

Re: Probiotics
+1 for FortiFlora. I actually vary between three brands daily, but FortiFlora is given typically twice a week. FortiFlora comes in individual packets that I guess are typical doses. Because Annie is a smaller dog, I divide the packet in half and serve it with her breakfast two days in a row. There SEEMS to be something in it that she really likes, and she generally eats the meal without stopping.Originally posted by MikeMurphy View Post
Before starting the probiotics, she could clear a room with her gas! Her gas ended with the probiotics: worth every penny!

Re: Probiotics
This thread is a bit dated but...
Both Scooter and I take a probiotic every three days or so. We use a brand called Puritan's Pride #1540 Acidophilus Plus. They are very inexpensive and are often on sale anyway. About $5 a bottle of 100 capsules. PP is a large mail order shop that's been around for many years. Very reputable company.
I pull the capsule apart and dump the powder into his food.
Which ever you buy, keep them in the fridge and they will stay fresher longer.Last edited by Scooterspal; 12-13-2017, 04:23 AM.Diagnosed 9/15/17. A 17 lb. terrier mutt, 15 years old.
