Probios Vet Plus Dispersible Digestive Powder, 240gm

When my family finally decided to get chickens this past spring, I did a TON of research on how to raise them organically. We wanted organic, soy free eggs, so I read every book on raising chickens, researched the best organic feeds, and read every book/article/journal I could get my hands about chicken health.Probiotics are one of the most important supplements you can give to your chickens to keep them healthy without medicated feed! In fact, Purdue has commissioned TONS of research on raising antibiotic free chickens. While it is technically geared towards large commercial flocks, which I do not have and I'm against factory farming, the information is invaluable to smaller flocks of free-range, spoiled, and well-loved hens like ours!After doing all my reading and researching, I found that Probios is generally considered one of the best dispersible probiotics available. It is highly researched and is SQF Level 3 certified. That means that the manufacturing facility go through ANNUAL recertification audits and continues to meet the highest standards of food and supplement safety standards, both government and industry. So you can be assured you are receiving a quality and potent product.The 240 gram jar is perfect for those with small flocks or a family that includes multiple dogs/cats/other pets. We have 12 chickens and a jar lasts us approx 2 months. The powder can either be sprinkled on food or dispersed in drinking water. We personally add it to their drinking water to be certain they each get a good dose every day. When added to water, it dissolves easily with a little agitation. I use the shower sprayer on our hose and that works perfectly!While I can't tell you exactly how much my girls are getting, what I can tell you is that I managed to raise 12 very healthy and happy hens. I started them on probiotics from day 1, and I did not lose a single chick. They are now almost 8 months old and we have had ZERO health issues to date. So I'm a very happy chicken mom! So happy, in fact, that I bought some for our cats and dogs as well!Overall, this is a great product that is extremely affordable. For fellow chicken moms, this will help keep your girls happy and healthy even on organic feed!Highly Recommended!

I didn't realize until my vet pointed it out to me, but the first ingredient in this product is sucrose. That's right: Sugar. Try it on your cereal, and you'll see what I mean. While Probios does contain several strains of lactobacillus, there are no bifido cultures. My vet recommended instead a more potent human probiotic that has a much higher concentration of both lactobacillus and bifido bacterium -- and, of course, no sugar or other stuff that's no better for animals than for us. That's what my chickens will be getting, and because I don't want the sugar either, the Probios will go in the trash.

I returned this because it contains aluminum as an anti-caking agent. While there are many human products that add aluminum for the same purpose and there are assurances that it's safe, there are also studies that indicate that aluminum can cause placental problems in pregnant moms. The health benefits of the probiotics don't outweigh the concerns I have about aluminum for my tiny female dogs. It's probably fine for non-breeding animals, especially larger ones. The price point is certainly good.

Easy to use - just follow dosage chart on jar and sprinkle on food. We have an elderly rescued boxer mix (~60lbs) with pancreas / stomach issues and as long as we give her this and her special (low fat) diet she’s been great! She is very finicky and does not complain about this in her food at all. I definitely noticed a change in her bowel movement the day we ran out of the probios. I reordered immediately and will be sure that doesn’t happen again. We also give this to our older ~150lb Great Dane mix as a precautionary measure as he has Addison’s disease. Definitely doesn’t hurt!

My rescued golden retriever was 3 when I adopted him off the streets. He had significant stomach issues and regular episodes of diarrhea. After $1000 worth of testing at the vet, he was diagnosed with colitis. He was prescribed Purina EN kibble and vitamin B shots (that I administered myself). I was still seeing some inconsistency in my golden's waste. After investigating online, I gave PROBIOS a try about 2 years ago and my dog has been taking it ever since. I literally put a sprinkle of the Probios powder (about a 1/4 teaspoon) on his morning kibble (brand: always Purina EN). (He's about 75 lbs in weight). I only give him this in the morning, as it totally regulates his bowels. To me, this has been an amazing "find" for my family, as it was difficult for us to take trips, the yard was getting soiled and I was having to get up in the middle of the night to let him outdoors. My vet is aware that I'm using Probios for my dog and has taken the Probios info. that I provided her, so she can share with other dog owners.

I own 3 Great Danes, and a Heeler mix. I tell everyone this is a MUST for Great Danes, and other fur babies as well!! I give it daily. My 3 Danes are insanely picky, and they do not even realize this is on their food! My female Dane could not gain weight, and my adult male Dane had constant loose stools, with full diarrhea often... This healed them, and continues to keep them healthy!!

This just arrived this afternoon, the Probios.I have 5 very sick kittens about 6 months old. As soon as i got it in the house I gave two of them one teaspoon over food and fed it to them. They loved it and ate it all up and within a few hours, only a few hours, the stool was firm and almost normal. I was told by a vet to get this stuff and I am happy. It works very well and if you have sick kittens or sick cats with diarrhea, this is the best thing you can buy. I have done everything and nothing worked until now. Texas is happy and my kittens are healing quickly due to Probois. The cup of product is exactly as advertised.

It was shipped quickly, and I received it well packaged for shipping from the seller. It's a great product! I give it to goats before I dewormed them or give them any other medications. It protects their delicate tummies from being unbalanced by medications. I also give it in a mixture with raspberry leaves, oats, warm water, and a bit of molasses to does right after they kid to help them balance out from giving birth.I'll definitely order this product from this seller again.

It smells good will see what it's like in a few weeks horses seam to like it

Exactly as advertised
