Dr. Mercola Complete Probiotics Dog & Cat Supplement, 3.17-oz jar

Mercola complete probiotics is the blend that works best for our dog who has severe IBD and has been taking prednisone for more than four out of her five years of life. The Internal Medicine vet recommended that we switch to this brand, and that we give full dose twice daily, since the medicines destroy beneficial flora in The digestive tract. It has made a big difference for this dog. Prior to switching to Mercola, I could not vary her diet at all without it causing inflammation and diarrhea and bleeding. Now, I still have to cook for her, but can rotate her diet so that she gets a variety of flavors and nutrition without an IBD flareup. She's much happier now at mealtime!

I have an eight year old Yorkie with a sensitive stomach. He eats moist and fresh dog food, small meals three times daily. Prior to adding this probiotic he would occasionally throw up yellow bile. Since adding it he has not thrown up in over a year. I add a half of scoop every morning for maintenance. Great price on chewy and it arrives in 2 days. Just started auto renewal. Thx!

My cats absolutely hate this. I put maybe 1/4 of a dose on dry food or mix it up in wet food and they refuse to eat it completely. I've also seen no improvement in either cat's bowel movements. (One struggles with mild constipation and the other has IBD).

I've been using this product routinely for a few years, and I'm so happy to see that Chewy is now carrying the Mercola pet product line. I think probiotics are good to give whether your pet has health issues or not. I especially trust this brand because it was developed by Dr. Karen Becker who has been a reputable integrative vet for over 20 years. One of my cats has IBD, and when I ran out of this for a few days she had loose stools. As soon as she got back on these probiotics her stool went back to normal. Also this probiotic blend contains the strain s. boulardii which is especially good for helping cats with IBD. I also like that this product does not include prebiotics.

Prebiotics feed good and bad bacteria which might not be a good idea for an animal that's immune compromised, or has IBD like my cat. If you have a healthy cat then you could add a prebiotic such as a small amount of psyllium. This product has a faint scent but both my cats don't mind it mixed in their food. Since cats have such a strong sense of smell it's good to go slow and add just a pinch at first, and then gradually build up to the appropriate dose. The improvements that I would suggest for this product would be to ideally package the product in an amber glass bottle rather than plastic to better preserve it, and to be more eco friendly; or at least reduce the size of the plastic container since even the new container is literally half empty when you first open it. Also Dr. Mercola used to do NASC certification on their pet products to guarnatee quality which they no longer do. It would be great if they would go back to being NASC certified to best ensure quality standards of their pet products. … more

I have been giving these to my 1 year old tortie who suffers from an uneasy stomach and I have seen great results. The only downside is you really have to be creative for them to eat it, because they don’t appreciate the way it smells. So I’ve just been mixing it in with some wet food and she gobbles it right up. For anyone with a kitty who’s tummy just doesn’t settle right id definitely give a combination of these with the Dr. Mercola Digestive Enzymes a go!

I know the benefits of probiotics for my own health and my pets need them too. I like Dr. Mercola products and also use the pet enzymes. Wise to do especially if your pet is on a kibble only diet.

I very much liked this product. I have two pets with frequent stomach issues. I just mix it into their food. It seemed to help quite a bit. Only thing I don't like is that the container is very deceiving. I used this up fast. The container is only about 1/3 full when I received. Now I am trying a less expensive brand that also seems to work well and has a large blend of Probiotics and Prebiotics.

I haven't seen much of a difference within my dogs but then again it has been the 1st container that I have used. I feel jipped due to the container wasn't full of the product like the enzymes were and only lasted me about 2 weeks for 2 dogs. Not pleased with the amount and how long it lasted. To fix this issue would be to make sure that the container is filled with the product.

We're working to build up our Maya's immune system. A good probiotic was recommended. She's a finicky eater, however has no objection to this additive. We'll see how it goes, but so far, we're pleased that she will at least get the supplement into her system with no struggle on our part!

I take Dr. Mercola's supplements myself, so naturally I would buy them for my Maltese and Toy Poodle. Can't say I see any difference in the couple of days I have been feeding probiotics. This purchase is more geared toward overall health and longevity for my dogs, currently 4yrs and 6 yrs.
