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

My boy was not having a good bowel movement for a long time. There would be big hardened chunks from all the fluid intake, but I would rarely see those matters he produced (a few small ones in 2-3 days) I began giving him a few pieces of food topping that have some ingredients that supposed to help digestive health, and it sure did help! I saw some difference where he was producing a bit more regularly than before. However, I wasn't quite sure about moving into giving him probiotics, because 1) you don't know if he's going to like it, 2) you don't see how his body would react to it, and 3) he can't tell you if it's working out for him.

I simply gave it a try as I recently began receiving some benefits from taking probiotics myself. After some research, I decided to try Dr.Mercola's Complete Probiotics, and WOW, it definitely did make a big difference within days! He's going to the bathroom more often, color and density looking all good. He was first a bit hesitant to try it on top of his wet food but eventually was okay with it. With its generous size, it will probably last for good three months. Fewer calories than food toppings which will help his weight loss as well. Satisfied! … more

Our puppy suffered loose stools ever since we got him from our breeder, even after doing antibiotics and then a probiotic paste + prebiotic pills we got from out vet, there was little to no change at all. After almost a year of trouble shooting we started using this product and there was a difference within a few days! After months of loose stools FINALLY our dog was having normal #2. It clearly had an impact on his digestive health. We continued using it as we transitioned him to a raw food diet and it appeared the digestive effects of transitioning was very minimal. Would absolutely recommend.

I have had my 2 Pomeranians on this probiotic for a couple years now & they rarely ever have any issues. Easy to mix with their raw food.

Outstanding probiotic product for dogs that absolutely can not have any animal protein products in their food. My dog has a severe gastrointestinal sensitivity to ANY animal protein substance and Dr Mercola's Probiotics has NO additives. It is the ONLY probiotic I can give my dog. So glad I was able to find this in the Chewy line of products.

I expected to see a change, based on comments from puppy professionals and owners regarding the benefits of these dietary aids. Reviews led me to believe this would be the best choice. Will review again and maybe try a different company.

My hubby's dog was put on a different probiotic and I decided to give some to my pup. Both dogs LOVED that stuff, and it only had one strain. I saw this and thought it would be a better product. Both dogs, unfortunately, don't like it and don't want to eat if this is in their food. Maybe it should be put in a capsule so it can be hidden in peanut butter or something.... but as it is, I won't buying it again.

The more "L" starting words in a probiotic the better they say. So take a look at Dr. Mercola's probiotic for dogs and cats. The "man" knows his stuff!

I change the probiotics that I give my dogs to try to provide a variety of probiotics. Even though this is a ground product my dogs eat it in their food. Their stools are formed and firm but not hard and their appetites are good.

My dog has EPI. (His pancreas doesn't work.) Some dogs with epi get other issues that result in yeast overgrowth. Knowing this ahead of time, I started my dog on this complete probiotics almost as soon as I did his pancreatic enzymes that I need to put in his food. He has been on this and his epi meds for over two years now with no yeast overgrowth. I have no proof that this product has been the cause of that, but I will continue to give it to him. I also have no proof that this is helping with his digestion, but over the past two years I have slowly been able to lower the dose of his epi powder. I know when that needs to happen because he will start to dry-heave or spit up bile throughout My dog has EPI. (His pancreas doesn't work.)

I know when that needs to happen because he will start to dry-heave or spit up bile throughout the day. When I lower the dose of epi meds, that stops. His stool continues to be solid as well. Again, I have no proof that his progress is because of this product, but as the old saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." So I will continue to purchase Dr. Mercola Complete Probiotics. I will say that you can purchase a three pack on Dr Mercola's site and get a better deal, however, it is more convenient for me to have it autoshipped through chewy.com. Just a side note, my dog weighs about 32 pounds and I give him 3/4 a scoop mixed in a little water just before bed. That way the probiotics stay in his stomach for a longer period of time without him digesting food and water. … more

In my view, probiotics are important for health generally, but especially with and after a course of antibiotics. These the specific probiotics needed for dogs and cats are in a form that is best for assimilation.Five scoops (65 lb. dog) are not as convenient as capsules, but excellent product. Mix well with liquid to avoid dog inhaling powder.
