VetriScience Probiotic Everyday for Dogs Duck Flavor 120 Chews - Itchy Skin Gut Health and Gas Relief with Prebiotics

I think many of these 2-3 star reviews are unfair to the manufacturer. Cats are notoriously picky. Any experienced cat owner will know this. Some cats like duck, some cats don't. It's like rating an ORANGE 2 stars because your cat prefers apples. Anyway, back to my review, my 4 and 5-month-old kittens were having loose stools so I had to get a probiotic along with an anti-diarrhea strategy asap. To the lady who says the treats are too big, er... just break them apart? These are easy to break into pieces and my 4-month-old kitten has a small mouth, and she can eat these whole occasionally. When she can't, I break them apart for her, problem solved. My 5-month-old kitten eats them whole, so an adult cat definitely can eat them whole. So they do like these treats and try to sniff my hands and the bag for more. I sometimes feel bad because I can only give one per day. It's been 2 weeks now and the stools are all firming up. Note that I did also incorporate a bland poached chicken diet with broth for a few days and add 1/4 capsule of Jarrow's Saccharomyces boulardii + 1/4 teaspoon of slippery elm bark powder twice a day. At this point, I'm running out so I'll have to purchase these again soon. Last but not least, one review said, "I don’t know if these do anything. They might but even if they do, your cat will probably refuse to eat them, and any marginal benefits will not be worth the deceitful methods you’ll need to employ to even test them out." Again, each cat is different. As shown with many of the other reviews, there ARE cats who do love this treat. No deceitful methods being employed here with my kittens; they eat right out of my hand. So try this out. For the price, it's worth it, and if your cats don't like it, just give it to another cat owner. All in all, I hope everyone will be able to get their cats happy and healthy again.

It’s only been a couple of weeks. But our mini daushund has gotten a lot of relief. Before he was constantly chewing his paws. Scratching and biting leaving areas with no fur. Constantly shaking his head. Now no scratching, not biting paws or his skin. No shaking his head. He started this on November 14 and now it November 23rd. He loves the duck flavor too!!! Thanks for a great product ❤️

I have a cat who is a garbage disposal, will eat anything, but for some reason turns his nose up at these when offered them as a treat (I assume he's expecting a greenie). However I've found great success in crumbling it and including it in his dry food. There is a NOTICEABLE difference, he is no longer being referred to as Mr Poopy and creating biological warfare in the litterbox. It's to the point where you can tell if one of his designated food bringers has forgotten to give him one that day. I'm happy to put in a little bit extra work to make his life a little better.

Je suis très heureuse que mon chat aime ces suppléments puisqu'il a des problèmes digestifs et c'est important qu'il consomme des probiotiques pour sa santé. Le vétérinaire a prescrit d'autres marques mais mon chat refusait de les consommer. Avec ceux-ci, il accoure dès que je sors le sac.

We have two 1 year-old cats...one (calico) is a self-imposed 'dominant' who also has a bit of 'nervous bowel'... we went through the most likely avenues to tease out her loose stool cause. After ruling out infectious causes (with abx that then caused MORE loose stool)... we tried several priobiotic treats, formulas, etc... The trouble is getting a smart kitty to eat something that is obviously not a real treat... these animals are a bit too smart for our shenanigans. As long-time pet owners, we have also found that vets tend to have very few answers for these more esoteric problems. Aside from the usual 'rule out infection'... applying 'people medicine' solutions for every kitty concern gets a bit absurd - AND very, very expensive. Also, having another kitty who was 'normal' by all accounts helped us know we weren't dealing with something communicable. BUT, a solution we seemed to have landed upon for our now months-long problem is to mash/grind up a VertiScience treat into some pulverized freeze-dried chicken bites which our cats - esp the dominant calico - love and then sprinkle this mixture on top of their wet food in the morning. The dominant always comes and eats off the freeze-dried chicken first and, therefore, gets the major dose of priobiotic. Well, her poops have been MUCH better, less stinky, more firm... less horrifying = normal. I realize this is a long way to go for this solution. BUT, if you - like us- were starting to feel a bit hopeless, pulling your hair out... you may want to go that extra mile. The alternatives are, 1) live with - and that also means your cat lives with - loose, gooey, stinky poo every day ... a horrible existence for you AND your cat ... 2) run up ridiculous vet bills trying to suss out some uncommon cause (e.g. IBD) ... or worse. So far so good... we are much happier. Our calico, too, seems SO much more at ease and loving :)
