VETRISCIENCEExtra Strength Gut Health Capsules, Probiotic & Prebiotic Digestive Supplement for Dogs & Cats, Digestion Support, Gas & Diarrhea, Immune Support, 7.5 Billion CFU Per Capsule, 180 Count

These capsules are so easy to sprinkle onto pups food daily to maintain healthy gut balance. Less farts, winning! Absolutely notice a difference when I run out of these, dutched out by one of my pups in particular lol.

These probiotics are great! My cat has IBD so I sprinkle this lightly on his food and it gives him healthy, firm stools. He is full of energy and joy. I have tried many other probiotics for him but these are the best.VetriScience, please never change it or add unnecessary harmful ingredients and you have a customer for life.

Note That This Is In Capsule Form!!I adopted a young dog from the animal shelter 6 weeks ago, and the poor thing had constant loose stools/diarrhea despite all my efforts. I used several rounds of cooked rice and chicken blended in the blender with only temporary success.I have purchased 3 types of probiotics to experiment with here on Amazon, and this is the first to be tested. Within 24 hours he was much improved. It has been a week now, and although his stools are not totally solid/dry, they are much better.He has some skin irritations which have not changed with the use of this product, but perhaps that condition will improve with time.The capsule form is messy to give him in peanut butter, and his appetite is inconsistent, ie: he may or may not finish a certain amount of food he is given at any one time. A powdered form of probiotic sprinkled onto his food might lead to inconsistent administration of the "good stuff" unless I mixed it into a small amount of soft food first. I simply press two capsules into a teaspoon of peanut butter and he swallows it all whole. Of course, Pill Pockets would work too.UPDATE #1: Use caution when handling this product--It looks like any other white capsule. I take an almost identical probiotic myself, and this morning I mixed them up and mistakenly took the VertriScience! This afternoon I found myself in the middle of the street licking myself and a car came around the corner and almost hit me!Update #2I purchased 3 probiotics from Amazon for my dogs [3 pooches; 2 with moderate to severe diarrhea]:VetriScience Laboratories Mega ProbioticDoggone Best Products ProbioticsNucleOtics ProbioticsVertiScience made a definite improvement, but the capsules were difficult as one of my dogs will spit them out or did not eat them if mixed in the food. Pill Pockets are expensive, and peanut butter is messy. The other option is to open them up and sprinkle the contents on the food. But why then have a capsule, which is an extra cost?Next I used the Doggone Best, which is a loose powder. The digestive health continued without change. I only used about 2/3 of the 8 ounce jar before experimenting with NucleOtics.NucleOtics has a lot of yeast, and is only 2.12 ounces. Again, a loose powder with a tiny scoop. The loose stools returned, but not bad as before starting, but bad enough that I went back to The Doggone Best.My conclusion is that Doggone Best is the choice for me, although VetriScience is a good product.. Doggone offers good value for an effective product. The drawback is the scoops in Doggone and NucleOtics are tiny—easily lost in the jar, and a lot of powder ends up on one’s hands. I suggest that you get an idea of how much product is right for your dog—using the scoops provided a few times, then toss them and simply sprinkle the powder on the food. Adding some water or canned food to kibble will help it stick and be consumed by your dog[s].Overall, mark me a big believer in probiotics for dogs!

Summary:Reason for use? Seasonal allergy/gut support.Does it work? No way for me to know.Will I keep using it? Probably, just in case it does work.Do I recommend it? It’s worth a try.I bought this as part of an allergy treatment since there’s been a lot of discoveries about how the gut impacts the rest of the body (in humans anyway). My dog had nasty hot spots and eventually was on an Rx medication from the vet. I decided to try some herbal products and this probiotic in an attempt to support her system and get the itching under control. Eventually took her off the Rx and herbal supplements but kept her on this probiotic. (I still have no idea if the supplements/meds helped “cure” her or if enough time passed that the seasonal allergen wasn’t around anymore but the itching was less with the meds)My dog never had digestive issues (no gas problems or diarrhea) and her poop was always fine/consistent, so adding this didn’t change it that much. For <$30 I get 2 months worth of pills. If I place it on top of her food she eats it without fuss. Sometimes I’ll open it and sprinkle the contents on her food, but I don’t have to. She has only spit the pills out a few times. I’d imagine it has a neutral flavor based on the nonexistent smell.For the price I’m happy to keep giving it to my dog on the chance that it helps.

I have been giving these for about 3 weeks to an ibs cat and a cat with hairballs. I like that they are for cats and dogs, so I can give them to my dogs for antibiotic courses too. The ibs cat hasn’t really improved but hasn’t gotten worse so I can’t complain. The hairball cat has really been doing well, he has long hair and doesn’t like to be brushed, so he gets frequent hairballs and also is prone to the scarf-n-barf (probably due to the hairball brewing in his stomach). There have been no hairballs and I scarf-n-barfs and I’m even feeding him larger volumes than I would with water added to mix in the probiotic. Both cats readily eat the probiotic, I add it to their food (wet or kibble) and add some water to mix it in. This will be a long term supplement for both.

Two months ago my 10+ yo, large-breed Agility champion had an entire night of diarrhea & vomiting. Her last meal included some kibble from a new bag of the same food that she had been eating for years, which caused her problems (according to the manufacturer). Since none of my dogs had had diarrhea & vomiting for many years, I did not have a solution on hand. A friend recommended Vetri Mega Probiotic (VMP), & Amazon delivered it the next day. Right away, I switched this dog to a different kibble (one that she had eaten successfully in the past) & gave her VMP after each meal. Her bowels immediately returned to normal & have remained normal ever since. Yay!This success got me to thinking about another dog of mine who has had excess tartar on her teeth since puppyhood with no solution from the vet/PetSmile/other efforts. I decided to see whether VMP might help her. Within two weeks of taking VMP daily, her teeth had significantly less tartar build-up. Now -- one month into taking VMP -- her teeth are tartar-free. Yay again!I am impressed! VMP is a truly wonderful product, & I highly recommend it!
