About This Item

Details

  • Bene-Bac is a nutritional supplement that provides digestive support to pups, kitties, exotic animals, and wildlife mammals for changing conditions such as birth, breeding, post-surgery, antibiotic therapy, weaning, worming, showing, boarding, and travel.
  • This powder contains concentrated FOS and live, naturally occurring microorganisms found in the intestinal tract of small mammals.
  • This supplement is recommended as part of the management for animals subjected to adverse conditions, and it may be used for regular maintenance in some situations.
  • Give once weekly to dogs and cats as part of a healthy diet program, every third day to orphaned infants until weaning, or daily for animals on antibiotics. Probiotics aid in digestion while modulating the immune system as well as inhibiting the growth and activity of harmful bacteria, such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Clostridium perfringens, all while helping to prevent urinary tract infections, reducing allergic reactions and controlling inflammation.
  • This supplement is not for human consumption, and it’s best to consult your veterinarian before adding to your buddy’s diet.

Questions & Answers

17 Customer Questions


if I gave the recommended dose to a rat daily or ever other day how long would it last?

Answer by ChewyNov 11, 2019
This 4.5 ounce (127 grams) container will contain approximately 47 teaspoon servings, since 1 level teaspoon equals approximately 2.7 grams of powder. If only giving 1/4 teaspoon each time, it would last 188 doses.

Would this help with diarrhea?

Answer by ChewyNov 07, 2018
The concentrated live cultures in this product aid digestion and modulate the immune system for your pet. The probiotics included may help prevent urinary tract infections, and can even reduce allergic reactions by decreasing intestinal permeability and controlling inflammation.

Hello, I'm wondering how long this product is shelf stable? There does not seem to be an expiration date on my bottle. Thank you.

Answer by ARRRJul 01, 2025
The exp date should be on the bottom of the bottle. Generally, shelf life is 1.5 years.

What does the FOS stand for in this product?

Answer by ChewyNov 27, 2018

I used BB powder before when my ferrets had ECE and it seemed to help above anything else. Maybe it is problem-based but I have had no luck with it this time for either of my ferrets. The price is great. And maybe it helps with basic GI balance problems. I hate that the first ingredient is dextose. While minimal amounts are given, when it becomes a routine diet additive, sugar can be problematic. Perhaps it is needed for absorption of the ingredients but I am not sure.

My cat started with loose stools in Oct, and it took 3 months, but now he’s back to normal. His issue was not urgent and he was still only pooping once a day, so 1/2 tsp twice a day mixed in his food did the trick.

Use this for my 2 dogs and rescue kitty. Cat had loose stool with bad odor and this product helped digestion, stool became normal and foods no longer irritated her gut. Also FYI everyone this is NOT FOR BIRDS (Avians) it is for mammals only. Benebac used to make a similar probiotic for avians but discontinued it. This is fantastic product for mammals but not birds. I wish Benebac would bring back the avian/ reptile probiotic, was also very good.

Perfect for a large herd of Guinea pigs

I have a lot of Guinea pigs and would go through the syringe paste way too fast. This powder makes more sense when you have a large herd of Guinea pigs.

My diabetic cat Nacho was having bouts of vomiting despite his BG being normal. He has IBS and takes Famotidine but these probiotics are wonderful in easing these bouts of indigestion or irritable stomach. They have truly helped him. He’s on a low carb diet for his diabetes and loves his food but he often gulps his food leading to vomiting of food besides his IBS.

I usually buy the Benebac gel in the tube and it works great for a cat with diarrhea or soft stools. But, it gets expensive to use the tubes on my big dogs. This works as good as the gel and easy to put in the dog’s food. A must have for those emergencies where the dirt and grass that my dogs eat upsets their digestive track.
