Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets FortiFlora Probiotic Gastrointestinal Support Cat Supplement

My 15 year old Siamese, Gio, suddenly came down with an eye inflammation, nasal congestion, and sneezing. My vet said it was a virus, and strongly suggested I supplement his food with Fortiflora and l-lysine. She said this was the best probiotic on the market and that cats did better in general when given this product. Gio's eyes and congestion cleared up in about 3 days. He seems to be feeling pretty good in general. This is pricey, but worth it, and all 3 of my cats are getting some sprinkled on their every morning now, and they all seem to like it.

We have a cat that suffers from intermittent colon issues. He usually has a bad day every month or so and gets over it fairly quickly. Stress makes it worse, and the recent very bad weather with a hurricane that came through, threw him into a bad spell. This spell was particularly bad to the point where he gradually slowed down eating. I remembered this powder that I had used on a client’s picky cat (I am a pet sitter), and ordered it. Chewy got it to me quickly, and just in time because he had almost completely stopped eating. Once we started using this powder, his appetite perked up and he has been eating well ever since. And an added bonus - the probiotic has really helped regulate his BMs We have a cat that suffers from intermittent colon issues.

Would highly suggest this to any cat owner with picky eaters or those with intermittent tummy issues! … more

I’ve two distinct, but good, experiences using this with different cats. I originally purchased this for my kitten when he was on an extended round of antibiotics for pneumonia. He’d seemed a bit constipated and was having issues in the litter box - this supplement helped clear things up for him. I don’t notice a difference for him now, but he loves the taste and actually prefers his food when I mix it in. My other cat started getting some of this once it was around for the kitten. I’d have them share a packet, so she has been getting a half packet per day for about 4 months. I recently tried stopping adding this to their food, and realized how much these probiotics have seemed to help her with I’ve two distinct, but good, experiences using this with different cats.

I’ll be keeping her on a small dose of this for the long term. I wish it was a bit cheaper, but I suppose you get what you pay for. Overall, I’m really happy with the results! … more

One of my 3 had IBS issues or so i thought. He did great on a raw diet but one of my other cats was violently ill on it. I still have yet to figure it out! So we started to change food slowly. I first put them on Blue healthy gourmet chicken. He had a lot of diarrhea and gas, but the one who was allergic did great! UGH! So i was advised to add a probiotic. I tried it for over 2 mos. No positive change. Still soft stools and gas. So i removed it and now we are slowly transitioning to Blue duck and potato. NO MORE IBS or diarrhea. Good solid poops! ( for all 3...:) ) Was it the Forti flora? I think so. when we are fully on the duck ill let you know! Hoping this is the final food change One of my 3 had IBS issues or so i thought.

I've used FortiFlora for my dog, cat and foster kittens. All have had loose stools. This product firms things up. It is definitely worth it. I have given it to my dog on a daily basis for years (the dog product). Recently my cat Speedy had problems so I got it for him. It may take a few days but it works. Now it's part of the daily meal. The kittens had problems too. The rescue provided the FortiFlora and this helped them tremendously too. Also, my friends dog had problems and she tried it. It quickly helped her dog too. Let's hear if it works for your pets.

Was given this to give to a sick cat. Asked the vet if I could use it up on surviving cat. She was very much in favor. Both my cats get it young and old, I think my older one is a little more perky since having it. Instructions read for diarrhea of which neither of my cats have. Probiotics are very good for any reason.

My vet recommended this product for my Ditto, a 16 year old calico cat with kidney disease. Given with Epakitin, RX kidney diet, and some fluid replacement, it has really helped her keep the kidney failure in check for now. I found it helpful, and it helped my little Ditto, so I think it's great. The packets are easy to use, no measuring, just mix it with food.

I have a little black and white girl kitty who's always been small and who has always had a problem with severe diarrhea since she was a baby. The vet always just told me to change her diet, which I tried multiple times. Nothing worked. Her diarrhea was so bad she'd have accidents regularly wherever she slept. I tried all different kinds of food and nothing worked. Each time I brought it up to the vet they just told me that sometimes it takes a while to find the right diet. Eventually, though, she got so bad that she began vomiting and wouldn't eat at all. She wanted to, but couldn't. She's normally very hyper and perky and she became lethargic and would barely move.

Eventually, though, she got so bad that she began vomiting and wouldn't eat at all. She wanted to, but couldn't. She's normally very hyper and perky and she became lethargic and would barely move. She wound up being hospitalized for almost five days and was diagnosed with IBS (no tumors of any kind were found after receiving and ultrasound and biopsy). So, FINALLY, the vet told me about this probiotic and prescribed it for her and, thankfully, it seems to work. It's been nearly a month and she has had no accidents, her stools are solid and she's back to her usually perky, feisty self. The one downside is that she won't eat it. If I put it in her food she refuses to touch it, even when I try to put it in with her all time favorite treats she won't take so much as a bite. So, I have to mix it in with a little water and shoot it into her mouth with a syringe. Bit of a hassle, I'll admit, since she seems to hate the taste so much and fights me whenever it's time to give it to her, but necessary given it's the only way I can get her to take it. I hate having to put her through that, but if she catches so much as a whiff of the stuff in her food she just walks away from it and won't eat at all. … more

My kitty had to go on this after she had surgery due to runny stool. She is super picky, so I never thought she would eat it. Apparently it has something tasty in it that makes cats go crazy for it! I set a little bit of her food out with this sprinkled on it (separate from her main food bowl) and after a couple of days getting used to it - she ate it. The only issue is that now she won't eat food without this sprinkled on it. My vet confirmed it is fine to give every day, and said she has her cats on it daily too. It seemed to help with her stool, plus it acts as an appetite stimulant!

We have 5-cats and always one cat decides she is not going to eat what they ate just yesterday. Our vet suggested Pro Plan as a supplements and it has a good taste. Not sure how my Vet knew it tasted good. Whatever, the cat family loves to eat and Pro Plan has reduced their Fussy-ness at meal time. For once I am now not wasting expensive cat food trying to keep everybody eating.
