Dr. Mercola, Complete Probiotics, for Cats and Dogs, 3.17 oz (90 g), Supports Immune Function, Digestive Support, Non GMO, Soy Free, Gluten Free

I adopted two cats from a hoarder situation and they came stressed and neglected. Their poop was really loose, runny and stinky and their fur was oily and crunchy. I started them on this probiotics, one scoop each for a week then cut back to half a scoop a day. I mix it in their (higher quality) wet food with a little water to blend with the food. A few weeks later their poops were nice and firm (never thought I'd get excited over poop) and their fur softened up with a nice shine. Even my extremely picky senior would eat it with no issues. I recommend it!

I bought this because my 9yr old 60 lb. female red nose Staffordshire would get itchy every spring. Other than springtime sensivities I believed her to be in great condition. As she aged the springtime problems got worse every year. She had had cortisone shots and prednisone pills in the past which helped her get thru the worst months but I knew the side effects were no good for her or me. Early last spring, while dreading those warmer months coming on for my girl Seri, I started researching different approaches to help her thru the miserably itchy time of year. I decided to try this probiotic for her and started with a half of scoop (1/2 dose) a.m. and p.m. to get her used to it. I sprinkled it on her kibble. She didn't seem to mind the powder, but for some reason she slowed her bites down and chewed more which was a good thing. Even though she was not in full itch mode at the time, what symptoms their were, started abating within 4 days. I gradually brought her up to full dose and kept her there to this day. Her itching went away and never fully materialized again. I have tried to lower her dose a couple times, but when I do, she shows signs of the itch coming back. So I don't hesitate to bring her back up to full dose right away. Even tho she used to make it thru the cold months fine, I will continue a probiotic, likely for the rest of her life. Seri has had a very active life and is still very active. In fact excercise was most important when she was in her itchy phases - it would take the edge off. As she got older she developed a periodic limp in her front shoulder. She also had a tendency for weight fluctuations and bloat. With this product all of that went away as well. Her coat became softer and her smell is sweeter too. She is overall a very happy, playful and balanced girl dog. Still going horseback and bike riding with me and in great condition. I do know she would not be as healthy if I had not started her on this probiotic 8 months ago. It gives me new hope for my 4 legged partner in her golden years. 4 months ago I put her on a New food that is very low in simple carbs. The least amount of grains, peas or potatoes I could find. I wish it were easier to find a dog food that is made the way it was 40 yrs ago; out of the things that were good for dogs. It has changed for the worse. Poor puppies. Thought about a raw diet but that seemed extreme for a 9 yr old. Aaah well. Hope this helps someone with their dog. If your dog is young and you are starting to see some itchy ear and coat problems, whether all year or certain times of the year, make some changes now because the symptoms get worse as they age. There is no getting around it. Also excercise your friend, large or small. There is no substitute for a hike-about, Even a short one. A yard, no matter how big is nothing but a fish bowl. If you listen, you can hear the frustration in a dogs barking in your neighborhood that is stuck in a fish bowl 24/7. Take them out regularly and that frustrated barking, digging, fence fighting etc. Will go away. Good Luck All. Thanks!

My cat was developing ongoing spouts of bloody diarrhea and vomiting undigested food. I know his health was in good condition because I recently did a full blood work panel on him and just got a dental, but the too many trips to the vet and the addition of a new pet (190lbs mastiff) was making him really stressed. The dog always left him alone so it wasn't like he is being chased around.We did a couple of things and I think the combination helped him tremendously. First, I started with the therapeutic dose of 1 scoop of this probiotics sprinkled over his grain-free food (1/4 cup of dry food am + 1/2 scoop probiotics and repeat pm). After a week, he no longer had the bloody diarrhea so I lowered the dosage to maintenance (1/2 scoop total per day) and bought a feliaway diffuser to keep him more relaxed. After a month he only vomited once, but its because he ate too fast.We also blocked off the kitchen with a dog gate (but has a smaller door that lets him in) so he can go into the laundry room were his food and cat litter is so he can eat and poop in peace. The probiotics definitely helped his digestion and he hasn't vomited again and his feces are looking good again. I'll be keeping him on the maintenance dosage for the rest of his life.Now, I started my 10 year old mastiff on this for his gas, but I might switch him to the miracle probiotics and keep this probiotics for my cat, because after just a week of the maintenance dose (2 scoops per day) it has almost run out. It gets more expensive if you have a dog over 60lbs and doesn't last as long.Also as far as the taste, I sprinkled this over both of their dry food and neither had any issue eating their food, but neither of them are picky eaters to begin with.
