My 2 foster kittens have been getting Fortiflora in their food for a couple of weeks now. When the shelter volunteers found them, they were scrawny, dehydrated, and loaded with parasites. With the help of Fortiflora and their meds, they are starting to gain energy, and even a little bit of weight. They seem to like the taste, too.

Pros: boosts immune system

Cons: cost

My dog Patton has chronic intestinal disease. Like crones disease in humans. His intestinal track looks like "bricks". He cannon digest any type of dog food as he cannot absorbe the protien in it and it bleeds into his abdomon and swells him up to the point of killing him. Needless to say he is on several medications, but his diet consists of white rice, potatos, low fat cottage cheese, vitamins, omega oil, bone meal and you guessed it florta flora. The forta flora really helps him in is disgestive process without it and the special diet we would have had to put him down a year ago. He survives simply because products like this are available to dogs like him. Highly recommended for dogs dogs with disgestive gassy problems. It is expensive $30 dollars a month, but well worth it.

Pros: Easy measured doses

Cons: expensive

My vet recommended this to us for our overweight maine coon who had pooing issues - constant diarrhea, sometimes with blood. After finding nothing wrong with him in fecal tests, she suggested that we use this and we saw results within a day. He has solid poo with no blood and he seems happier, too. Also, because of the "good" bacteria I'm assuming, he's beginning to lose weight since nutrients are being divided properly. He gets half a packet in the morning sprinkled over his food and the second half for over his food in the evening. I'm assuming it tastes good because we have to watch the other three cats during meal time; they'll try to sneak their way to his food and eat!

Pros: It works, easy to give

Cons: Cost

We adopted a kitten with long-lasting and stubborn GI issues. We sprinkled 1/2 packet of FortiFlora on her food daily. It really seemed to help her sensitive digestive system.

We used it for months, until her gut matured. The cost does add up, but I feel it was well worth it. This was a kitten who was becoming anemic due to her bloody stools. She's a healthy, roly poly, NON-gassy 9 month old kitten now.

We would absolutely use this product again if we ever have another animal with GI issues.

Pros: Helps GI issues

Cons: Cost?

We recently started using this at the shelter. Just mix a packet in with food and the cats don't seem to know it's there. An easy way to administer something with wonderful benefits. So far we've seen improvements with existing GI issues

Pros: Easy to administer, great benefits

Cons: None that we've found
